Summer is right around the corner and we all want that perfect summer glow and tan. But….as you know, the sun is bad, it makes us wrinkle, it damages our skin and can potentially cause cancer. Luckily, Mary Kay has a solution that will give you a natural glow without turning you orange.

Mary Kay has just released their new Subtle Tanning lotions. The lotion is applied all over the body and slowly gives you an all natural glow. In about a week, you can achieve a subtle natural looking “tan.”

The Tanning lotion also acts as a moisturizer and is great for days at the beach when your skin gets dry. The lotion is non greasy and the moisture is absorbed by the skin so that the color will stay in place.

The products sell for $16 for the Subtle Tanning Lotion to $7.50 for the Lip Protector Sunscreen.

With all the info out there on the dangers of UV rays and sun damage, it is important to protect yourself and your skin. There are lots of tanning lotions out there than can help you achieve a tanned appearance. The Mary Kay line of Subtle Lotions can give your skin a glow in only one week, and it wont turn you orange, so there is no excuse to damage your skin.

Market America - a leading product brokerage and Internet marketing company that specializes in One-One-Marketing - is going to start offering the ability for customers to post reviews on the thousands of products that are available on the Market America Site. Through a joint venture with PowerReviews, the site will now allow “those who have used our products and allows us to use the data to evaluate the quality of our products and how they are perceived by the public,” said James Ridinger, market America’s CEO. The PowerReviews technology platform for collecting, organizing, structuring and moderating relevance-based reviews helps online retailers significantly leverage customer reviews and boost their sales by giving shoppers access to the most meaningful reviews from people just like them. The user-generated content and community drives the highest sales uplift in the industry. “Research clearly shows that consumers often rely on peers, experts and early adopters before making a purchasing decision,” said James Ridinger. “With thousands of exclusive Market America product offerings on marketamerica.com spread across a wide array of industries, we are excited to give consumers another valuable resource to evaluate these products and aid them in their online shopping experience.” We think this is a great move by Market America and should help them compete on a technology basis with the likes of Amazon.com whose user base relies heavily on reviews as a means to drive product sales.
