Although a toasty tan looks and
feels great, the sun's rays can
damage skin and hair, making
adequate protection measures
essential. ,
Gradual, short-term exposure is the
first important measure to gaining the
perfect tan. Seventeen magazine
advises sunning 15 minutes for the first
few days, followed by a slow build-up to
prevent burning.
The sun's intensity is tricky. Don't be
fooled by cloudy days -dangerous
ultraviolet rays penetrate just the same.
Even if you are under a beach umbrella,
up to 50 percent of the sun's rays reach
the skin.
The sun's danger zone is from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Planning a trip to Florida?
Don't forget that you need more
sunscreen the closer you are to the
equator.
Another tip is not to lie still in the sun.
You can stay out longer and not burn if
you keep moving because fewer
ultraviolet rays hit a moving, vertical
target.
Also, don't wear perfume when you
are in the sun. Some scents cause
photosensitive reactions, leaving a dark
spot where perfume was applied.
Certain prescription drugs such as
tetracycline are also photosensitive.
Remember to reapply lotion often
because perspiration and swimming
wear off protection.
"Benefits from sun on skin are only
temporary not lasting," said Rebecca
CoKvell, who lived in Florida for 16 years
and now works for Merle Norman. One
point Colwell stressed is to always wear
sunglasses. Without them, there's a
tendency to squint, which begins the
wrinkling process. "Once the skin
under the eyes is stretched, and
wrinkles begin, there is no turning
back," she said.
Sunlight can be helpful to some types
of acne conditions, but you should
check with your dermatologist. In some
cases sunlight can aggravate acne.
The most effective way to prevent
sun-damaged hair is to keep it covered.
This is especially important to brunettes
because sun can fade the color of their
hair.
It is important to keep hair
conditioned, and to add a deep-
ijL
conditioning treatment every two
weeks , according to G lamour magazine .
David Dwyer, of Hair Untimited said,
"You can't do too much conditioning
during the summer." He also stressed
the importance of washing salt and
chlorine out of your hair after
swimming.
Keeping the hair trimmed every four
to six weeks to get rid of dry, split ends
which result from overexposure to the
sun is also important, Dwyer said.
Finally, Seventeen gives some good
tips for the use of lemon in summer hair
care.' It can be used not only for
lightening hair, but a few lemon drops
added to shampoo will make hair
shinier. Add the juice of one-half a
lemon to clean water to wash away
traces of soap, grease and chlorine. O

When Olivia Newton-John picked her way at
John Travolta's side perched precariously
atop a pair of high-heeled Candies in the
movie Grease, she helped create a look that Chapel
Hill shoe dealers say will dominate the spring line of
footwear for women.
Women's shoes for the new season will feature the
high and narrow heels typical of the Canc&es and disco
look, but men's shoe styles will remain unaffected by
the trend, merchants say.
"Men s shoes have Jess rapid styfe changes, but
women's are more erratic," explained C.L Sutton,
manager of Endicott Johnson's in University Mall.
"This spring's footwear is a build toward a higher
heel which is a continuation of the fall styles," he said.
"In dress shoes the tendency seems to be toward
higher heels." .
Candies and Baretrap, Candies' biggest competitor,
are evidence of this trend, he said. They are more
Colors for the spring shoes, merchants say, will be
neutral shades to help tie wardrobes together,
requested by college-age women than other shoes in
stock now, Sutton said.
Debbie Rose of Harm's in University Mall attributed
the higher heel to the change in women's fashions.
"The look for the spring is shorter and narrower," she
said. "It's not as layered now, so it's focusing more on
legs. The new shoes go with this new look. They're
very high and strappy to go with the skinny shirts.
Shoes aren't clunky anymore. They're deficate."
Spike heels, ankle straps and open toes are the
styles women will find in stores, agreed Tom Scholl,
assistant manager of Roscoe Griffin in University Mall,
because there is a move away from closed shoes.
"Except for a few casual styles it's almost imrjossible
to find a closed toe," he said. The exception is the
canvas espadrillea carryover from last season's
spring line.
Shoes of natural leather and patent leather will be
most common but stores will carry some of wood and
canvas such as clogs, which are still popular for spring
wear.
Men's shoe styles, on the other hand, have changed
little. Most shoes will be low and conservative once
again, merchants say.
"Our styles for the spring are primarily the same as
the fall, "but they are a little lower and more
conservative," Sutton said. "Wallabees andtopsiders,
for example, have and continue to be popular styles
because of their comfort."
Scholl said he finds that generally the suede,
mocassin lace-up style appeals to the college-age
student for economic reasons and for comfort's sake.
The most notable change in the men's line will be the
addition of sandals, according to Rose.
"College students always buy Bass sandals and now
we've got them for men" she said. "The sandals are the
main thing that will be in since men's shoes really don't
change all that much." n
