Last month, I attended a beauty launch event as I do most days. I walked into a room full of my beauty-editor peers, beauty experts and beauty PRs who have been in the game for decades. As always, I circulated the room, making conversation with people as I went. "Have you been away?! Or are you wearing a fake tan?" I asked one long-time work friend. "You look so tanned," I added.
"Don't tell anyone," she whispered. "I've been hitting the beds."
