In episode thirteen of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts sits down with Rhiannon Hall and Maddy Balderson, founders of Luna Bronze, founders of Summer Fridays.Interest in beauty or otherwise, I am of the belief that this is one of the most important conversations we’ve had on this podcast. Best friends Rhi and Maddy grew up on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula as avid tanners and sun worshippers. In 2014, Maddy started experiencing sporadic bleeding and changes in her skin and, over a year later, she was diagnosed with a form of skin cancer. After an invasive surgery to remove the cancer, which was dangerously close to her lymph nodes, Maddy and Rhi vowed to change their tanning habits. 2016 saw the launch of Luna Bronze- a now globally stocked tanning brand that ticked the boxes Maddy and Rhi had unsuccessfully searched for in their hunt for the perfect false tan- a seemingly natural colour, a natural, organic, cruelty free formula, made in Australia with no classic false tan odour and housed in beautiful, sustainable packaging. In this conversation, Gemma talks to Rhi and Maddy the dangers of brands and influencers online who glamorise sun tanning, where the responsibility of protecting Australians from cancers and sun damage lies and what we, as consumers, brands and the media, can do to help and the importance of sustainability in an industry that perpetuates a culture of “more, more, more.”You can read this interview now at: glowjournal.com/interview-luna-bronzeFollow Luna Bronze on Instagram at @luna_bronzeStay up to date with Gemma on Instagram at @gemkwatts and @glow.journal, or get in touch at hello@gemkwatts.com  Hosted on Acast.
