"Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are saving thousands of lives from cancer – by maintaining their pale complexions," Entertainment Daily writes quoting experts who argue the Twilight couple is promoting healthy skin by not showing off overexposure to sunlight.
The vampy fame surrounding vampires like "Edward Cullen" in Twilight and Alexander Skarsgard’s True Blood character "Eric" offers youth another side of beauty that doesn’t include exposing skin to harmful, UV rays. While Pattinson and Stewart aren’t the first celebs to go pale, Dr. Raj Mallipeddi says the pale skin pair has good celebrity pull with tweens and will ultimately help to reduce cancer rates.
“People have to want to resemble the individual giving the message," Dr. Mallipeddi said to The Daily Star. "If that image comes in vogue then people will follow suit and ultimately that could be better for people’s skin." Mallipeddi’s opinion is also supported by in-vogue cosmetics company, Urban Decay Cosmetics. A rep for the company, Eric Jimenz, agrees, saying, "Due to films such as Twilight, people see that pale skin can still be sophisticated, timeless and glamorous.”
Ironically enough, the UK is being led by celebrities like Kelly Osbourne and Nicole Roberts, to take a stand against tanning. Osbourne, who was lauded for her use of self-tanner on America’s Dancing with the Stars, went on to endorse a self-tanning lotion, St. Tropez..
"Must get to bed im shooting an ad for st. tropez tomorrow. Crazy I know who would have thought I would be the face of a spray tan!" the 25-year-old Kelly tweeted pre-shoot. Later adding, "This shoot is really fun just got my spray tan and I can’t get over how good it looks I’m not orange at all!"
