Women would polish their nails with chamois leather prior to varnishing with rose-tinted oil or paste, opting for a natural-looking pink. The beginning of the century also saw an increased popularity among foundational skin care items, such as astringents, moisturizers, soaps, and night masks. Come the twenties, pale complexions had become passé. Bronze suntans were the prized color of skin for the fashionable, and companies began to market liquid and powder self-tanners that touted themselves as just as natural-looking as the real thing. This remained a trend throughout the thirties, when specialized suntan oils and lotions where made to specifically filter out harmful rays of the sun. The sales of skin care products even remained strong throughout the Great Depression. The outbreak of war saw many cutbacks in civilian luxuries, skin care items included. To replace items low in stock, women were advised to soften their hands by wearing gloves to bed or to roll a chestnut in their palms. The U.S. government even provided hand and protective face cream to women factory workers due to the harsh effect the manual labor was having on their skin. Toward the last half of the century, herbal remedies and “natural skin care," were on the rise, a trend that has survived all the way up to modern times.
