It’s that time of year again, when the sun peaks through and your skin soaks it all up like a sponge. Sure you’ll get a nice tan, but the sun’s harmful rays will affect your skin, and when it does, that tan won’t even be worth it. Here’s how to protect your sensitive skin from that powerful sun. Most people think that an SPF 30 or more will completely shield them from the sun’s damaging rays. Wrong.

Start by using firming creams, tightening serums, or whatever is suitable for your skin type to regenerate yourself in the morning. Evening is the best time to use anti-aging treatments, since ingredients like retinol are less effective when exposed to sunlight. So slather on a good serum at night, lay back, relax, and fall asleep. Try not to linger on negative thoughts, as stress can have a big impact on your...

Skin care facials aren’t just day-spa luxuries anymore. Women can now get facials at dermatologists’ offices, hair salons and even gyms! Not every facial is a great experience, though.
