Expert advice on how to take better care of your skin in summer
Don't let the hot weather season cause your skin to suffer. Here is how you can take better care of it to ensure it looks healthy and radiant.
The weather affects how our skin looks.

This not only leads to dehydration, but it can affect how your skin looks and feels.
