With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to start building that tan. Tanning, as anyone who has tried before knows, is a process and it does require time and effort. Tanning is not about visiting a sunbed one or twice and then strutting around like a bronzed God.

When it comes to skin care, we often jump to conclusions. Yes, our facial skin is important and ought to be treated with TLC, but so should the rest of our skin.
