By now, you know that it’s essential to load up with sunblock before you head outside.

After spending the majority of your winter inside under the blankets, your skin might be looking a bit pale.

Many women believe that they don’t need to wear sunscreen if they’re not planning to spend the day outside.

Unless you’re headed on a tropical vacation, you’re probably not going to find yourself out in the sunlight much this winter.

It’s tough to maintain a believable tan in winter – especially if you want to avoid tanning beds – but it’s not impossible if you combine the right self-tanners and bronzers with glow-improving foods.

If you’re compiling a list of New Year’s resolutions, you may want to think for a minute about what changes your beauty routine could use.

Summertime means sweat – a lot of it. If you’re the kind of gal who breaks out in perspiration after walking up a flight of stairs during the dog days of summer, the thought of applying greasy sunscreen on top of your already fragile complexion might be less than appealing.

If you’re a serious runner, running mile after mile in compression shorts, a tight sports bra or a scratchy jersey can leave your skin red, raw and irritated.

Unfortunately, most suntan lotions aren’t conducive to proper skincare, so fashionistas will need a different method to sport their favorite beach ensembles.

A day at the beach is all about fun in the sun, but once you get home, you might discover that the sunburned aftermath of your afternoon is anything but pleasant.
