Good Afternoon and Happy Sunday!
As Summer is starting to wind down the reality of spending lots of time in the SUN may be coming to a head. The sun’s rays make us feel good, and in the short term, make us look good. But unfortunately, exposure to sun causes most of the wrinkles and age spots on our faces and body.
