Hi lovelies,
It may be October but there’s never not a good time to talk about the sun.
Unlike most estheticians, I do not hate the sun.
The sun is amazing.
It’s great for our skin, bodies, and mind in so many ways.
And like most things in life, it’s all about balance.
There are so many misconceptions about this giant star. We shine a light on what you need to know.
Hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any more questions, I’m an open book!
