SUMMER BEAUTY TRICKS THAT SOLVE ALL YOUR PESKY ISSUES

AS MUCH AS WE LOVE BASKING IN THE WARM SUN, we could certainly do without the havoc it can wreak on our appearance, from sunburns and chafing to oily skin and nonstop sweat. To the rescue?

HAVE SHINY SKIN? MATTIFY IT WITH OIL-ABSORBING MOISTURIZER
