Their passionate pursuit for the perfectly even tan leads them to overdo their sun exposure. People who wanted a summer tan, but didn't want to spend too many hours splayed naked under the sun have other options. These handy tanning products are healthy alternatives to staying too long outdoors, getting sunburned, and possibly developing skin cancer in the end.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation
