How to: Keep Your Summer Glow Through Fall
Invariably, despite the piles of sunscreen I slather on daily, every summer I get a bit of a tan. This summer due to a few beach excursions, I got a serious tan. I’m not complaining — I love the glow that comes from a from a little sun exposure. But when fall comes that glow tends to fade, and that process can be pretty nasty if you don’t have the proper tools for transitioning your summer glow to fall.
