Sun burn! The body keeps track of every second you ever spent in the sun (DNA cross linking). Eventually the skin cashes in or turns in all those hours in the sun and rapid skin aging sets in.

The answer to that question is clearly excessive Sun damage and Sunburn.

Had I known then… while slathering myself in baby oil and frying in the sun for hours at a time (ok you did it too..haha) what the sun would eventually do to my skin, I would have never done it. But I didn't know and neither did anyone else at the time…but we do now.

Today, with the amazing advances in skin treatment products, you can look as if you just returned from your "month vacation" in the south of France without ever leaving your bathroom. Combine that with a good selection of high performance skin treatment products, and you can avoid much of that damage, and still look fresh and youthful.
