Live it up this Summer.... ( ENTRY FOR The Lakmé Diva Blogger Contest on IndiBlogger )


Sun tan is one of the major problem with the darker skins. Many of them like to have their skin tanned in summer but some wants to get rid away from sun tan. The affected areas are mainly face, neck and arms. Avoiding over exposure to sun may get rid of  tan. Tanning, which is visible on your skin, is a sign that deep down in your skin’s derma-layers, damages like sun spots, pigmentation, age lines and more, are forming.
