So this is what blogging is, huh? Well, let's see what we can accomplish here...

First topic: Sun exposure. Not very romantic or glamorous, I know, and no one wants a lecture about wearing sunscreen, so I'm not going to give you one. I really just want to tell you about ways you can diminish your existing sun damage with products and treatments here at the spa.
The best thing you can do for your skin is to prevent damage in the first place by wearing sunscreen! (OK, I slipped it in there) I recommend an SPF of 30, and remember to reapply every 2 hours to stay protected. Our favorites are both moisturizer/sunscreen combos with some great added features.
