Sunscreen in Soaps, Washes and Cleansers: Oh My!
The latest trend in sunscreen this summer is a new technology called Wash On that integrates sunscreen into soaps, facial cleansers, body washes and shampoos. This way, it's integrated into your routine rather than adding another step.
Wash On is intended for use against daily, incidental exposure to the sun, such as that gained from commuting or running errands.

- The skin of smokers ages more rapidly than the skin of non-smokers, even in areas of the body not exposed to sunlight, according to a 2007 study. Women in the study who smoked also had much lower levels of vitamin E secretions in their skin. Vitamin E may protect the skin from sun damage.
- There may be an association between smoking and higher frequency of a type of acne (noninflammatory acne) in adult women, according to a European study.

As a former sunshine addict, I have to remind myself that the sun is the primary cause of wrinkles and other signs of ageing, such as dark under-eye circles and a general lack of radiance.
Do Facials Promise Too Much?

Dealing With Allergies' Side Effects: Dark Circles Under the Eyes
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, sneezing and a stuffy nose might not be the only side effects you have to suffer through.
