Being someone who absolutely loves being in the sun, I still know the not-so-great results of loving it a little too much when not taking precautions: Wrinkles, leathery skin, sun spots, and even potential skin cancer- NO THANK YOU! That being said, I always find myself slathering on sunscreen to preserve my skin the best I can. Even though I get slightly tan in the summer when I wear sunscreen, I occasionally like to look a little extra bronzed with the help of self tan. Luckily I can still have that glowing tan without paying the price of sacrificing my skin to the sun. I’ve…

A Summer Vacation Skin Care Essential: COOLA Suncare Review + GIVEAWAY
