Ladies, summer is just around the corner which means it’s time to bring out the swimsuits, shorts and tank tops. This is the season where your skin soak up all the vitamin D the sun has to offer. Before we expose are vitamin D deficient skin, we have to make sure our body is silky smooth. Maintaining a smooth hairless body requires a lot of maintenance. I would like to share some tips that I hope will make it easier for you in the summer.
