All women want to have beautiful skin; to enjoy the warmth and healing that the sun can bring without worrying about it damaging their skin.

The good news is that there is a way to reduce the damage done by the sun's rays. Dr. Regina Hamlin, a leading dermatologist has this to say: "The most effective way to reduce this damage and slow the signs of aging is through a holistic approach that combines the best in dermatological and nutritional science with common sense, like wearing a hat and sunglasses. Scientists have recently made new discoveries in skin care technology that will allow many people to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the sun again without the worry."

There are five steps in a complete skin care regimen that can combat the sun's damage. These are sunscreens, topical nutrition, non-irritating preservatives, natural complexes, and proper nutrition and hydration.
