Key Quote  "Sunscreen is really a vital part of any skincare routine, regardless of your skin type. When you're exposed to the sun's harmful UV rays, the skin is really at a much greater risk of damage, and that includes premature aging, sunburn, and even skin cancer." - Liz Steffen   SPONSORSHIP This podcast is brought to you by Vanilla Sugar Face & Body.
