My skin has been exposed to a lot of sun the last year and half from going to the beach every month. My color is naturally tan but became even tanner, im regaining my color now.   I don’t really mind being dark, im comfortable with my color.  I don’t really use whitening lotions and stuff like some who prefer who to be whiter (no offense).  What  I am more concerned about is the health of my skin, did you know that the skin is the largest organ in your body?

Let me share with you about the average weight of some of our body organs.

So see,  the largest  is the skin, so its important to know the best skin care available. The basic care is to have good hygiene,  take 8 glasses of water a day, 8 hours of sleep and exercise, and good diet. Vitamin E is the particular vitamin good for the skin.
