Whether you breathe it in, smear it on, drink it down, or wash it off, "stuff" in your environment can make you sick...or help you thrive. Strive to thrive!(TM) by learning the "dos and don'ts" of skin health. What will you discover in this book? - Can those who don't like the shade of their skin change it?
