Skin Care Routine
Many of us are trying to get into summer mode: working on our bathing suit bodies and looking forward to tanning by the pool all day, enjoying the warm, beautiful sunshine. However, in the olden days, it was quite the opposite. Women admired blemish-free porcelain skin and made a conscious effort to stay out of the sun.

Summer was not fun for the women of the Wild West. They spent the hot months wearing clothes that covered almost all of their skin.

Now, we put on sunscreen, and we’re good to go.
