Summers are in full swing. All the sleeveless clothes and shorts are hanging in the front row of our cupboards. Wearing such trendy clothes is really the in thing at the moment. But at the same time, it brings some major skin problems. Wearing shorts, deep neck and sleeveless; results in more skin exposure to the harmful Ultraviolet sunrays.
