TURN BACK TIME

With summer coming to an abrupt close, we can all look back with regret, as the evenings and winter draws in and engulfs us. The look on my patients face when they come in to see me at this time of the year tells me that they either enjoyed themselves too much, during a summer of fun, or that they did not enjoy themselves at all! After the end of the summer, there always many who rush in to see me regretting a season of skin sins. There will be those who skimped on a chemical sun protection...
