Health, Beauty and Lifestyle with Denise McNamara

This humid weather has been playing havoc with my skin. I’ve had the first breakout for a couple of years, which is not ideal just as I board a plane for the holiers. Hot weather, humidity, and extra sun exposure that can result in sweat-induced clogged pores, dehydration, sunburn and pigmentation.
