It's not too late, save your skin!!
We are all becoming used to applying sunscreen as needed when we’re outside - it’s the healthy, responsible thing to do, but remember when you were 8 and your mom tried to lay on a nice coat before you went for a swim, then you escaped before she finished… with a minimal amount of protection. That sun damage is still present. What can you do?

Dior, too demure? We think not.
Dior displayed fashions that were right out of the ’40s - similar to the designs of when they first began.
They had lots of over the knee skirt suits, they maintained similar color schemes throughout and the finale included a floor length tulle gown that gave the audience a full view of Karlie Kloss’ behind. Which is assumed to have been designed with Mr. Galliano in mind....
