Summer Faves

How I Got Rid of My Dandruff
Dandruff – it’s been the bane of my life since I hit puberty, and it’s continued well into my fifties and beyond. I’ve tried countless ways to rid myself of this irritating condition, and it’s only in the last couple of years that I’ve finally found a way to tame it.
