Tropical rays are wonderful for your frame of mind; for your hair and skin, not so much. For guidance in looking good while having fun in the sun, we sought out two experts from Steiner Leisure, which operates Carnival’s spas and salons: Jess Heger, manager of Salon Services, and skin-care expert Angela Searle.
