Early summer is high season for the Fast Lane's inbox, prompting Tyler Brûlé to think of having a FAQs page for responses to identical questions that pop up week after week

I'm a huge fan of my vitamin-A anti-aging regimen. Either I'm using the $20 tube of Retin-A I picked up in Mexico OTC this winter or I'm slathering on the uber-moisturizing Renova samples my dermatologist gave me. But now that I'm summering in the Hamptons like a fancy pants person, what to do? Vitamin A makes skin super-sensitive to sun but I don't want to go without for a couple months. Then I stumbled upon an interview with skin expert Susan Perry on a Website for single women (http://singlemindedwomen.com). Perry is based in San Francisco and recommends switching to Vitamin C-based products in summer. Vitamin C helps prevent wrinkles and offers sun protection, according to Perry. I have an entire jar of Trish McEvoy's Vitamin-C cream (buy it online) that I plan to use this summer, but she recommends the pricier SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic (shop for prices online). It's still cheaper than your average Renova prescription here in the States.

The sale runs from 9am Tuesday 7th July until close of business on Friday 17th July. There are huge discounts on around 200 wines from the 'everyday' up to fine Bordeaux and Burgundy. 'In the second week of our Summer Sale, from Monday 13th to Friday 17th we will also be running a 'Fine Wine Price Drop Sale' on a separate list of wines.This will involve rounding up a bevy of old bottles and random cases of posh wine on the Monday and slashing the prices. We will then cut the prices even further on the Wednesday on whatever wines are still unsold - and then do it again on the Friday to try and clear everything. All the wines will be offered on a strict 'when it's gone, it's gone' basis. We ca promise a lot of very good wines at very low prices. Customers should check the website re

Fresh melons complement summer meals and snacks, yet melons of any size can intimidate children, or be bypassed by teens and family members looking for finger food or a quick snack, said Sandy Procter, Kansas State University Research and Extension nutrition specialist.
