Tip 1 Just because you sweat doesn’t mean your skin doesn’t need moisturising, in fact, it needs it during summer more than ever!

Tip 2 Exfoliating your skin will help remove old skin cells, giving you a natural glow. Next time you head to the beach, take a container of sand home with you and mix it with your shower gel or face wash to give your skin a gentle polish.

ALL ABOUT THE... Duck • Ducks make great pets! They are social animals so it's best to have more than one, otherwise they'll get lonely. If you do only have a single duck, you will need to give it lots of love and attention. • They're easy to care for and can live for up to 20 years. • Believe it or not, ducks don't actually need a pond to swim in, but they do need a water bowl deep enough so they can dip their heads in. So cute! • They stay clean by preening their feathers with their beaks. • Ducks are related to swans and geese. HELLO, JIFFPOM!

Hi Grace! Tell us about your two popular YouTube channels… “My two channels are Grace’s World and Grace’s Room. Grace’s World came first and is all about Barbie, her family and their daily adventures. I was six when that was created. I created it because I LOVED Barbie dolls at the time and would always watch them on YouTube, so I thought it would be cool to watch my own videos on YouTube, instead. They are fun for kids to watch and can sometimes be educational. However, Grace’s Room is all about... me! I really wanted another channel where I could do more personal and fun things like Q&As, vlogs, D.I.Y.s (especially slime), challenges with my brother James, reviews, unboxing, and lots of other cool things!” How do you come…
