Simple Summer Skin Care Solutions

So, summer is in full swing and, if you're like me, you're out enjoying the warm weather and beautiful rays! While at play, no matter what you're doing, it's absolutely important that you protect your skin from the sun's rays to prevent damage, burning, and even skin cancer later on. The good news is that you don;t have to stop the party to keep your skin safe! I'm going to share some of my favorite summer skin protection tips with you here - make sure to include them in your fun this season!

Sunscreen


Sunscreen allows you to get out in the sun without letting it get to your skin. Applying a SPF 30+ sun block at least 20 minute before heading out for the day, and every 60-90 minutes during the day, is the best way to stay safe. Choose a light, natural, and waterproof sunscreen for best results. Whether you're heading out for a day on the town, an afternoon at the pool, or sports on the beach - sunscreen is the most important part of your sun-safe arsenal. You can now find spray-on styles and moisturizers and make-up elements with built in sunscreen.


Clothing


Dressing light is always the summer style, but don't hesitate to include long sleeves, pants, or longer skirts in your wardrobe this season. Light, colorful fabrics keep you cool while making sure that harmful UV rays never make it to your sensitive skin!


Accessories

Hats are a fun and stylish way to create shade anywhere you go! Wide brim hats are in style this year, and if you happen to be crafty, you'll love decorating your own hats with flowers, ribbons, and other embellishments. You'll also want to keep sunglasses on hand wherever you go to cut down on the squinting and protect your eyes.


Relaxing


Finally, one of the best ways to keep your skin safe from the sun is to take breaks in the shade. Find a tree, an awning, or a ledge to rest throughout the day and give your skin a chance to cool down and relax from the sunshine.


As you can see, it's easy to take great care of your skin this summer with these simple tips, so get out there and have a great time!
