Sun Bum

Moisturizing, especially in summer, is so important. Today I will share with you 4 of my favorite SPF products. First you need to remember a couple important tips. Pretty much everything should be protected. Anything from your ears to feet can get burned, even if you're not outdoors. You can get hit by rays in the car and through your windows even if it sounds unlikely. A fact many people don't know is that sunscreen can't be layered. If you put on face moisturizer and put on base with SPF they will cancel each other out, creating less SPF rather than double the amount. 

The first product is for your hair. It sounds odd to put SPF on your hair, but realistically it can be damaged from the sun. The one I use is from a local salon, Studio B B Protected, but Aveda and Fekkai have similar products. The Studio B spray is a detangler that keeps the color and life in your hair. It has a tropical smell that is perfect for summer with notes of coconut and beach air. 

The next two products are for your face. My favorite sun screen for the face is the L'Oreal Silky Sheer Face Lotion 50+. It's water resistant and oil free. The formula absorbs easily into the skin and leaves a dewy, but not greasy, finish. If you're not swimming and need light coverage my favorite would be the Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF 35. It is a creamy formula, but does not look cakey. The BB cream leaves a very dewy finish and can be powdered down. 

Lastly is SPF for your lips. The skin on your lips is very thin and requires special treatment. The Mary Kay Lip Protector Sunscreen has SPF 15. It smells more like sunscreen that lip balm and is not very moisturizing. Another option that is a basic chap stick is the Soft Lips Cube. Both of these help prevent painful sunburned lips. 

Hope you enjoyed some new sunscreen options and helpful tips!
