Tips For a Gorgeous, Sun-Kissed Glow
Summertime is here, and the sun’s rays are warming up pools, lakes, and beaches all around us.
Not only does the sun feel good on our skin, giving us that Vitamin D, but it can deliver something most people long for this time of year — a gorgeous, sun-kissed glow.
Still, we know that overexposure to the sun’s UV rays can cause serious damage to our skin, so how can we find a balance so that we’re able to enjoy the sun’s benefits without suffering from its damaging effects?
Here are a few tips for getting your glow on safely this summer:
For conventional sunscreen, your first application should be 30 minutes before sun exposure. Natural, mineral-based sunscreen, the lotion is effective right away. (Bonus for the natural option!) - Here are some of my favorites:
To stay protected, reapplication is key. Be sure to reapply that sunscreen every 2 hours while you are exposed to the sun.
Avoid peak sun (10 am-2 pm). If you decide to be in the sun during this time, take frequent breaks in the shade.
Wear a hat & also add a cute pair of sunglasses with 100% UV protection to protect your eyes too.
Hydrate, hidrate & hidrate.
