You’ve worked so hard to make your skin nice for the summer it’s so great to be able to show it off! Just make sure while you are out enjoying those sunshine rays, you are protecting your skin! Sunglasses improve our outfit and protect your eyes!

Wear sunglasses

Sunglasses do more than enhance our outfits; they also protect our eyes from diseases inflicted from too much sun exposure. That said, not all sunglasses protect your peepers. Before you purchase new shades, make sure the label says, “UV absorption up to 400nm” or “Meets ANSI UV requirements” because that means they’re blocking at least 99% of rays.

SRC: How To Protect YourSkinFrom The Summer Sun

You’ve worked so hard to make your skin nice for the summer it’s so great to be able to show it off! Just make sure while you are out enjoying those sunshine rays, you are protecting your skin! Clothing is, in fact, your best sunscreen; a physical barrier from the sun will protect your skin the best.

Cover up

Not all clothing is created equal when it comes to protecting your skin. Tightly-woven fabric will protect much better than loose fabric, as will darker colors. But if you really want to protect yourself to the best of your ability, then wearing clothes with built-in UV protection, like a rash guard, is your best bet.

SRC: How To Protect YourSkinFrom The Summer Sun

You’ve worked so hard to make your skin nice for the summer it’s so great to be able to show it off! Just make sure while you are out enjoying those sunshine rays, you are protecting your skin! Sunscreen seems like it would be redundant advice but it’s still important.

Sunscreen

It’s no secret that sunscreen is one of your best defenses against UV rays, but it needs to be applied correctly in order to be effective. That means slathering it on your whole body 30 minutes before going outside, so your skin has time to absorb it, and reapplying it at least every two hours. SPF of 30 or above is ideal, and to ensure your skin’s protection, be sure not to go below SPF 15.

If you are looking for smooth healthy beautiful skin, the first place you need to start is your diet. Tangerines are packed with vitamin C and A, as well as beta-carotene! 

Like many citrus fruits, tangerines are packed with vitamin A and C as well as beta carotene which helps maintain your skin’s moisture and they may even help protect against type 2 diabetes. Why it works: The vitamins in tangerines, especially the vitamin C, helps improve the collagen in your skin to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, firm the skin and speed up your skin’s rebuilding process. “Vitamin C helps reduce the damage caused by the sun and pollution, too,” says Abbey Sharp, a dietitian in Toronto.

If you are looking for smooth healthy beautiful skin, the first place you need to start is your diet. Cucumber is a popular summertime ingredient for its refreshing taste and its vitamin C and antioxidants.

If you’ve ever layered cucumbers around your eyes to reduce puffiness, you can probably guess that there’s a reason why these antioxidant and vitamin C packed veggies should top each and every salad—or get sliced and dropped into a refreshing ice-cold glass of water. Why it works: The vitamin C in cucumbers, which are a nice addition to any garden, helps treat inflamed skin; the silica in the peel of the cucumber nourishes, hydrates and firms the skin, Diaz says.

This popular ingredient isn’t just great for cooking but it’s an excellent moisturizer, too, and has multiple uses for hair and nails. “You can consume it directly or use it as a cooking substitute for butter or vegetable oil,” says George Skandamis, a dermatologist in Columbus, Ohio. Why it works: Packed with antioxidants, coconut oil has even been found in studies to help improve the skin in those with atopic dermatitis. “Unlike most foods, it can also be used as a topical application directly on the skin to help moisturize,” Sharp says.

Why it works: Vitamin A aids in skin repair, while beta carotene strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, helping to moisturize and plump up skin cells.

Summer is here! Finally! While you’ve your fun adventures in the sun (and used sunscreen hopefully) you probably gained a gorgeous golden glow to your skin. But how can you make it last for as long as possible? Well, one thing you should always, always do keep hydrated!

Like always, hydrate.

Final piece of advice? You already know what we’re going to say. It’s the same thing we prescribe for all types of skin care: plenty of water.

“Keeping your body hydrated from the inside—not just using products—is one of the best ways to prepare for a tan, or extend one,” says Plotkin.

And those umbrella drinks are actually dehydrating, so do your tan favor and order a pacer at the beach bar. It will be worth it that first week back in the office.

Summer is here! Finally! While you’ve your fun adventures in the sun (and used sunscreen hopefully) you probably gained a gorgeous golden glow to your skin. But how can you make it last for as long as possible? Well, one thing you should always, always do is check the ingredients.

Check your spray tan ingredients.

A good spray tan is going to use a chemical agent to bring out pigment in your skin. But some solutions contain more alcohol than others, and alcohol dries you out.

“If your tan dries within one second of being sprayed on, then it probably has a lot of alcohol in it,” says Plotkin “which will make you exfoliate faster.”

Look for a salon or spray service that minimizes the alcohol content, and avoids irritants such as parabens. Even better, take a reco from a friend whose tan you admire.

And trust your senses. “If you smell a crazy chemical odor coming down the hallway in the tanning place,” says Plotkin, “that’s not good.”
