During the Summer we tend to think more about how to protect our skin from the sun. Here are some simple and easy things to remember about protecting our skin. Remember, though, that even in colder months you still need to wear SPF if you are going to be out in the sun. Seriously, I have had a major sunburn before on my face because I didn't think to put on SPF when I was going to be outside all day in the beginning of March. It was still cold outside, I was wearing a sweater, and I still ended up sunburned because I forgot the SPF. I have learned my lesson!

STEP 1 // Hat Be stylish and protect your face and eyes from the sun.

STEP 2 // SPF Lip Balm Most people tend to forget about their lips when it comes to SPF, so pick up a lip balm with SPF in it. Easy and simple right?

STEP 3 // Sunscreen You need to decide what brand of sunscreen is right for you. Make sure you choose the right SPF level and protect against UVA and UVB rays. Also, make sure you put sunscreen on places that people to tend to forget like your ears and if you are going to be barefoot you should get your feet. Remember to reapply if you out for very long!

STEP 4 // Sunscreen for Face The skin on your face is more delicate than the rest of your body. Regular sunscreen could irritate your face, so pick up a body of it specifically for your face.

STEP 5 // Water Staying hydrated is always good for your skin and good for you when you are going to be out in the heat.

STEP 6 // Umbrella When going to the beach, pack a beach umbrella with you. This will block direct rays from the sun. You still need to put on sunscreen though because the sun will bounce off the sand and still burn you if you go without it.
