03 Feb My Top 5 Sun Care Products to look after your skin this summer

I believe the first step to taking care of your skin is to start by protecting it from the sun. Although it is important to spend time in the sun to ensure our bodies get enough Vitamin D, it is also crucial we protect our skin from the sun too. Regular or excessive exposure to the sun will accelerate the aging process of our skin, it will also increase the risk of skin cancer, moles and sunspots. Sure laying on the beach soaking up the sun’s rays feels good and look good, its only short term. Exposure to the sun causes most of the wrinkles on the face. If we protect our skin from the sun we can actually slow down the aging process allowing our skin to look at least ten years younger to someone who doesn’t protect his or her skin.

Swap your suntan for a self-tan. You’ll thank me later.

As someone who has been protected from the sun all my life from having pale skin, I have tried and tested the best sunscreens and tinted moisturizes.

Skin Juice: Sun Juice Tinted & Non-Tinted $49

I love both of these especially the tinted sunscreen as it contains both warm and cool minerals allowing it to adjust to most skin tones. What I love about this product is that it contains all natural superfood ingredients and is free of irritating chemicals that are found in most sunscreens. If you have oily skin it won’t break out, this product has an anti-acne Totoral extract. It will also help to soften your skin from the essential fatty acids from Kiwi Fruit and Avocado. It will also defend the skin against the suns aging Forces.

L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime CC Skin Tone Perfecting Cream $42

Having recently just discovered this product I am amazed. I have never been one for CC creams but I’m obsessed with this one. Lately I have just been wearing this product on it’s own as its coverage is buildable allowing you to have a light to medium coverage. During summer it’s nice to not wear anything heavy on your face and this feels very light and hydrating. This product is more make up based but has SPF 20 in it ensuring your skin is protected from the sun. It will also even and correct your skin tone visibly improving your skins quality and texture.

Nivea Ultra Beach Protect Sunscreen Spray SPF50+

For an all over sunscreen you can’t go wrong with Nivea. This sunscreen contains Vitamin E to nourish and relieve the skin from feeling tight and dry from the sun and water plus it offers a very high SPF protection to defend your skin from sun damage.

Neutrogena Wet Skin Sun Spray SPF30+/ Ultra Sheer Clear Face Lotion SPF30

The Neutrogena Wet Skin Spray is perfect for the beach or pool allowing you to spray to directly wet skin as this product has been specifically developed with water repellent technology cutting through water but still giving your full protection from UV rays. I love this sunscreen, as it’s lightweight, breathable and oil free something I always look for in a sunscreen.

The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Clear Face is another product perfect to use on your face. It has a high protection of SPF30 and is oil-free preventing skin to breakout. This product is very lightweight leaving your skin free of that heavy greasy feeling that a lot of other sunscreens have. Another great thing I love is that it has a non-shiny finish allowing your skin to breathe.
