Summer Beauty Essential Protection Hats, sunglasses

I consider skin protection like wearing a hat, blocking eyes with sunglasses and wearing sunscreen to be one of the biggest beauty essentials around. Wearing a hat and sunglasses protects your face from unwanted brown pigmentation and pre-mature fine lines and wrinkles. Really, physical skincare protection is one of the best beauty tips I can give you.

Summer Beauty Essentials Sunscreen

There are so many options for sunscreen protection. If you are concerened about ingredients in sunscreen, you can check out my go-to, non-toxic sunscreen that I use on my kids and myself. Also, check out my sunscreen info guide that tells you all about what sunscreens to get and how much you should be applying.

Summer Beauty Essentials Fake Tanner

I live in Austin, TX, so it’s almost impossible to not get tan even with loads on sunscreen and other skin protection. But, if you are wanting to bronze your skin, check out my favorite self tanners. Having a fake tan allows you to look bright and glowy without the sun damage and is definitely one of my favorite summer beauty essentials. My all time favorite self tanner is the St. Tropez and has been for a while. I love the forumula and how it applies so evenely and gives a golden tan.
