We all know how bad tanning is for our skin, but sometimes, there's just nothing better than laying under the beating sun on a seemingly endless summer day. Though the rays temporarily give us that beautiful bronze glow that we crave, they also leave us with damage in the form of sun spots, freckles, and wrinkles. After years of lifeguarding and sunbathing without adequate protection from the sun, I've learned to adopt a daily regime as an attempt to ward off future damage. Here are some of my fave products -

Moisturizer with SPF

After washing my face in the morning, I follow with a daytime moisturizer with SPF. Some of my current favorites include La Roche Posay Face Moisturizer with SPF 30 and Josh Rosebrook Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30.

Tinted Moisturizer with SPF

On top of that, I use NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30. I love how it provides me with light coverage, while further moisturizing my face and protecting me from the sun. It’s the best first step in my everyday makeup routine.

EltaMD Tinted SPF 44 is another great choice that lives up to the hype.

Sunscreen

If I am laying in the sun for an extended period of time, I lather Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen on my face. I put Alba Botanica Sunscreen or Babo Botanicals Clear Zinc Sunscreen on my body. I also love Sun Bum SPF 50 Clear Zinc.

Lip Balm with Sunscreen

Shaka Laka Lip Balm with SPF 15 tastes delicious and works amazing.

Post Sun Serum

Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Oil is ultra-enriching and feels lovely after the sun.
