Sun Safety
Wear SPF daily. Period. Regardless of sunny or cloudy skies, the sun still affects your skin when you're outdoors. Adding SPF to your skincare routine is important when you’re a sun worshipper. And even when you’re a sun avoider. Here's everything you need to know about sun protection!
SPF Products
Face
Always incorporate SPF into your skincare routine, before you apply your makeup. You can choose a moisturizer with SPF or try skincare that goes on a step before or after. Keeping your skin hydrated is key, whether you opt for a lightweight or a rich, creamy formula.
Lips
Sun exposure can take a toll on your lips, which are often overlooked. Defending lips from the sun is simple if you use lipsticks with SPF built in, or balms and glosses that glide smoothly over your existing lipstick. Choose shades that you love in an array of finishes, from sheer and matte to super glossy.
Makeup
Welcome to the future of sun protection! Makeup is relatively new to the family of SPF products with recent innovations and skincare-like benefits. Always apply traditional sunscreen first, then add extra protection with makeup that adds color for a complete look.
Body
Allover protection is the most important part of shielding your skin from sun exposure. Full coverage for your body prevents sunburn and resulting damage. Never skimp on the amount of product you use and always reapply at least every two hours. Once you've been in water, immediately reapply after you dry off with your towel.
Hair & Scalp
Even hair can take a beating from the sun, and there are products that specifically address haircare with built-in protection. Color-treated hair especially should be shielded from the sun to remain vibrant. Sprays are a great way of protecting your hair with complete coverage, including your scalp.
TIP: Limit exposure when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, around 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cover up with a hat, sunglasses, lightweight clothing and, of course, sunscreen!

Common Mistakes
After-Sun Care
Replenish and repair your skin after sun exposure with treatments that hydrate and sooth. After-sun care can prevent any skin irritation, redness and dryness. Sunburn can have a lasting effect on skin and treating your skin after being in the sun is beneficial.
