When the UV goes up, you don’t want to let your guard down against the sun. I know I definitely fall victim to the sun and occasionally letting my skin fry while I lay out. Burning can have long term effects on our skin and our health so it is essential to get a tan while protecting your skin!! Here’s your guide to what you need this summer in order to get a (safe) and luminous tan without damaging your skin.
Sunscreen & Moisturizers
It is obviously recommended that when spending time in the sun that you protect your skin and wear sunscreen and continue to reapply. There are so many different options that can benefit different skin types and different levels of susceptibility to burning. Moisturizing your skin after exposing it to the sun is just as important as applying sunscreen while you are in the sun! I’ve compiled a list of the best summer sunscreen and moisturizers.
- Nuria Defend Matte Finish Daily Moisturizer with All-Mineral SPF 30
- Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50
- Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Lotion Sunscreen
- Kiehl’s Better Sunscreen UV Serum SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen with Collagen Peptide
- Sun Bum After Sun Cool Down Gel
- Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut Body Butter
- Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Tanning Oils and Tanning Solutions
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could all just wake up with an effortless and even tan? Some people are lucky enough to be able to tan naturally with the help of oils and products (the ones listed all contain some SPF so they aren’t damaging) but others need the help of other products to achieve the summer glow. Don’t worry- options to provide both types of tan are listed below!!
- B.tan Glow Your Own Way Clear Self Tan Gel
- B. tan Gimme the Glow Down Rosewater Dark Facial Tan Mist (THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL!)
- Sun Bum SPF 15 Sunscreen Tanning Oil
- Hawaiian Tropic Island Tanning Oil (Protective Tanning)

Lip & Hair Care
We often forget about our lips and our hair when we go out into the sun because we are focused on our skin. Then we are rudely reminded when we have a scalding burn on our hairline or our lips get all chapped and burned. Let’s avoid that discomfort from the start and utilize SPF lip products and hair protective products!
- Bitchstix Tropical Coconut SPF 50 Lip Balm (Funds raised by this company go towards domestic violence survivors and awareness. A very worthy and important cause also LITB…)
- Sun Bum Sunscreen SPF 30 Lip Balm
- Sun Bum Scalp and Hair Mist SPF 30
- Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil
- Altar’d State Salty Trucker Hat
- Burt’s Bees Island Getaway SPF 30 Lip Balm
Eyes & Accessories
Finally we cannot forget about protecting our eyes and looking cute while we do it!! I absolutely love a fabulous pair of sunglasses and at a great price because I always end up losing them, breaking them, or forgetting about them until I realize they were in my bag all along! Here is a range of affordable to more high end sunglasses and beach bags to hold all of your sun products (and a good beach read)!
