Taking care of skin requires a few extra steps during the warmer months. Try incorporating a few of these protective and healing products into your summer beauty regime for pre and post summer day exposure.

Hair – Yarok Feed Your Shine Hair Serum
Often, when we think about sun protection, we tend to forget that our hair also subject to the ravages of heat & sun. Yarok’s Feed Your Shine hair serum and heat protectant can be used year round, but its true abilities shine during the summer months when your hair is subjected to more kinds of heat than just your styling tools. It’s formulated with jojoba, olive, grapeseed, apricot and primrose oils, all of which bring gloss and life back to UV ravaged hair. Also, in addition to protecting your luscious locks, Yarok donates a portion of its proceeds every year to protect over 10 million acres of the Amazon Rainforest.
After
Face – CV Skin Labs Rescue & Relief Spray
As sometimes happens when you’re out on your wildest adventures, you forget to reapply (or apply in general) SPF and your skin hurts afterwards. Tight sunburned skin can really put a damper on your summer fun, but you don’t have to suffer in silence. Cooling CV Skin Labs Rescue & Relief Spray will soothe sensitive sunburns on even the most delicate skin. This water-thin spray contains heat-removing water lily, calming and cooling chamomile and cucumber and soothing valerian and comfrey to instantly relieve sun and wind burned skin. While great for the entire body, this is especially wonderful for your face and other very sensitive skin. Store in the fridge for maximum cooling.
Body – Skincando Combat Ready Balm
This multitasking skin salve, originally used by soldiers in the war zone, is a jack-of all trades. With formulas for adults, kids and babies, this can soothe even the worst of sun damaged skin. Use this salve anytime & anywhere to care, condition and protect your skin from further damage.
For a tan, sans sun…
If you’d rather not risk it, but still want that sun kissed glow, Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Self Tanner will give a natural look while nourishing your skin with botanical extracts including goji, acai, mangosteen and noni. Nourishing vitamin E and youth promoting antioxidants make this luxurious sunless tanning lotion a complete skin enriching experience. However, this is not a sunscreen, so if you still plan on catching some rays, be sure to still apply an SPF to protect your skin.
Not get out there and soak up some sun, albeit in a moderated manner slathered in protective, healing goodness!
