Sunscreen
While this may be the oldest tale in the book, sunscreen is a MUST during summer months. Having a few different sunscreens for face, body, and lips is essential for every skin type. It is never a bad idea to have a small travel size of sunscreen in your vehicle or your purse for those days that you forget your sunscreen before you head out of the house.

(Safe) Glowing Summer Tan
The desire to have the beautiful summer tan letting the world know that you have been out and about in the summer months is battle I think a lot of us battle. The largest hurdle is how to get the glowing gorgeous tan, while being safe and not exposing yourself to too many UV rays. I will admit I was a huge lover of tanning beds or as I like to lovely call them “my fake and bake” sessions, but can now get a beautiful and glowing tan without putting myself at risk. Make sure for any self-tanner shave at least two days before and use a great exfoliator a day before to get a perfect even tan, and you CANNOT forget your glove to help apply your self-tanner.
