Hot (and Safe) Fun in the Summertime
You’ve gotten the perfect pedicure, highlighted your hair and waxed your bikini area, but no summer beauty regimen is complete without a safe way to stay beautiful while in the sun. Pharmacy and department store shelves are packed with products that offer sun protection.

Shopping Tips: Safe Sun Products
Look for makeup products that have an SPF of at least 15.
Broad spectrum sunscreens that protect you from both UVA and UVB rays should have an SPF of 30 or higher.
Layering products with sun protection does not mean you are doubling the SPF. Your protection factor is that of the product with the higher SPF.
Don’t forget your lips! Use a lip balm with sun protection such as Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15.
Expert Advice: Protect Your Hair
Before going into the surf or pool, saturate your hair with tap water to prevent chlorine and salt water penetration.
While in the sun, always apply a good heavy conditioner. Comb it all the way through the ends and leave it in for as long as your hair is exposed to the sun.
Wearing a hat is the best way to ensure your highlights are protected from the harsh rays.

Expert Advice: Perfect Summer Makeup
“Silicone-based makeup fills in fine lines and gives you a no-streaking, flawless look that stays put in warmer climates. I recommend Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation for a radiant complexion that lasts all day.”

Tip: Read the Ingredients
There is no way of rating a sunscreen’s ability to block UVA rays, so pay attention to the ingredients. Titanium dioxide, oxybenzone and zinc oxide provide the best protection.
