Creative Ways to Avoid Harmful Rays

It’s hard enough during those hot summer days to keep your skin from feeling greasy. Adding layer-upon-layer of goopy sunblock adds insult to injury.

If you’re planning on spending your summer under the sun but don’t want to compromise your skin’s health, consider some creative ways to cover up.

*Hark back to the 1960s by throwing on a silky scarf over your hair and big sunglasses. But beware: You may have beachgoers mistaking you for a celebrity.

*Luckily for porcelain skinned, fair fashion divas, big sunhats are back in style. These provide adequate sun protection for your face and neck, as well as your shoulders.

*Parasols and cute umbrellas are another effective means of sun protection. Plus they are really fun to twirl!

The truth is, a high SPF sunblock and adequate in-the-shade break time are the best ways to preserve your skin. There are dozens of sunblocks and sunscreens that are not super greasy that you can try in order to avoid that caked-on feeling. Spray-ons and products meant specifically for sensitive skin work best to keep your skin dry and protected.
