I thought I would share with you all my go to Spring time essentials. These are what I normally pick up on a daily basis. Most of these will be Summer essentials as well.
2. Jergen's natural glow and protect Daily Moisturizer in medium to tan skin tones.: I am using this to not only as a sunscreen, SPF 20, but also something to give me a base tan, so I don't burn if I do forget to put on sunscreen. I am only using this on my arms, I tried it on my legs, but my legs are so light, it made them look dirty. I am going to go get the light to medium and see if that will help.
3. Hawaiian Tropic silk hydration After Sun gel in Coconut Papaya: I raved last year about this all the time, and I still love it. I am unsure if it will be out again this year for I have not seen it, but I really do because I love this stuff. I put it on as a body lotion even if I have not been in the sun, but it also had a cooling effect if you have been in the sun. I do however do not recommend this if you have been sunburnt. For that you need to get pure aloe. TIP: do not put anything on a sunburn that has water as the first ingredient.
4. Banana Boat Sport Performance cool zone Sunscreen: It is SPF 30, and I bought this last year so I am unsure if it will be out again this season. But any sunscreen will do. I really like the spray ones since it easy to apply. Also it's a sports formula, which I recommend, and they tend to stay a bit longer.
5. Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Sunscreen: This one doesn't smell as great as the After sun gel, but it doesn't really smell like sunscreen either. This has a SPF of 30. I use this one for my face, but it is not meant for your face. I am surprise it did not break me out, but I used it several times last year and it did not. Like the other products I do not know if this product will be out this year.
6. Eye Drops: My eyes get really dry, and with everything blooming in the spring they get irritated as well. I keep eye drops with me everywhere I go. These are a generic brand that lubricates, redness reliever, and cools, refreshes, and soothes.
7. Lip Balm with an SPF: Nothing is worse than sunburnt lips. I typically wear Lip balm with an SPF all year. This one is from Chap Stick Active Sport Ready with an SPF of 30. It is also water resistence. I like to buy lip balms with higher SPFs. I typically buy a lip balm to keep in my pool bag with an SPF of 30. Some have only 4, and I don't think that actually helps. Sadly, while typing this the lip balm pictured was dropped in a bucket of mop water, so I will be trying to find another one. I found this one at Walgreens on clearance so I am unsure if they are still available. This did come in handy for it had a clip to clip it to your keys.
8. Sunglasses: I typically wear two types of glasses, either aviators or wayfairs, and usually they cost less than 10 bucks.
9. Hat: To protect your scalp from getting burnt. Last year my scalp got burnt, and you really cannot put aloe on your head or do they have sunscreen for your scalp.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
--Rue.
