Make Up Games – Getting Enough Sun Protection


When you play outside over the summer you need lots of protection from the sun. And the only way to get that kind of protection is to actively plan to prevent the sun’s rays from touching your skin or by blocking them when they get there.

A Hat
Your best choice to block most f the sun’s rays from your face is a hat. Get a ballcap, a cowgirl hat, a fedora, a sombrero or whatever else you’d like to wear with your outfit that day to block the sun from every reaching your face. The better job you do with a hat when you’re outside, the less you have to worry about other kinds of protection, although they are certainly still important.

Moisturizer with Sunscreen
If you don’t want to wear a sunscreen by itself, you can sneak one in by using a high quality moisturizer that also contains sunscreen. The higher SPF you can get in your moisturizer the better off you’ll be. Look for at least 30 if you’re going to be doing more than walking across the mall parking lot.

Lip Protection
Your lips are some of the most sensitive skin on your body and they can be hurt in the sun’s rays. Use a special stick of SPF lipstick, gloss or chapstick to keep them moisturized and out of danger.
