Summer Sun Protection Routine

Whether my weekend entails a much needed vacation time, spent sun-bathing on the French Riviera, or my everyday stroll soaking in the morning rays along the coast, the summer sun is always on my agenda.

The minute that the benefits of Vitamin D soothe my soul, I welcome Mother Nature’s gift with open, yet protected arms. Protected with a subtle, shimmering lotion that I ever so carefully massage into the skin. My body is left illuminated under the sun’s natural sparkle, yet concealed with SPF.

As much as I crave a sun-kissed glow—the one that leaves my cheeks rosy pink and creates the silhouette of freckles under my eyes—I prep for the sun’s love with a touch of anti UVA cream. The tinted texture allows for the desired color without leaving a mark of damage to my face.

I follow with a nurturing lip balm designed to shield my smile from the summer’s heat. As the product glides across my puckered lips, I sit back and admire the sun’s reflection while it hovers over the turquoise waves. A view I could never pass up.

My post-sun ritual continues even after the rays gracefully tap into my skin, as I apply a soothing After Sun cream. Enriched in chamomile, the rich formula hydrates with each touch, filling my mind with tranquility as I look forward to my future afternoons consumed in the sun’s medicine.
