Now that I’m older (and at least somewhat wiser), I know better than to let my skin be damaged. I take my skin health much more seriously, so I’m sharing the 5 things I wish I had known about a healthy summer skin care routine when I was in my 20s.
1. Use Sunscreen Every Day
In my teens and 20s I didn’t use sunscreen at all. I used oil (what was I thinking?!). Now, I apply sunscreen every day. I shoot for an SPF 30 or higher, to ensure I get the protection I need. I also apply it to my neck and chest to make sure I’m protected.
2. Wear a Floppy Hat
3. Use Sunless Tanner Instead
4. Wear a Rash Guard at the Beach or Pool
They’ve come a long way in sun protection. When I head to the beach or pool, I wear a long-sleeve rash guard. It protects my chest, arms, back and shoulders from the sun and I don’t have to worry about adding sunscreen to those spots since my rash guard has SPF 50. I still wear sunscreen on my face and legs, but at least I feel confident I won’t end up with a burn on the rest of my upper body.
5. Invest in Quality Eyewear
If you don’t wear sunglasses year-round, but especially in the summer, you need to start. In Arizona, I can’t go a day without my sunglasses. I invest in quality glasses that block out 100% of UV rays and also block HEV rays. Make sure you check out the glasses protection before investing in them.
These 5 tips are just some of the things I do for my summer skin care routine. I’m ultra vigilant to keep my skin healthy in my 30s since I did such a poor job when I was younger. I’ve learned the error of my ways and I try the best I can to keep my skin young, glowing and healthy. I hope these tips help you think deeper about your own summer skin care routine.

Such great tips, Stacey. I'm like you and was a sun goddess in college. Loving the glow the Jergens Natural Glow Wet Skin gives...you look fabulous! #client
Great tips! I couldn't agree more on the sunscreen. I apply like every 25mins when I'm in the sun & I'll wear up to SPF 70 if I'm going to be out for more than an hr!
