As the days are longer, the weather becomes fairer, and our clothes turn out lighter, we begin to expose our skin to more potentially damaging UV rays and other environmental toxins. Besides a good daily skin care regimen consisting of a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and exfoliator, the extra doses of sunlight that we receive during the summer requires that we add products with a high level of SPF (Sun Protection Factor). There are varying levels of SPF available from 15 up to 45. Even though sunscreen is the most widely used summer item, just about any skincare product can offer additional sun protection, which is an added bonus all year round.
Here are some amazing skincare products that are guaranteed to keep skin healthy, glowing, and free of burns all summer long.
Best Skin Care Must-Have #4: Cleanser 
Summer Choice: Freeze 24/7-Ice Shield Facial Cleanser with Sunscreen SPF 15-$48
This refreshing facial cleanser is the first of its kind, offering UVA and UVB ray protection while ridding skin of dirt, oil, and impurities. While this product is great for normal, combination, and dry skin, oily skin types should stick to lathering, foaming washes that help diminish excess oil.
Best Skin Care Must-Have #3: Moisturizer 
Summer Choice: Peter Thomas Roth Max All Day Moisturize Defense Lotion with SPF 30-$18
The perfect moisturizer, such as this fashionista favorite, is lightweight and contains UVA/UVB protection, as well as a high level of SPF that protects skin from the sun’s harsh rays. This moisturizer hydrates all skin types, is oil and fragrance free, plus it won’t clog pores!
Best Skin Care Must-Have #2: Aloe Vera 
Summer Choice: Ligne St. Barth Aloe Vera Gel with Mint-$34
Aloe vera is the best remedy to heal scorched skin after a long day at the beach. Slather this refreshing gel on the face or body for that extra dose of nourishment and a cooling relief.
Best Skin Care Must-Have #1: Lip Balm 
Summer Choice: B. Kamins Lip Balm with SPF 20-$19
This clear balm goes on smooth and leaves lips glossy with added sun protection. The ideal lip balm, such as this one, can be worn alone or over your favorite lipstick without wearing off in minutes. Lip balm is also an easy way to keep lips moisturized, protected from harsh UVA/UVB rays, and free of blisters.
