So it’s summertime and many people are heading to the beach. Before you get overly excited with the sun and fun, don’t forget to equip yourself with the right skin care before you start working on that tan. How about some natural sunscreen and eco sunglasses to get you started for a healthier summer?

Some people make the mistake of staying under the hot sun for hours with any protection. I hope you are not one of them. Skin cancer is common and I’m one who believes that prevention is better than cure. As much as the sun does provide us the necessary Vitamin D for the formation of healthier bones, we need to protect our face and body from the harmful rays too. Moderation is key for all things. A natural sunscreen is not expensive and you should use it both for your face and any areas exposed to the sun. Too much of the sun will cause premature aging, brown spots and freckles – something we women dread!

Ladies have the alternative to use mineral makeup is they still some makeup for their face while under the sun. Mineral makeup contains natural sunscreen which helps to offer a certain level of protection. Personally, I would still use a sunscreen with a mineral makeup pressed or loose powder. The fact that our skin perspire more in summer with heat and humidity, mineral makeup helps to prevent the clogging of pores too. Did I mention they are natural and eco friendly too!
