Before you head out that door to start your day, check your bag to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything. Wallet? Keys? What about skincare must-haves? Consider these daily necessities:
Sunscreen
We can’t say it enough—applying sunscreen every day is very important. Always use products with SPF 15 or higher. Because so many facial products include SPF now, it’s easy to remember (or not remember) to apply it there. But what about the rest of our body? Using a sunscreen spray is a quick way to not only make sure the rest of your body is covered, but also get you out the door!
Lip Balm
Like your skin, your kissers need love, too, in order to stay plump and luscious! Pop your favorite moisturizing lip balm into your pocket or purse so that you’ll be ready for anything. From flavored or medicated to tinted or glossy—there’s a lot to choose from. Our favorite? Anything with SPF protection.
Hand Salve
Throughout the day, moisture is wicked away from your skin. Having hand salve ‘handy’ can keep your skin retain its natural moisture. Using hand salve is a fantastic way to make sure they stay soft and supple regardless of what you get into throughout the day.
Water
Up to 60 percent of your body contains water, and your body needs water in order to properly function. Grab a water bottle to stay hydrated all day. Replenishing your body’s water supply will keep your skin plump and glowing.
Sunglasses
Amp up your level of style and sun protection with a cool pair of shades with UV protection. Your eyes are delicate and need to be protected from the sun’s harmful rays, too. With so many styles and colors to choose from, you can switch your shades up to whatever fits your unique style.
Pack your purse with these essential items or keep them in your car to always be ready for a day in the sun. Sun protection is critical in making sure your skin stays healthy and cancer-free.
