Sunscreen is the ultimate beauty must-have for any season. Whether you’re taking a walk around the block, sitting on your front porch drinking your morning coffee, getting ready for a day out on the boat, or preparing for any outing… sunscreen should always be the first step in your beauty routine. Even during the age of social-distancing when your “normal” summer activities might be on pause, suncreen should still be step #1!
Australian Gold has a collection of tinted face sunscreen that not only keeps your skin safe but also doubles as a primer or light foundation. It isn’t greasy and smells amazing, this is a staple for me EVERY morning, even if I don’t plan on going outside at all that day. It’s lightweight so it won’t clog your pores and it’s great on sensitive skin.
During the summer months, my family spends nearly all of our time on the beach or lake and I feel like there is a common misconception that sunscreen is only essential when it’s bright and sunny out… but, in reality, SPF is a must for every single day. Not only to prevent skin cancer and exposure to harmful UV rays but also to protect the youthful tone and appearance of your skin. This summer might be a little different but you can be sure I will be protecting my family’s skin even if we are just lounging in our backyard!
Keeping youthful-looking skin free of dark spots is a huge priority for me, and protecting Bo at an early age from sun damage is so important. It’s a great habit to get the kids into so they will be proactive about sun protection from the start. I love using spray sunscreen on Bo because, as you parents out there probably know, it’s often tricky to get a toddler to stand still for lotion applications. I love how evenly all of their sprays mist!
When I’m actively in the sun (or even simply planting some flowers in the yard) I love using an SPF with bronzer to give me a glow while I’m tanning… and this one from Australian Gold is perfect for getting a great tan while still protecting your skin. It keeps my skin super hydrated and smells like vanilla. I use SPF 15 but if you’re looking for a little more protection it also comes in SPF 30 in spray and lotion form! (If we are doing back to back boat/beach days I will up my SPF from 15 to 30!) It gives you that perfect golden glow without looking streaky or orange and lasts all day!
I’m so glad the weather here is cooperating with the seasons and I’m so looking forward to all of the beach days to come… whenever that may be! What’s your favorite warm-weather activity for quarantine life and what’s one outdoor activity you cannot wait to resume? Comment below and let me know!
