I’ll go across the globe to chase the warm summer sun – literally. I’m not a huge fan of cold weather and when the Midwest is extra dreary, cold, and grey, you’ll find me making plans for a sunny escape to just about anywhere!
Like so many, I didn’t start taking good care of my skin until my early 20’s. As a teen my girlfriends and I would slather on baby oil, grab a cold drink, and spend the day by the pool without a care or wrinkle in sight! When I started to learn more about the dangers of UV rays I started implementing more sun protection products into my daily routine. Thankfully, for sun worshippers like me, there are so many quality products available that are designed to keep your skin healthy and protected from the harsh rays that are also easy to take with you wherever you go!
I’ve rounded up just a few of my favorite products that help keep my skin protected during any season – all over the world.
I Love...
Our skin is our largest organ. If we work hard to eat clean, exercise, and stay healthy but then cover our skin in harsh chemicals is it all for nothing? I feel good about packing Beautycounter’s Countersun Mineral Sunscreen in my beach bag because it works and it’s free of the nasty chemicals found in most drugstore brands. Bonus: this brand also carries a Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Mist that’s great for adding a healthy glow to your complexion.

So many foundations boast that they contain SPF… but I’ve gotta wonder – what else do they contain? I don’t have to question that with Colorescience. This beauty brand gives my skin a glow – and their pressed powder is unlike any I’ve ever worn. It’s free from parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, talcs, dyes, drying alcohols, mineral oils, chemical sunscreens, and it’s not tested on animals.

I love the medium to full coverage formulation because it gives me the coverage I need without looking too “done.” (I like my skin to look like skin!) It’s water resistant, has quality packaging, & can go anywhere I do. This formulation features SPF 20, which is a wonderful addition that helps keep my skin protected from sun damage while I am out and about!
I love that the San Diego Hat Company was born out of a love for world travel. After taking a trip to Bali, the founder crafted their Original Cotton Crochet Hat and they’ve been making the world more beautiful and shaded ever since! With their incredible selection, I never have to sacrifice my style for sun protection and peace of mind.
I love…
This is their best-selling visor and for good reason! I’ve got this visor in a couple of colors – one to match just about any swimsuit or sundress. It rolls up into a perfectly packable addition to your wardrobe so you can throw it in your beach bag, purse, or carry on. Bonus: It’s UPF 50 meaning it only allows 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation through, so not only is it a cute addition to my summer wardrobe – it’s healthy for my skin, too!
