Summer Essentials

It’s finally starting to feel more like summer!?  Here are some of my absolute favorites that I’ve been using for a few years now.

Sunscreen:  I LOVE Coola and Supergoop! I use both in the summer, I put it on my kids too.  If I had to pick just one, I would probably go with this one, because it’s infused with vitamin C and it’s non-aerosol.  Both sunscreens are water resistant (up to 80 minutes?)

Ladies, this is the way to keep your hands looking forever young! I love this hand lotion, they have it in travel size too, so you can easily fit it in your handbag.

Let’s not forget about the lips! I keep this little gem in my bag year round.  As a dentist, I see a lot of patients who suffer from frequent cold sores.  I always recommend that they put sunscreen on their lips. For some people, sun exposure can trigger a cold sore outbreak. If you feel one coming on, take at least 500mg of Vitamin C immediately and then call your physician or your dentist to prescribe you an antiviral (like Acyclovir) to speed up the healing process. If you take it at the very beginning (when you first start to feel some tingling in your lip), you can actually prevent it from popping up!
