As the end of summer is upon us, and Labor Day is quickly approaching, many will be spending time playing in the sun to soak up the last bits of the season. With that in mind, I thought it wise to do a dedicated post as a reminder to have ample sunscreen on hand, and to apply it frequently. Here are a few products worthy of your consideration:
KORRES Yoghurt Nourishing Fluid Veil SPF ($35.00 from Dermstore, b-glowing, b-glowing Amazon Store, Sephora and Skin Store): KORRES Skincare fans will fall in love with this sunscreen. It nourishes, hydrates and calms the skin while offering an SPF 30– therefore an additional sunscreen is not necessary for daily use.

Overall Assessment: Whichever sunscreens that we opt to use while celebrating the last days of summer, we need a gentle reminder that sunscreens must be applied with great frequency in order to remain effective. Many manufacturers suggest reapplication every 80 minutes, but I do it every 60 minutes to be on the safe side. I also do not sit in the direct sun for long periods of time, I make sure wear protective clothing, and I drink plenty of water. If you have ever experienced acute dehydration, or sun exhaustion, as I have, then you know that it is very important to remain vigilant, and to protect yourself against over-exposure. Happy Labor Day!
