Fridays At 5:00: Top 5 Finds To Help Protect You From The Sun This Summer

Every Day SunScreen

We all know that as we get older, it is important to apply sunscreen every! That protection from the sun will help to prevent dark spots and wrinkles! With that in mind, I have been searching high and low for a really good everyday sunscreen that doesn’t ‘feel’ like sunscreen when I put it on. Ladies, I think I have finally found it! I am so excited to share this ‘new to me’ product called Unseen Sunscreen! This SPF 40 sunscreen is totally invisible, weightless, and scentless. It literally leaves a velvety finish on your skin (feels like you are putting on a primer)! And … the best part … the ingredients rate a 4 on the “Think Dirty” app. (You can read all about my thoughts on clean beauty products AND the “THINK DIRTY” APP here.). In their description, they actually have a list of BANNED ingredients that you will never see in their products – you can see that list here. I do not use/wear many products on my face, but I am so excited that I have found this amazing brand, Supergoop!

Sun Hats

I love a good hat and during a recent rip to Target I found two that I just had to take home with me. I have found that throwing on a nice large hat to (whether I am at the beach or working outside in the yard) is a great way to sheild my skin from the sun! And with these cuties, I can do just that – in style!

Sun Glasses

I am admitting a big “truth” right here … I lose my sunglasses …OFTEN! I go through a few pair every summer. I am not proud of this fact, but I feel like I might not be the only one out there! Because I am a self-proclaimed ‘hot mess’ when it comes to glasses, I choose to buy only the cheap ones. You know, the sunglasses that you can snag for under $20 bucks! I usually pick them up here or here, but I recently ordered these from Amazon! Y’all, they had the word ‘VINTAGE’ in the description so I just had to do it! And, since they are less than $12 – it won’t be the end of the world if I do lose them!

Sun Screen For The Kids

As you know, I choose to use clean products for our family when I can. For the last several years we have been using clean sunscreen options that offer great protection but that also have ingredients that I feel good about. Today, I am sharing a brand that we use and love!

Cover Ups

Here’s the deal! I love to wear Kimonos, especially when we are going to the pool or to the beach. I feel like they are a stylish way to ‘cover up’ and they also give your shoulders and back a little extra protection against the harsh sun. I have a few that I love and I have had them for years so I can not link them – but I am sharing some of my favorites from around the web below!

P.S.

I want to remind everyone that although the sun can cause damage to your skin in large doses, sunshine does provide many health benefits. You can read all about them here. With the right protection, being outside is one of life’s greatest joys! Cheers to enjoying mother nature!
