Have you had a chance to hit up the beach yet? We have and it was AMAZING! Know what made it so? Warm weather, the bestest of pals and a whole lotta’ lathering which ensured that we all came home with delicious golden tans and not a burn mark in sight. Thanks Hawaiian Tropic!

In honour of National Sun Awareness week, here are 4 skin protection tips from our favourite sun care brand:

1.     Protect your skin on a DAILY basis
Remember, UV rays build up over time to damage your skin. We suggest being super mindful about sun protection by making it a part of your morning. Apply after breakfast or just before you put on your make-up – make it a part of your daily routine!
 
2.     Don’t skimp on the good stuff
Here’s a fun tip: use a teaspoon-equivelant of sunscreen on your face, and a tablespoon for each of your arms and legs. Your bod might require a  little more if you’re wearing one of ‘em crop tops.  For max protection, apply at least 15 minutes before heading outdoors.
 
3.     Don’t forget to reapply
At least once every 2 hours or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, if you’re working out outside.
 
4.     Timing is everything
The Sun is strongest between 10am – 2pm, so be sure to limit exposure during these hours and be extra careful with your sun care!
