5 Ways to Protect Your Face This Summer with Olay

As I’m sure you guys have noticed, I am absolutely obsessed with taking care of my skin.

I’m terrified of wrinkles, sun spots and skin cancer and I cringe at the thought of how poorly I took care of my skin in high school in college.

I mean, what was I thinking with those tanning beds?!? Thank the lord I finally learned.

Protecting my skin is important to me year-round, but it’s especially important to me during the summertime. Despite it being a thousand degrees outside in Texas, I keep finding myself outside in the sun. Whether I’m on vacation in Jamaica, hanging out by the pool, playing tennis or taking Bentley for a walk, I’m in the sun and that summer sun doesn’t play around ya’ll.

And while of course, I wear sunscreen on my body when in a swimsuit and have now opted for spray tans over tanning beds to help achieve that perfect summertime glow, when it comes to protecting my face, I make sure to take special precautions every single day.

Which is why I have partnered with Olay today to share with you all Five Ways to Protect Your Face This Summer.

Five Ways to Protect Your Face This Summer with Olay

Sit in the shade: This is first on the list because it’s by far the easiest thing you can do! Instead of sitting directly in the sun, find a place that has some shade. Not only will you be protecting your skin, but it will also be a lot cooler in the shade as opposed to sitting in the sun.

Wear a hat: If I’m golfing with Colton or playing tennis, you can guarantee that I’m wearing a cap and if I’m out by the pool, you’ll almost always find me with a floppy hat. Hats keep the direct sun off your face and give you extra protection when shade is not an option.

Wear a daily moisturizer w/ SPF: This one is a definite must! While sitting in the shade or wearing a hat is great, if you’re out and about or in the water, a hat won’t protect your face from the reflection of the sun. I highly recommend the Olay Total Effect Whip with SPF 25. This moisturizer is my favorite because not only is it protecting my face from the sun, but it’s also really lightweight, so it goes on perfectly under my makeup!

Wear sunglasses: People forget, but your eyes and the skin around your eyes are super sensitive. Wearing glasses are the best way to protect them from those harmful rays!

Reapply, Reapply, Reapply: Especially if you are on vacation, at the pool or in any situation where you are in the sun for long periods of time or where you may be getting wet! Even I forget to reapply, but boy does it show when I go inside and my face and chest are as red as a tomato. Applying SPF in the morning isn’t enough, experts say you should be reapplying every few hours. I just throw my Olay Total Effect Whip in my beach bag along with the rest of my sunscreen to make reapplying as easy as possible.
