Your skin remembers every sunburn, skipped SPF day, and dehydrated beach afternoon. Small daily habits like sunscreen, hydration, protective clothing, and regular skin checks add up to healthier, stronger skin long-term. Southeastern Skin Cancer and Dermatology gives tips to help you maintain your glow, prevent premature aging, and reduce future skin damage risk while enjoying the summer sun!
1. SPF every. single. day.
Even when it’s cloudy. Even when you’re “just driving around.” Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and reapply every 2 hours when outdoors. (What we recommend: EltaMD)
2. Don’t forget your lips!
Sunburned lips? Sounds like the worst. (What we recommend: Colorescience Peptide Lip Shine SPF 30)
3. Hydrate like your glow depends on it, because it does.
Heat + sun exposure can dehydrate your skin FAST. Drink water and use lightweight hydrating skincare to keep your barrier healthy. (What we recommend: Skin Better Science Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment)
4. Wear the cute hat!
Wide-brim hats, sunglasses, and UPF clothing are doing more for your skin than expensive correction treatments later. Prevention > regret.
5. Get your skin checked
New mole? Spot changing color? Something that won’t heal? Don’t ignore it. Annual skin checks are one of the best things you can do for your health.
