GOOP & GO
Make applying sunscreen
before you walk out the door an effortless habit.
Keep a pump of Supergoop near the front
door. Not only is this SPF 30 sunscreen water-
resistant, nongreasy, and PABA-, oil-, and
alcohol-free, it’s supersized and comparable to
buying four bottles of typical sunscreen, $44.

SELF
TANNER
GET A GLOW
Fake a summer tan one of
two ways: Self tanners
deliver a sun-kissed tint
in hours, whereas glow
moisturizers gradually
deliver color over the
course of several days,
giving you time to build
up a natural-looking hue.
how do they work?
Both contain DHA (dihy-
droxyacetone), a sugar that
reacts w
ith the proteins in
your skin to produce that
coveted bronze color.

Are high SPFs really better?
“While they afford you somewhat better protection, high SPF
ratings may also give a false sense of security. Bottom line: You
aren’t getting SPF 70+ protection if you aren’t using the correct
amount of sunscreen. That means 1 ounce applied to the entire
body and reapplied every two hours.” -D r. Francesca Fusco
