Today I'm gonna share my top summer essentials and must-haves with you guys.
Sunscreen: When I think of summer, the first thing that comes to mind is sunscreen. I think by now we all know the importance of wearing sunscreen with at least SPF 30 in order to protect ourselves from harmful UV rays. Just look for a sunscreen that is water-resistant/water-proof, non-greasy, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic. Re-apply it every 2-4 hours. I would also suggest chemical sunscreen for brown girlies so there is no white cast.
Sunglasses: Nothing like those sunshades during the summer months. You don't want your eyes to start burning due to the excess heat/temperature so it's always good to grab your sunglasses before you head out. Always remember, the larger the sunglasses, the more area around your eyes they will protect and that is always good. Don't be afraid to try large frames, they are in fact, quite chic.
In no particular order, these are what I consider a must during the summer months:

Floppy Hat: Oh yes, this is a must to protect your head from all that heat and UV rays.
Lip Balm with SPF: You need to protect your lips too and a lip balm with SPF is good to have. Even if it is low SPF it is still better than nothing.
Flip-flops: I wait for summers so I can bring out my colorful flip-flops.
Shorts: Some nice, breathable, and loose cotton shorts during summers are a must. Just make sure you are applying adequate sunscreen to your legs and feet as well.
So those are my picks. What about you guys, what are your summer essentials? let me know in the comments below, or leave a link to your blog post if you have it, I'd love to check it out.
