How to Protect Your Skin from the Sun and Still Look Radiant

In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, I have compiled together some great eco-friendly and/or socially conscious products that will protect your beautiful face and body from the sun and give you a sun-kissed look.

1) BareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen – This easy to apply powder sunscreen can be used on your face and body. It is great for people that don’t like the greasy and heavy feeling of sunscreen. It also adds a boost of color and evens out the skin.

2) Warby Parker Polarized Thatcher Sunglasses in Whiskey Tortoise – These glasses are chic, practical, and can be ordered with or without a prescription. For every pair of sunglasses or glasses that you buy from this company, they will donate a pair to a person who can’t afford them.

3)  ORIGINAL Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 – I have used this foundation for years. It is very light weight, contains minimal ingredients, and keeps the shine away. 

4) Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate – Dr. Hauschka is my all time favorite brand for face and body skincare and make-up. Their products are biodynamic, eco-friendly, and truly work wonders. This translucent bronze concentrate will make your skin look positively radiant. You can also darken your foundation during your tanner months by mixing in a couple of drops until you get your desired shade.

5) Dr. Hauschka Bronzing Powder – I’m a huge fan of Dr. Hauschka’s blush and bronzing powders. The color lasts all day and imparts a very natural glow onto the skin.

6) Lavera Self Tanning Lotion – This is an effective non-streaking self tanner for the face and body. The award-winning formula is made with natural, organic, and eco-friendly ingredients. Make sure to exfoliate well before you apply this self tanner so that it absorbs evenly. I like making my own body scrub with organic jojoba oil, fine grain sea salt, and organic essential oils.
