Keep your skin healthy (and looking so young!) with these sun-safety tips and affordable buys

1. Skin-Protection Pointers
Fact: The sun's rays penetrate windshields, clouds and windows. To safeguard your skin, double or triple up on products with sun protection. "You can never apply too much SPF," says Ava Shamban, MD, a Los Angeles dermatologist. Give your daily routine a sun-shielding boost with these picks.

2. Everyday Essentials
Even out your complexion with a product that shelters your skin.

TINTED LIP BALM

Swipe on a hint of color—and extra protection—with a hydrating balm.

TRANSLUCENT POWDER WITH SUNSCREEN

A light dusting combats shiny skin throughout the day and blocks the sun.

3. Sun 411
Ready to enjoy the great outdoors? Your skin needs some extra protection—especially between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M., when the sun is strongest. "Even if you're under an umbrella or hat, UV rays can still reach you by reflecting off water, sand or rocks," says Dr. Shamban. Target specific areas with SPF-packed products.

4. Fun-in-the-Sun Musts
Slather on an ounce (about the size of a shot glass) of sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher from face to feet at least 30 minutes before heading outdoors.

LIP BALM

Use a sport balm that's formulated to have staying power.

STICK

Spot-treat the places you always seem to forget: tops of ears, tip of nose, cheeks, even feet.

SPRAY

The rule: Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or after taking a dip. A spray with SPF 30 or higher makes application easier—just spritz and rub in.

KNOW WHEN TO REAPPLY

Create a 2-hour playlist. When the tunes end, it's time to apply your SPF again.

5. Product Picks
"Your skin doesn't end at your hairline—your scalp and hair need TLC, too," says celebrity hairstylist Colin Lively. Beyond covering up with a scarf or hat, consider these next fast fixes.

6. Shield Your Head
The sun can make haircolor fade or become brassy. Prep hair with a UV filter spray.

SCALP AND HAIR MASK

Once a week, treat your scalp and hair to deep conditioning to replace lost moisture and repair fried strands.

ANTIFRIZZ SERUM

UV rays, salt and chlorinated water dry out hair and cause frizz. Apply serum when hair is wet to seal the cuticle and prevent damage.

TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Keratin Infusing Serum $5.69; Amazon.com

PREVENT SCALP BURN

Spritz a clear SPF spray along your part, and reapply as you put more on your body.
