Steps to Protect Your Skin when Packing for a Warm Weather Trip!

Packing for a warm weather weekend vacation sounds easy but for me it is always a struggle! I am an over packer since I love to have multiple options and be prepared for colder weather ((I always find myself over packing in the sweatpant & tee-shirt department). One thing I do take very seriously on vacation is my skincare routine.

For my most recent trip I wanted to make sure I packed enough sunscreen and moisturizer to last the entire weekend.  My skin is one that tans very easily but I still want to protect it from any long term sun damage.

I start each morning applying Neutrogena face, oil free, sunscreen and then apply a sports spray sunscreen to the rest of my body.  I pack a hat and sunglasses as well as a long sleeve white shirt to wear if I start to burn. My secret weapon that I bring with me on every warm weather vacation is lip sunscreen in two forms – the first a chap stick and the second is in zinc.  My lips use to always burn on vacation but now that I apply zinc when I get to the sun they are completely protected

Lastly I need to stay hydrated by ordering a fresh coconut or by drinking a lot of water when spending the day outside!
