How to Stylishly Protect Your Face from the Sun

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen. As always, all opinions are my own.

Black and White beach hat, Oakleys and Sunscreen.

Have you ever been to the beach and found people completely covering their faces up as if they were going snow skiing in a blizzard? First of all, those face masks look ridiculous. Secondly, people might get the wrong impression and think you’re going to rob them or something.

Thankfully, you don’t need to look like a burglar on the beach this summer thanks to these practical and stylish tips for protecting your face from the sun

Get a Stylish Wide Brimmed Beach Hat

Aside from sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat is essential for protecting your face from the sun – plus, they’re super chic. If you are traveling, try looking for a packable beach hat so you can stuff it in your carry-on bag or checked baggage. One of my favorite hats is this black and white striped hat.

Sunglasses

I really try to keep my eyes out of the sun as much as possible. This is much safer for your eye health and it helps prevent aging and wrinkles. I personally like sunglasses with reflective lenses like the Oakley Feedback sunglasses.

When I’m not wearing my Feedback sunglasses, I go for a larger pair for even more coverage. Shown in the image up top are the Oakley Pampered sunglasses which are no longer available.

Get A Good Sunscreen for Faces

There are lots of sunscreen brands out there, so if you have a favorite brand, check to see if they carry a facial sunscreen of at least SPF 30. I really like the Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen for Face which actually comes in a 3 oz. carry-on size. This safe sunscreen doesn’t clog my pores and layers nicely under my makeup.

The Blue Lizard is a non-comedogenic, broad spectrum UVA/UVB, SPF 30+, skin protectant in a daily moisturizer which is enriched with antioxidants like vitamin E, caffeine and green tea. These ingredients rejuvenate the skin and reduce the signs of aging.

This sunscreen is a gel-like texture that glides on easily and is designed for all skin types. It is paraben-free, fragrance-free, oil-free and contains 8% zinc oxide. It dries quickly and doesn’t show up white like most facial sunscreen.

Something that is unique to the Blue Lizard brand is the fun color changing packaging. Depending on the sunscreen you have, the bottle or the cap will turn blue when exposed to the sun to remind you to use your sunscreen.

You also might like their sport sunscreen, baby sunscreen, regular sunscreen and sensitive skin sunscreens which can all be bought in smaller bottles or by the gallons.
