1. Sunblock, sunblock, sunblock.
You already knew it was coming, but it bears repeating: get yourself some sunblock. If you’re planning to use that tube you got last year, remember that sunblock expires, so check the date on your bottle. Generally, if it’s past two years old, its effectiveness may be weaker, and may even cause irritation on some people. When buying new sunblock, if you can’t find the exp date, use a sharpie to write when you bought it. Don’t forget to buy sunblock moisturizer for your face — they’re popping up at cosmetics counters everywhere this month!
2. Protect your precious face with vitamin C powder.
These little vials of orange dust are becoming more common in spas everywhere. (Vitamin C is also available in liquid form, but powder is more potent.) Mix in a small amount with your daily moisturizer to protect against everyday environmental (sun) attacks, as well as brighten and even out skin.
3. Take care of your hair.
For girls, you may want to start shaving (or preferred hair removal) your legs more often, bikini line, and so on. For guys, you may want to shave, wax, or whatever method your prefer for hair removal, to your stomach, chest and back. I know a lot of men do not agree with that, it is all in preference.
4. Get your body looking great.
Shorts, sandals, skirts, sarongs, tanks, dresses, bathing suits… with clothing that simply reveals more, it’s time for general maintenance on your body! Double check your feet for neat looking toes and clean skin. Break away from the cold-weather comfort food and reach for chilled veggies, and take advantage of in-season fruits! Maybe the hot summer weather will provide the perfect reason to try out a shorter haircut — we know the boys do it every year!
5. Update your iPod.
If there’s anything that preps you best for summer, it’ll be the jams you play for dancing, tanning, and driving…
