    With summer finally just around the corner, we’re all desperate for a little sunshine, a lot of beach and major tan lines. As the sunny weather starts to roll in more permanently, it’s important not to get caught up in the excitement and the desire for a perfect tan and take care of our skin properly to prevent burns and damage. Although your trendy fedoras, mirror reflective sunglasses and sports team spirited baseball caps can play a part in helping to keep your skin safe and shaded from harsh UV rays, extra protection is always best.
    Suntan lotion gets a bad rap for all the wrong reasons. Contrary to popular belief, you can still get tan through your lotion. However, with the warmer weather bringing in intense rays, your skin needs that extra protection to keep from burning. Mustela, Europe’s leading baby skincare and stretch mark brand, has developed a line of sun products that are 100% mineral with naturally derived sunscreen filters Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide to ensure that delicate skin (baby or adult) is not irritated by chemical ingredients. Both the Mustela Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Lotion and Stick were awarded the Melanoma International Foundation’s Seal of Approval, ensuring they will protect both you and baby. Mustela’s products allow you to feel good about your skin, enjoy the sun and also feel protected from harsh UV rays that could result in burns and more damaging results as the warmer weather sticks around.
    Mustela has three perfect products available at a reasonable cost to protect you all summer long. You won’t be feeling any summertime sadness at the end of the season when you are left with beautifully tanned, healthy and undamaged skin. Mustela Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Lotion ($22.00) is a water and sweat resistant lotion that is perfect to slather on before heading out for the day. Mustela Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick ($16.00) is a pocket/purse size stick that is easy to carry around for touch-ups and/or use on smaller areas such as your nose, ears or lips to protect them from burning. The Mustela After Sun Hydrating Spray ($15.00) is the perfect revival product for your skin that was created to be used at the end of the day to instantly hydrate the skin following sun exposure with the help of Jojoba oil and Cupuacu butter. These products can be purchased at MustelaUSA.com.
     You only look as good as you feel and using Mustela products help to ensure you feel your best and are protected from the sun while you enjoy the pool, the beach and any other kind of outdoor activity without worrying about sun damage. Your trendy hat and sunglasses can serve as a fashionable accessory instead of your only form of protection.
