Bucket Hat, Eyes, Lips, Face

With long weekends taking us into the summer, I have a checklist that includes 4 basic essentials that I have ready to go before heading out. You’ll need a hat, preferably a bucket, because I know that even with a good snapback cap, sun spots do find their way around the sides of the face. You’d be absurd if you walked out of the house without a pair of sunnies. Next is not the most obvious, but we do tend to forget that our lips can get sunburned as well. Steer clear of burnt, chapped lips and face. Lastly, do not leave the house without wearing a healthy dose of SPF. I’m not trying to be your mother, just someone who generally cares.
