Amp up your sun protection We know you're wearing sunscreen every day (right?) but it's important to choose one that won't leave skin looking slick. "While sunscreen is important for skin health at any time of year (yes, even on cloudy days too), we tend to spend more time outdoors during the summer making it even more important to make sure your skin is protected," says Schlessinger. His go-to sunscreen for summer is EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46, $33, because it's lightweight, non-comedogenic and provides great broad-spectrum protection with zinc oxide and octinoxate. Plus, it's formulated so it won't exacerbate acne or blemishes — in fact, it contains 5 percent high purity niacinamide to help clear breakouts.
If you want extra sun protection for peak summer months, Schlessinger recommends adding Heliocare dietary supplements, $30.50, to your routine. "They supplement (but don't replace) your sunscreen with a potent antioxidant that helps support the skin's immune response to the sun, providing about an SPF of 4-6 on top of your normal sunscreen protection," he says.
