It’s summer once again!! Surely many people are looking forward to spend this time of the year in beaches. As the sun intensifies, it is more important than ever to prepare your skin, lips and hair to endure these dangerous sunrays. Yeah it’s good to be tan for this season but still you need some extra precautions since Cebu beaches would surely give you a far-fetched experience you never had before.

Must-have items for your beach bag

1. Water resistant sunscreen
A water resistant sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher will help protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Sunscreens should be applied to dry skin at least 15 minutes before going outdoors and should be reapplied after swimming.

be sure to bring this when going to beach

2. Medicated lip balm with SPF
For lips, the best protection against sun damage is a water resistant lip balm that keeps the lips moist and has an SPF of 15 percent or higher.

3. Wide-brimmed hat
Choose a comfortable-fitting hat with extra covering that drapes down the back of your neck, and sit in the shade whenever possible.

4. Spray-on sunscreen for hair
Leave-on conditioners and sun sprays created for hair offer sun protection before, during and after outdoor exposure.

5. Cold sore/fever blister treatment
Since cold sores/fever blisters can be triggered by overexposure to the sun, it is important to keep topical medications on hand for unexpected breakouts.
