With the unofficial start to summer just a few weekends away, now is a great time to check out some of the best products for safeguarding your skin.

Keeping bugs at bay just got a little bit easier with this awesome alternative to traditional bug spray. OFF! is introducing a clip-on bug repellent so you don’t have to worry about coating the entire family in that smelly stuff. It lasts for about 12 hours at a time or two weeks from the time you open it. You can either clip it to your clothing or you can rest it on a tabletop to keep bugs away while the kids play.

 

Spray-on sunscreens are still the best way to protect against sun damage. My favorite brand is Target’s Up generic. You can get a two-pack for less than $10. They don’t clog or come out goopy like other brands and they seem to have the most consistent spray. Use sunscreen sticks for protecting little faces. I love Nuetrogena SPF 70 for everyday moisturizing for the face and neck. I also lather up with Lubriderm SPF 15 for hands, arms, and legs. Both of these go on light and are unscented but add an extra layer of protection.

Spray-on aloe vera and Benadryl can relieve most summer skin woes. Did you miss a spot on your shoulder and get a little baked at the beach? Did the mosquitoes join you on your hike and leave the proof behind on your calves? Spray-on versions of both aloe and Benadryl are amazingly easy ways to soothe injured skin without making a mess or irritating the skin with additional contact.
