Summer days are filled with fun quality time with family and enjoying trips to the beach, playing in the parks, barbeque, outdoor sporting events and more. While parents, especially mothers, worry about protecting their children from potential harmful sun rays and keeping them well hydrated during the hot summer months, mothers often forget about taking care of their own hair and skin.  The right products are essential to help keep a healthy skin and hair regimen, especially with the extra sun exposure.
Walmart is premier one-stop shop for finding beauty essentials by offering top brands, like CoverGirl and Olay.  Walmart helps to save on favorite beauty items (i.e., P&G brands – Olay and CoverGirl) with Walmart’s everyday low prices.

Beauty and lifestyle experts recommend the following tips below on ways to keep your skin and hair in great shape this summer:
1) Protect your lips
The summer sun can dry out and cause damage to delicate lip tissue, so use an all-natural lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher.
2) Use (light) makeup
Sunscreen is your skin’s first line of defense against harmful UVA rays, but also using loose makeup for light coverage and an SPF protection of 30-50.  Pressed powder, with light-reflecting ingredients helps to provide smooth complexion and eliminate shine from sunny weather.

Protect your skin and hair from the sun’s damaging rays by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The hat will also protect your scalp and prevent sunburn.
4) Take a cold shower
After a hot day in the sun, a hot shower will enhance the effects of dry skin. Take a cold shower to lower the temperature in your skin and reduce acne breakouts.

o   Cleanses skin without leaving it dry (versus regular soap)
o   Cleanses gently enough for use on your face
5) Exfoliate away the dry skin
Everyone wants to have soft, supple skin in the summer, so use a sugar or salt scrub to rub away unwanted dry skin. Homemade scrubs are inexpensive and can be made from sugar or salt, olive oil, lemon juice, and your favorite essential oils. Pay close attention to the knees and elbows.
6) Dine on melons
Beautiful summer skin comes from within. Eat a lot of cantaloupe and watermelon, as they are filled with antioxidants and will help hydrate the skin. Enjoy radiant summer skin by eating a healthy diet.
7) Even out your skin tone
Use fresh strawberries to freshen up your skin tone. Cut large strawberries in half, squeeze them to release the juices, and rub them in circular motions over your face. Leave on your face for 2 – 3 minutes, then rinse. Consistent use will brighten sun and age spots to give you a more even skin tone.
8) Protect your hair before swimming
Wet hair will absorb fewer chemicals like chlorine than dry hair. Also keep hair braided or pinned up to prevent unruly tangles. Avoid a tight bun, as wet hair is susceptible to breakage when it is pulled.
