That's all and well, but a lot of exposure to the sun and the elements can wreak havoc on our skin. In order for you to take care of your skin, here are four things that you should put on your face this summer.

1. Burt's Bees Renewal Firming Day Lotion w/SPF 30

Burt's Bees has always been the king of lip balms in my book, but I had no idea they made anything else until my wife introduced me to their lotion. Her skin is very (insanely) sensitive to the sun and she uses this almost daily to keep her skin protected, firm, and smooth.

Per the product page, Burt's Bees Renewal Firming Day Lotion is "lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer is clinically shown to help improve firmness and reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles."

2. ASEA Renu 28

ASEA's Renu 28 is a very interesting product. It's a whole-body topical application formulated to work on the cellular level, designed to repair and comfort aging or damaged skin through Redox Signaling, which is complicated. So I'll let the product page, where more detailed information can be found, explain.

"Redox Signaling molecules are naturally created within every cell of the body. They are vital to your immune system and to the cellular healing mechanisms of your body. A proper supply of Redox Signaling molecules enables cellular healing throughout your body. As you age, your cells make fewer and fewer of these molecules and your body's ability to combat every day ailments and the effects of aging diminishes. In order to keep the cellular mechanisms of your body performing properly, it is essential that you supplement and replenish Redox Signaling molecules. The only way that you can do that is through ASEA— the worlds' only source for Redox Signaling molecules."

3. Sephora Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25

Sephora's Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm is, well, intense in a very good way. It's specially formulated to hydrate and heal your lips, enriched with a number of ingredients such as shea butter, avocado oil, green tea extract, and more. Additionally, its SPF 25 rating means that it will help protect your lips from the sun. We (almost) always remember our sunscreen, but do we remember to take care of our lips?

BONUS: According to Sephora's website, their Intense Therapy Lip Balm is formulated without something called Phthalates. I looked them up. Their real.

4. Neutrogena Men Sensitive Skin Oil-Free Moisture with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30

Last in line is a product from Neutrogena, a company who has positioned itself as one of the top leaders in skin care. They've also done a great job at marketing their products to men in such a way that we don't even mind the fact that the packaging says "sensitive" on it.

The product has a pretty impressive set of reviews, no matter where you look. Probably because it features Helioplex, which the product page describes as "an advanced sunscreen complex that protects six layers of surface skin for broad spectrum protection against UVA/UVB rays." I call it an oil-free, sun-resistant moisturizer and a fine one at that.
