Summer is here and it's time to take care of your skin. Step one is to look for any product with and SPF value of 15 or greater. This is the minimum SPF that a person should need to get some initial UV protection if this is the first real exposure to the sun. No one should expect to get an immediate tan the first time out. That won't happen unless you use a self-tanning product containing Dihydroxyacetone or DHA. But you should also make sure that this self-tanning product gradually tans the skin and also has adequate SPF protection of its own. Some popular self-tanning moisturizers with SPF protection that are on the market are listed below:
* Olay Complete Touch of Sun Daily UV Facial Moisturizer SPF 15
* Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20
* True Blue Spa Bronze Bombshell Self-Tanner for Face SPF 15
But the heat of the sun can also dry out the skin at the same time. This is step two. Make sure you apply a good moisturizer. A good moisturizer contains the proper balance of emollients, humectants and antioxidants for total skin protection.
