As we welcome the first official days of summer we are looking ahead to months of warmer weather and more sunshine! While exposure to the sun is necessary to help us maintain healthy levels of vitamin D we need to ensure our skin is properly protected. The increased time outdoors can wreak havoc on our health so we have complied a list of our top sun-care staples. Along with wearing a hat and keeping the UV index in mind when heading out, we’ve included some awesome deals for safe summer fun in the sun.
Read below for exclusive discounts on sunglasses, sunscreen and other suncare must-haves!

Sunscreen
Guest contributor Dr. Danielle O’Connor ND first educated us on some of the surprisingly harmful chemicals commonly found in sunscreen. A few of her favourite clean brands are Beautycounter, Green Beaver, Badger, Tom’s, Neutrogena Sheer Zinc, and Coppertone Pure and Simple. Dr. Danielle shared that these sunscreens contain the mineral (not chemical) active ingredients found to be safe for proper sun protection without the worry of absorbing unwanted ingredients through the skin.

Countersun After Sun Cooling Gel is lightweight and cools on contact to help soothe skin post-sun exposure while boosting hydration.
