1. Pick A Moisturizer That Does Double Duty:

Look for a really great moisturizer that has sunscreen built right into it, such as Cetaphil's Daily Facial Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 15. Not only does this keep your skin hydrated, but it protects against the harmful UVA and UVB rays that can lead to premature wrinkles and fine lines. It's also easy to use, day or night, and is appropriate for men or women. Lastly, it's works perfectly under makeup.

2. Cleanse At Home (Or On The Run):

Cetaphil also has a variety of cleansers that are appropriate for for different skin types. They're noncomedogenic so they're remove dirt, oil and makeup, and they will keep your skin feeling soft--never tight or dry. To boot, they offer gentle Cleansing Cloths which help keep you clean on the go. So if you're headed to gym or traveling, just take one of these out! The formula is based on Cetaphil's award-winning Gentle Skin Cleanser, so it's so easy to use.

All of these products are between $5 and $19.99 at mass retailers.

3. Keep Lips Looking Luscious:

When it comes to summer skin protection, don't forget about your lips; they're delicate and can also be susceptible to sun damage including skin cancer if exposed to UVA and UVB rays. This medicated lip balm from Carmex has SPF 15 in it, so it's really going to keep your lips nice and smooth and hydrated. It contains a unique blend of soothing ingredients and comes in a variety of flavors. Some of the fun summer flavors are cherry and strawberry, or you can use the original Carmex flavor. Perfect for summer, they are water resistant for up to 80 minutes.
