Looking for summer’s hottest sun protection products? We’ve got you covered (literally!) with the most uh-mazing options around. And they’re items you’ll want to wear all summer long. From self-tanning dry oil with SPF 50 to a bracelet that will alert you when it’s time to reapply, and even hip garments with built in protection, check out our favorites below. It’s Skin Cancer Awareness Month, after all!
Vita Liberata Self Tan Dry Oil SPF 50 $54
Missing your favorite tanning oil from the past? Vita Liberata just released a one-of-a-kind self-tanning dry oil formulated with SPF 50. This 3-in-1 oil will give you a natural looking sunkissed glow and maximum sun protection, so you’ll fit right in at the pool if you haven’t had the chance to get any sun yet. The best part? It’s also chock full of organic good-for-you ingredients like marula and monoi oil that will keep your skin moisturized the healthy way.
Coolibar Malibu Ribbon Hat $42
Coolibar was the first clothing company to receive the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation, which is something to write home about. Their fashionable hats are equipped with UPF (Ultra Protection Factor) 50+ fabric, so you’ll never have to worry about damaging your skin or dealing with a painful scalp sunburn again — all in a stylish kind of way!
Mara Hoffman Mattice Maillot Swimsuit $255
Not only are Mara Hoffman’s swimsuits super stylish, but the fabric also contains SPF. Yep, as in there’s actual sun protection in the nylon and spandex to ensure that you’re protected underneath your hip one piece. Just don’t forget to apply sunscreen thoroughly around the cutouts and on your back!
Ever wondered how much sun you’re really getting when outdoors? This smart bracelet will not only tell you your sun exposure in real time but will also send alerts to your smartphone to let you know how much SPF to put on and when to reapply. And since it was designed by Louis Vuitton and Harry Winston collaborator Camille Toupet, it’s super chic.
W Retreat & Spa on Vieques Island has also tapped into this high-tech trend. Guests staying at the luxury hotel can borrow these bracelets during their stay in order to track sun exposure while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. In June, there will also be a corresponding sun repair treatment at their spa that will replenish and rejuvenate the skin.
