Black Girl Sunscreen
People of color often dismiss sunscreen because of the decreased likelihood of getting sunburnt. But while people with darker complexions are less likely to get skin cancer, some folks of color do due from skin cancer . Famed singer Bob Marley died from complications from melanoma. Black Girl sunscreen provides great protection without leaving unattractive white streaks on dark skin.

Coolibar Sun Protective Clothing
In Australia, where the sun is constantly shining, and the ozone layer is disturbingly thin, wide brim hats are a mandatory part of school uniforms. Hats are an important part of sun protection, and the government has awareness campaigns reminding everyone to wear them. Coolibar has a great collection of beautiful UPF 50 sun hats that are both stylish and safe. Fashion Reverie loves this Miranda hat as a fun colorful way to protect your face and neck from harmful rays whether you’re in the outback or at the beachfront. Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Wellax Sandproof Beach Blanket
There are so many things to love about the beach, but some things aren’t so great; namely, the sand. It’s so annoying and it gets everywhere. But what can you do? You could pick up a Wellax sand proof blanket, that’s what. The sand brushes off with no effort, so half the beach won’t come back in your car. It comes with deep corner pockets so it won’t get blown away and a waterproof case for personal belongings that shouldn’t get wet.

Hempz Daily Herbal Body Moisturizer SPF 30 with Hemp Seed Oil
Looking for a good overall SPF lotion? Hempz Daily Moisturizer with SPF30 will keep your skin sunburn free and hydrated with hemp seed oil . The lotion is even water resistant for up to 40 minutes. Some friendly advice from Fashion Reverie; don’t wait until you reach the beach to apply sunscreen. Apply 20 minutes before going out so the lotion will have time to absorb into your skin and provide a proper barrier.
