The summer season tends to lead us all to think of pools, beaches, cocktails — and subsequently — sunburns and bad decisions. Repent no more, we’ve got your back (literally) with ways to keep you looking tan and healthy.
To avoid looking like a dusty bag of raisins, be sure to cover up and hydrate! Use sunblock daily, and make sure you put it on liberally 20 minutes before you leave the house or hotel room. Shower after you swim in the pool or the sea, and eat hydrating fruits and veggies such as cucumbers and melons.
Here at Baopals, we want to keep you healthy. We’ve collected a choice set of sunblocks, hydrating skin sprays and post-sun exposure treatments that you can use all throughout this sweltering season.
