PROTECT YOUR POUT
“The sun’s rays are drying on the delicate lip tissue,” Henriksen says. To keep your lips luscious like Penelope Cruz, start with a richly textured lip balm with an SPF 15 or higher and reapply regularly when outdoors. The La Prairie Ultra Protection Stick keeps lips hydrated, and can be used on the rest of your face to shield the sun's rays.
COOL OFF
"Keep a face mist in your ice chest so you can mist your face and body while on the beach," cosmetician Ole Henriksen, who works with Charlize Theron and Renee Zellweger, suggests. "The African Red Tea Face Mist is filled with antioxidants, and in addition to cooling you down, soothing Red Tea helps strengthen your skin's outer layer."
SPRITZ YOUR SCALP
Long locks offer some shade from the sun, but the sensitive skin along your hairline and part still get bombarded with harmful UVA and UVB rays. "Use a sunscreen spray along your part. It's harder for creams to be absorbed there, and you can still burn," New York dermatologist Dr. Neil Sadick, who is a Global Medical Advisor for Dior Beauty, suggests.

Hot showers after sun exposure further dry skin-turn down the temperature and you’ll pick up a few added benefits. “A cool shower after excess sweating helps keep the skin unoccluded, decreasing acne breakouts,”
SIP SOME RED WINE
White wine is refreshing in the summer, but red wine is healing. Resveratol, a naturally occurring phenol found in the skin of red grapes can decrease redness from acute sunburns. It has an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect. Cheers!POWDER YOUR NOSE
Who wants to go through the hassle of washing your face and redoing your makeup each time you need to reapply sunscreen? To streamline the process, NYC dermatologist Pat Wexler suggests touching up with mineral makeup that contains SPF 50, like the Avene High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50 , shown here on the right. The Bare Minerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen also provides sheer coverage and protection in a convenient dust-on wand.
WEAR A WIDE BRIM
A baseball cap won't protect your face from sun coming at an angle. “Opt for a hat with a brim for full protection,” says Wexler. Kate Beckinsale, left, must have heard this tip before.SLOUGH AWAY DRY SKIN
"One of the most effective ways to exfoliate during the summer is to use a scrub on dry skin before you shower," says New York dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf. "Pay special attention to knees and elbows. And finish with a rich body cream or oil within three minutes of toweling off." Our favorites?

LOAD UP ON MELON
Cantaloupe is the melon of choice for beautiful summer skin, according to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, NYC antiaging dermatologist and proponent of treating skin from within. “The sweet delicious fruit is rich in antioxidants and delivers a unique hydration to the skin, resulting in a radiant complexion.” Facialist Kate Somerville, whose clients include Katy Perry, Jessica Alba and Katherine Heigl, likes watermelon in the summer months. “It can actually boost your SPF by several factors,” she says.LOVE YOUR LEGS
“The trick to great summer legs is to alter the way light reflects off the skin's surface,” Dr. Hilary Reich, Noxema’s consulting dermatologist, explains. “Exfoliate first with Ahava Dead Sea Salt Softening Butter Salt Scrub or a Clarisonic Brush. Then apply Caudalie Vine Body Butter
TREAT SUN SPOTS
Dark splotches on the forehead, cheeks and upper lip (also known as melasma) make their peak appearance in summer. “Apply a fade cream nightly like Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector or ask your dermatologist for a prescription strength version,” Dr. Reich suggests.
