"Still tanning? UV got to be kidding! Give it up this summer (and beyond) by following these skin safety dos and don&amp;#039;ts! DO cover up. Look adorbs and stay protected! Wear a cute rashguard to minimize sun exposure. DON&amp;#039;T go too high or too low. Buy SPF 30! Anything lower doesn&amp;#039;t shield you, and a higher number gives you a false sense of security\u2014it won&amp;#039;t protect much more, and it still needs to be reapplied. DO save your strands. Seaweed isn&amp;#039;t just for a sushi date! Spritz hair with a sea-mineral spray to prevent locks from frying. Then rub sunscreen into your part to keep your scalp from burning. DON&amp;#039;T skimp on SPF! You need about two palm-size portions to protect your whole body. DO go for a fake glow. For weekend plans, get a quick bronze with a professional spray tan! You can choose exactly how dark you want to go. DON&amp;#039;T forget to reapply after taking a dip. No sunscreen is actually waterproof, so make sure to reapply after a dip. DO try different SPF formulas. Hate the how some heavier sunscreens can make your skin feel all sticky? Try sunscreen oil! For zero stickiness, spray it on wet skin and let it dry without rubbing! DON&amp;#039;T leave your hat at home. Keep cool in the heat by throwing on a hat! A 3-inch brim increases the protection you get from sunscreen alone! DO take an indoor lunch break. Duck into the AC for an iced mocha break with friends from 11 am\u20131 pm! (That&amp;#039;s when the sun&amp;#039;s rays are the worst.) DON&amp;#039;T limit your protection to the outside. Scoop another spoonful of berries onto your fro-yo\u2014the antioxidants in fruits may help reduce skin damage. (You still need your SPF though!) DO make it a habit. Stash a travel-size bottle of SPF in your makeup bag and on your vanity as a reminder to apply it anytime you&amp;#039;re outdoors! DON&amp;#039;T ignore weird spots. While you&amp;#039;re at it, be on the lookout for any spots that are bigger than the eraser on a pencil and spots that have changed size or shape. You&amp;#039;ll def need to get those checked out by a derm. DO regular mole checks.  Remember your ABCs of skin care: A for asymmetry, B for border and C for color. If you have a mole that&amp;#039;s sides are asymmetrical, border looks scalloped or uneven, or has a variety of colors, it&amp;#039;s a sign that the mole may be unhealthy and you should consult a doctor. DON&amp;#039;T skip the derm. Make an appointment with a derm! You need to visit one once a year for an official skin check. But look monthly on your own for moles that have changed or grown.  DO decode the SPF labels. There&amp;#039;s a lot written on a sunscreen bottle. Look for an SPF with the term &amp;quot;broad spectrum protection,&amp;quot; which means it protects against the sun&amp;#039;s most damaging UVA and UVB rays! DON&amp;#039;T break out.  Layer a mineral sunscreen, like zinc oxide, under your makeup! It lies on top of skin without clogging pores to bounce the sun&amp;#039;s rays off your face. DO pick a sport-safe SPF. Before your a.m. run, use a sweat-resistant SPF. It works overtime to protect your skin, even while you&amp;#039;re breaking a sweat on the sand. DON&amp;#039;T forget to cover sneaky spots. Ask your beach crush to spray your back! It&amp;#039;s a good excuse to flirt and cover that spot between your shoulder blades that usually gets overlooked! DO find shade. There&amp;#039;s no shame in picking a spot under the umbrella! It reduces the risk of burning, and friends will come hang out on your towel when they&amp;#039;re looking for a place to cool down. DON&amp;#039;T forget to reapply. Remember to reapply sunscreen by setting an alarm on your phone to go off every 90 minutes. That way, you can get lost in your juicy beach read without worrying about getting fried. DO invest in quality shades. Protect your eyes with UV-reflecting sunglasses as you people-watch poolside! DON&amp;#039;T leave home without your SPF lip gloss! The skin on your lips is extra fragile, so the more you reapply, the more that glossy layer is working to protect your lips from burning and peeling!
