"The 9 Best Beach Beauty Solutions\\nFast first aid for the top hot-weather hair and skin emergencies.\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ Switch to an oil-free sunscreen (derms are almost unanimous in their praise for [Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 55),](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/neutrogena-ultra-sheer-dry-touch-sunblock-spf55) and clean skin with an antibacterial, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide face wash before and after being in the sun. (Try [Bior\u00E9 Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser.)](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/biore-blemish-fighting-cleanser)\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ \\\"Sunscreen doesn't stick well to the nose, which tends to be oily,\\\" says Katie Rodan, a dermatologist in Oakland, California. Instead of slathering on a thick coat, work sunscreen on in thin layers and reapply it every two hours. If it's especially humid, Rodan suggests dusting the nose with loose powder first: \\\"Most powders contain titanium dioxide, which will give added SPF protection while controlling shine and ruddiness.\\\"\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ If you know you've overdone the sun, take ibuprofen (like Advil) ASAP\u2014as in, before the burn actually appears. \\\"If you take 600 to 800 milligrams during that short window, you can prevent some of the damage,\\\" says Lisa Donofrio, a dermatologist in New Haven, CT. (That dose is high, so check with your doctor first.) If the burn has set in, take two ibuprofen, soak in a lukewarm bath with baking soda, and then dab hydrocortisone cream on the burned area. Keep skin well-moisturized with plain, fragrance-free lotion (one with no acids and no anti-agers).\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ Exfoliation.\\n\\n\\n\\nOn your body, buff skin with a gritty scrub ([Kiehl's Creme de Corps Soy Milk &amp; Honey Body Polish](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/kiehls-creme-de-corps-milk-honey-body-polish) does the job), and further the exfoliation with an acid-infused cream. (We like __DDF Glycolic 10% Body Lotion.)__\\n\\nOn your face (such as lines from sunglasses), remove gently with an at-home microdermabrasion paste (we like __St. Ives Elements Microdermabrasion)__ or a glycolic peel (such as the [Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel),](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/avon-anew-clinical-retexturizing-peel) used every other day.\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ Whatever you do, don't pick at it. \\\"Attempting to peel off the skin can cause even more damage,\\\" warns Boston dermatologist Jeffrey Dover. Allow the skin to shed itself, and focus your energy instead on keeping the area lubed up with plenty of moisturizer. Derms recommend noncomedogenic __Vanicream Skin Cream__ because it can help rehydrate the underlying skin as well as control the accompanying itching.\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ That Kermit tinge comes from chlorine and other mineral deposits in pool water, so the key is to give hair a protective coating. Saturate your hair prepool with a product like [Phyto Plage L'Originale Protective Beach Spray](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/phyto-protective-beach-spray)\u2014or plain old baby oil, New York City colorist Sharron Dorram-Krause's favorite\u2014and then tuck your hair into a swim cap.\\n\\nIf you're already green, Dorram-Krause recommends [Kiehl's All-Sport Swimmer's Cleansing Rinse for Hair and Body](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/kiehls-all-sport-cleansing-rinse) to restore hair to its original shade. (And if all else fails, many salons offer oil treatments that do the job.)\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ Don't step outside without protecting your color with a UV-blocking product like __L'Or\u00E9al Professionnel Serie Expert Solar Sublime Spray__ and a hat (we love big, floppy '60s-style ones this summer). And ask your colorist for a temporary rinse to tone down brassiness at home.\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ A UV-protective topcoat, since sunlight oxidizes nail polish. Paint on the topcoat at least every other day. (We like [Sally Hansen Ultimate Shield Fortifying Base &amp; Top Coat.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/sally-hansen-ultimate-shield-base-top-coat)) Or consider switching to a bolder-colored polish; bright shades are less likely to yellow.\\n__THE SOLUTION:__ Rinse your nails immediately after slathering on sunblock, since its ingredients can dull polish, says New York City manicurist Elisa Ferri. And if you do lose shine, bring it back with a dose of topcoat. For the record, though, Ferri doesn't view dull polish as much of a beauty emergency at all: \\\"I think dull, opaque polish can be very chic.\\\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
