Summer skin savers

Sunscreen spray

You know how convenient spray-on sunscreen is for children, and it's great for moms too!

Check out La Roche-Posay Anthelios 30 Ultra-Light Sunscreen Spray. This fast-absorbing sunscreen spray is alcohol- and fragrance-free and safe for even the most sensitive skin. The silky spray-on finish is water resistant and provides high UVA protection for up to five hours.

The visible rub-in formula ensures even coverage, and the 360-degree aerosol spray helps you reach those hard-to-protect areas. (SkinStore.com, $36 for five ounces)

Moisturizing body lotion

Saltwater, pool chemicals and strenuous activity can leach precious moisture from your skin. Replenish that moisture by applying body lotion at least once a day.

Try Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant lotion. The name says it all. This rich-feel formula combines pure cocoa butter and Stratys-3 multi-layer moisture to leave your skin feeling healthy and glowing, from the inside out.

This one-of-a-kind formula penetrates deeply to moisturize your skin from within. And it's from Vaseline—a name you can trust. (Walgreens.com, $4 for 10 ounces)

Bronzer

Sun-bronzed skin is damaged skin, so get your glow from a cosmetic bronzer instead. Powdered bronzers are great for perking up tired, dull complexions, no matter what your skin type or tone.

You can't go wrong with Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder. This silky-smooth powder comes in seven different shades and provides impressive matte coverage. No matter how busy your day, this powder stays put, and your skin will maintain an even-looking glow. (Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, $35)
