Protect your skin and keep it looking its best with these summer skin care tips and must-have product suggestions.

Daily moisturizer

olay

Look for a daily moisturizer with anti-aging ingredients. We love Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer ($23). It firms your skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Waterproof sunscreen

smartshield

No sunscreen is truly waterproof but some are more sun- and sweat-resistant. Try SmartShield SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion ($15). It's oil-free, PABA-free and made with nourishing ingredients like aloe vera.

Lip balm

Protect your lips from sun damage this summer with a lip balm that contains SPF. Try Burt's Bees Sun Protecting Lip Balm SPF 8 ($4). This lip balm is made with passion fruit extract and other natural ingredients.

Body scrub

fresh

Slough away dead skin cells and improve circulation for more radiant skin. Use a body scrub regularly to keep your skin looking its best. Try Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish ($38).

Hand cream

One area of the skin that's often neglected is the hands. Keep your hands smooth, soft and wrinkle free by using a hand lotion every time you wash your hands. Splurge on Philosophy Miracle Worker Anti-aging Hand, Neck and Décolleté Cream ($45) to keep your skin nourished and toned.

Foot cream

neutrOgena

Get your feet sandal-ready by using a foot cream every day. Users love Neutrogena Foot Cream ($5) to relieve dry, rough feet.

Eye cream

clinique

Wear sunglasses to protect the delicate skin around your eyes from the sun's harmful rays. Also use an anti-wrinkle eye cream to get rid of fine lines and crow's feet. If retinol is too harsh for you, try Clinique All About Eyes ($29). It uses antioxidants, whey protein and other ingredients to reduce dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles.
