Yes, your lips need sunscreen, too. Since the sun can be extremely drying, keep them soft and smooth by using a rich lip balm with SPF 15 or higher like Coola's Liplux SPF 30. Don't forget to reapply it when you're outside.

Stash a bottle of face mist in your cooler so you can mist your face and body when you're at the beach. OLEHENRIKSEN's Pure Nurture Facial Water is packed with antioxidants and nutrients that will soothe and hydrate skin on top of cooling you down.

Long hair does offer some shade from the sun, but the sensitive skin along your hairline can still get burned. "Use a sunscreen spray along your part. It's harder for creams to be absorbed there, and you can still burn," says New York dermatologist Dr. Neil Sadick. Try Supergoop! 100% Mineral Sunscreen Mist SPF 30, a zinc-based sunscreen that dries clear on all skin tones.

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 to keep skin clear, decreasing acne breakouts,” Dr. Sadick says.

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.

"One of the most effective ways to exfoliate during the summer is to use a scrub on dry skin before you shower," says dermatologist Jeannette Graf. "Pay special attention to knees and elbows. Finish with a rich body cream or oil within three minutes of toweling off."

Cantaloupe is the melon of choice for beautiful summer skin, according to New York-based dermatologist Nicholas Perricone. “The sweet fruit is rich in antioxidants and delivers a unique hydration to the skin, resulting in a radiant complexion.” Facialist Kate Somerville likes watermelon in the summer months. “It can actually boost your SPF by several factors,” she says.

“The trick to great summer legs is to alter the way light reflects off the skin's surface,” dermatologist Hilary Reich explains. Start by exfoliating with Ahava DeadSea Skin Softening Butter Salt Scrub.

Melasma—a common skin discoloration consisting of dark spots, which can develop on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip—is a summertime skin risk. “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.

Body acne can happen any time of the year, but it's more common during sweatier months. Dr. Reich recommends washing in the morning with an acne-fighting body wash like Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash .

Bug bites can itch and linger for weeks after they become inflamed. If you happen to get stuck with a sting, Dr. Reich suggests using Aveeno Hydrocortisone 1% Anti-Itch Cream ($4; ) twice daily until itching resolves. To fade any residual marks, try Avene Ciclafate Restorative

The summer weather can be especially harsh on the fragile skin around the eyes. Nashville, TN-based dermatologist Michael Gold recommends using Neocutis Lumiere eye cream from June through August. It contains a patented PSP complex of human growth factors and antioxidants to "help prevent and even reverse wrinkles,” he says. “Plus, the texture is light, and it’s very fast absorbing, which is important during the hot and humid days of summer.”

Antioxidants are key in the summer, and there are tons of ways to work them into your routine. Layer on a serum like SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Gel ($166; ) to boost the potency of your coverage. If you do get a burn, iS Pro-Heal Serum Advance Plus ($148; ) helps reduce the appearance of sun spots. “It’s not ideal, but it will still help minimize the effects,” says Dr. Rebecca Giles

"The thin skin on your hands wrinkles and pigments easily, so be sure to use sunblock daily," Dr. Giles says. Eucerin Daily Hydration Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Hand Creme shields hands from UVA/UVB rays while fully absorbing into skin for a non-greasy finish.

According to Kate Somerville, the best tool for an even summer skin tone is probably already in your fridge. “Cut a large strawberry in half, take a fork and poke at the flesh to awaken the juices, then swipe it across your face in small circles,” she says. “Leave it on for about two minutes, then rinse off. This will brighten sun and age spots over time.”

“I am a big fan of the Clarisonic Brush body attachment (Clarisonic Mia $129; ) to get rid of flaky skin,” Dr. Giles says. “It's helpful to use a hydroxy acid lotion like AmLactin ($13; ) over rough areas, too.”
