3. Hydrate and moisturize.
If there's one summer skin care rule that you shouldn't forget, it's to not let your skin get dehydrated.

It's fast absorbent and has SPF30 to fight aging and give you sun defense. Added bonus: It's affordable!

7. Save on a surgical lift with a non-invasive cream.
Too much exposure to the sun can speed up the rate of wrinkles and lines. The bee venom in this cream activates your cells to produce collagen and elastin, which results into plumper, firmer, and younger-looking skin!
