If You're Basically A Vampire Trying To Avoid The Sun At All Costs, These 22 Things Are For You
A UPF 50 beach tent to create a lil' den-like area for the sun-fearing beachgoers among us. It has room for up to 10 people (depending on what size you get), folds up nicely for easy traveling, and promises not to easily blow away in the wind like some umbrellas I know. 😒 Pleated paper shades if you find that the sun is waking up way before you. This affordable solution is easy to apply (just trim, peel, stick) and comes with clips to raise or lower them. A bottle of Coppertone shimmering sunscreen offering just a subtle sprinkle of glitter, meaning people might briefly mistake you for a vampire. Plus, the SPF 50 will ensure you just sparkle like a Twilight vampire instead of burn like a True Blood one. A packable floppy hat that'll keep your face shaded (with UPF 50!), yes, but more importantly, it will make you feel posh and dramatic while walking on the boardwalk and looking out at the ocean. Or a large-brimmed visor if you want to give your head some breathing room. The extra-long brim offers supreme coverage and is made with anti-UV, UPF 50+ material. Let's see the sun get through that! A beach chair with a built-in canopy so you don't have to constantly readjust your seat every time the sun sneaks past the umbrella. The chair comes with two cup holders, can hold up to 350 pounds, offers 50+ UPF protection, and folds up neatly in a 14-pound parcel for easy traveling. A car windshield sunshade to keep your car from becoming hotter than the center of the earth. Please! No more scorched thighs this summer. A laptop tent because sun glare is the number one reason why we're not all working from beach. The reflective fabric creates a little dark room for your computer to prevent overheating and sun glare. Now you can actually see the email you're writing and not accidentally type, "Best regrads." A leafy lounger float with a built-in shade for anyone who feels like a sitting duck (ready for the oven) whenever they're trying to relax at the pool. There are even cup holders in case you want to bring some sunscreen on your maiden voyage. A pair of round polarized sunglasses because if you're going to have to brave the summer heat and strong sun, you might as well look cool while doing it. Or a pair of retro-inspired sunglasses you definitely need for the beginning of summer. They provide UV400 protection to properly protect your eyes from the ever-intensifying sunlight. A baby beach tent with a built-in pool so you can keep your little one shaded and bring the ocean to them. Now your baby can splash to their heart's content, and you can stay shaded and cool under your own umbrella. A handy sports umbrella you can clip onto your chair for some personal shade, since it's unlikely you'll find someone to follow you around with an umbrella any time soon. Plus, the long shape is designed to ensure your whole body gets covered. A dermatologist-recommended tinted sunscreen with SPF 41 so you can take on the day without fear of burning your delicate face to a crisp (so long as you reapply!). It's fragrance free, lightweight, perfect for people with sensitive skin, and boasts 11,400+ 5-star ratings. A high ponytail baseball hat because I would never want you to have to sacrifice a cute hairstyle for the sake of shade. The discreet slot closes when not in use, so you can wear it normally as well. A cabana-style umbrella offering plenty of shade for your next beach trip. It comes with cloth corners you fill with sand to weigh down the umbrella, so you don't have to worry about it blowing away in the wind. Beach trips are supposed to be stress-free, after all. Or a Shibumi wind-blown sun blocker that sails with as little as a 3-mph breeze, providing much-needed shade for up to six people. Since it's designed to float through the air, it's flexible and won't blow away or fall over. Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush offering some light coverage (and extra sun protection on top of your normal sunscreen) that won't weigh you down on hot days. Most intriguing: Reviewers are using this on their scalp and hairline because YES scalp burns can happen and NO we're not putting goopy sunscreen in our hair. It's also wayyy cheaper than the $69 Colorescience version. A set of special stickers that tell you when it's time to reapply sunscreen. Cover it (and your skin, of course) with sunscreen, and the sticker will turn clear. When it turns purple, you know it's time for another generous coating of sun protection. A "beach blouse" for anyone looking for a versatile cover-up that hides your delicate shoulders from the sun. It's lightweight and so effortlessly chic, you could easily wear it off the sand as well! A canopy that provides shade without trapping in hot air and turning your otherwise pleasant patio into a sweatbox. It comes in a ton of different sizes, and reviewers say it's easy to install. Or a triangular sail you can layer up to create a breezy backyard-of-a-brewery-type vibe. Stay cool out there! Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Jana Kramer Explains Why She Doesn't Always Use Sunscreen on Her 3 Kids: ‘Come at Me'
Jana Kramer is defending her decision not to always put sunscreen on her three kids. 'Time out really fast. Let me just go back, because I'm gonna get a lot of hate on this. I am well aware that I should have worn sunscreen as a child. I am well aware," Kramer, 41, said on the Monday, July 7, episode of iHeart Radio's 'Whine Down' podcast. "And I know my mom put on the Coppertone Baby, whatever SPF on me.' She continued, 'Having said that, my mother was the generation who used no sunscreen and used the baby oil, right? If my mother gave me anything more than an 8 SPF, I would be like, 'I cannot get a tan with anything less than 8.'' Kramer explained that she used a tanning oil with 8 SPF and stayed clear of sunburns until a One Tree Hill cast trip to Puerto Rico where she 'burnt so bad.' She added, 'My forehead completely peeled. I was two different colors for the episode. It was so bad.' Khloe Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen and More Celebs Clap Back at the Parenting Police Kramer began wearing sunscreen in her 30s. When it comes to her kids, Kramer said she opts not to put it on them unless they are going to be outdoors for 'hours' because she knows they 'don't burn.' "There's so much bad stuff in sunscreen that if we're not going to be out there for more than a couple hours — listen, come at me. But I'm just not putting it on,' she alleged. "I will if we're on the beach for hours and the reflection of all the things, like, I'll put it on his neck, his ears — the baby — but like, the kids, I haven't put any on them because I'm like, 'They're not getting burned.' What's worse, the burn or the suntan lotion?" Kramer welcomed daughter Jolie and son Jace with ex-husband Mike Caussin in 2016 and 2018, respectively. She moved on with Alan Russell, whom she welcomed son Roman with in 2023. The pair tied the knot in Scotland the following year. Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi's Days of Tanning 'Irresponsibly' Are Over as She Stresses the Importance of SPF Experts have advised wearing sunscreen, even while inside. Dr. Dhaval G. Bhanusali, a celebrity board-certified dermatologist at Hudson Dermatology & Laser Surgery — whose clients include Hailey Bieber and Martha Stewart — told Us Weekly that 'UV rays can penetrate through glass and are even present during the cloudy days when you expect it least.' When it comes to choosing proper protection, Bhanusali recommends one with 'at least an SPF of 30 or higher' and making sure 'broad-spectrum' is on the packaging.

It's important to think about how to protect our skin from the sunshine
Glorious bursts of sunshine makes it feel like summer has finally arrived. However, it's important to think about how to protect our skin. For people over 60, sun protection goes beyond just avoiding sunburn — it's about safeguarding your health, maintaining comfort, and feeling confident in your skin. Here are some expert-backed, practical tips tailored for mature skin to help you enjoy the sunshine safely and glow with confidence all season long. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen 'It's essential for older people to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30,' says GP Naveed Asif. 'This type of sunscreen protects against both UVA rays, which can age the skin, and UVB rays, which cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer. 'Look for products labelled 'water-resistant' to ensure protection during activities like swimming or sweating.' Plus, remember to reapply every two hours, and immediately after swimming or excessive sweating, he adds. 'Brands like Neutrogena and Coppertone offer reliable options that cater to sensitive skin,' says the GP. Look for signs of sun damage Routinely checking your skin, especially after extended sun exposure, can help detect any changes at an early stage. 'As we age, our skin can show more visible signs of sun damage,' says Asif. 'Common indicators include sunspots, which are flat brown or black spots that appear on areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and arms.' Avoid harsh ingredients 'For those with ageing or fragile skin, it's wise to stay away from sunscreens containing alcohol, fragrances, or preservatives like parabens, as these can irritate sensitive skin,' says Asif. 'Instead, opt for mineral-based sunscreens with active ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. 'These sunscreens not only offer effective protection, but are also less likely to cause irritation. Brands like EltaMD and Blue Lizard are known for their gentle formulations.' Make applying sunscreen a daily habit Sunscreen should be part of your daily routine regardless of the weather. 'UV rays can penetrate clouds, so apply sunscreen even on overcast days,' says Asif. 'Make it a habit to apply it 15-30 minutes before going outside and remember to reapply every two hours. 'This is especially important if you are spending time outdoors or engaging in water activities.' Be cautious with medications 'Some medications can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of sunburn,' says Asif. 'For example, certain antibiotics, diuretics, and even some over-the-counter medications can heighten sensitivity. 'If you're on medication, ask your doctor or chemist if it can affect your sun sensitivity.' Use a lip balm with SPF 'Opt for a lip balm that contains SPF 15 or higher to shield your lips from harmful UV rays,' says Asif. 'Look for products that contain moisturising ingredients, like shea butter or coconut oil, which can help prevent chapping.' Be mindful of fabrics 'To minimise the risk of sunburn through clothing, choose garments with tighter weaves, darker colours, and consider UPF-rated options for the best protection,' says Dr Karishma Hemmady, a consultant dermatologist. 'Loosely woven fabrics allow more UV rays to penetrate through to the skin.' Wear a wide-brimmed hat 'Wear hats with wide brims that provide shade to your face, neck, and ears,' says Hemmady. 'Hats made from tightly woven fabrics or those with UPF ratings offer better protection.' Buy sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection 'Protect your eyes with sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays,' says Hemmady. Stay in the shade during peak hours 'Whenever possible, stay in shaded areas, especially during peak sun-intensity hours (10am to 4pm),' says Hemmady. Stay hydrated 'Drinking plenty of water helps keep the skin hydrated and can improve its resilience against sun damage,' says Asif. 'Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily, and consider incorporating hydrating foods, like cucumbers, oranges and watermelon, in to your diet.' Use a gentle moisturiser After spending a day in the sun, your skin may feel dry or irritated. 'To help soothe and replenish moisture, use a gentle moisturiser containing ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid,' says Asif. 'These ingredients hydrate the skin and support the natural healing process. 'Products like CeraVe or Aveeno can be excellent choices for post-sun care, as they include nourishing ingredients that are beneficial for ageing skin.' Regular skin check-ups 'Annual skin checks with a dermatological healthcare professional are crucial for seniors, especially if they have a history of skin issues or family history of skin cancer,' says Asif. 'These professionals can spot potential problems that may not be visible to the untrained eye.'
