Editor's Picks: Labor Day Sun Essentials

Labor Day weekend brings with it travel, parties, picnics, BBQs, and plenty of fun in the sun. What’s important is that every Blinging Beauty remember her SPF for head-to-toe sun protection.

1. SPF for Hair

Protecting hair from sun damage as equally as important as protecting it from heat damage. Treat your hair before and after a day in the sun with these products.

Before a day in the sun:

Try: Sun Bum Beach Formula Shine On $19.99

After a day in the sun:

Try: Phyto Phytoplage After Sun Recovery Mask $26

A treatment mask that helps to restore hair weakened by the sun.

2. SPF for Skin

Whether or not you wear makeup or moisturizer with SPF, it’s wise to slather on a layer of sunscreen if you plan on a day in the sun. Remember to reapply the longer you are in the sun, and after time in the water.
