Sometimes the simplest moments that require little planning and effort end up being the ones that are most important and become moments of self care. For me, those moments often include enjoying time in the sun.
I step into my backyard, lay down a blanket on the grass and relax in the sunshine. Soaking in the sounds of the trees blowing in the wind and the warmth of the sun on my skin. Sun care enters my self care, because I couldn’t enjoy these moments without protecting my skin. I do this with Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 40.
This face moisturizer with SPF blends into skin effortlessly, leaving my face feeling hydrated and without any white or sticky residue. It has Solasheer technology that nourishes skin while protecting it from UVA and UVB rays. The Olay Whip with SPF 40 is oil-free and this is especially important to me, since I have sensitive skin.
I’ve adjusted the way I think as I apply the Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 40 to my face. I used to think applying a face sunscreen was what I did before any moment of self care. However, now I realize that my sun care truly is part of my self care. Not only am I taking care of myself by protecting my skin, but because Olay sunscreen includes the brand’s Amino-Peptide Complex II, as I blend it into my skin I’m improving my skin’s elasticity and firmness. A transformation I see after only 28 days.
My favorite ways to enjoy my moments of self care in sun care in my backyard…
- Create a playlist with songs that calm your spirit or uplift your mood. I enjoy any playlist with Parisian vibes as it instantly transports me to a lovely place.
- Sipping sweet tea. I enjoy brewing it at-home and adding a lemon slice to my glass. It’s just the most refreshing treat while in the sun.
- A good book. The sounds of the outdoors often serve as the perfect background noise as I read a book. It’s easy and fun to get lost in the pages while in the fresh air.
- Slipping into a cute bathing suit. It’s been one of my few outfit changes lately and it sure feels nice to put on a bikini or one-piece to really escape into the moment.
- Make sure to take your sunscreen with you. I always bring out a little pouch with SPF chapstick and my Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 40 inside of it, so I can have both with me in case I’d like to reapply.
