Spring is here and it’s all fun and games, until you notice a sunspot or discoloration on your skin. If that's the case, do have your dermatologist check it out but don’t freak out. Chances are the damage already existed beneath your skin before your 18th birthday. No matter how old we are we still love to “play” outside but now that we are older and wiser, sunscreen is a must.

How do you reverse the damage? The first way is stop tanning. But let’s face it that bronzed glow is highly addictive. You can still fake it by warming up your face with a bronzer. Gucci Golden Glow Bronzer gives you a natural looking bronze without being orangey. I love it in the shade Exotic Umber #40 to enhance the overall complexion.

Back to sunscreens though: think of applying sunscreen like brushing your teeth. Make it a mandatory part of your morning ritual. Rodial Super Acids X-Treme Dark Spot Filter is not only a great SPF 30 sunscreen but it also targets dark spots and brightens up your face.

If you want to use a higher SPF, Clinique Broad Spectrum SPF 50 wears really nice under make up. Always apply your sunscreen before makeup but after moisturizer.

Using a foundation with a sunscreen is a worry free way of protecting your skin while looking flawless. Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Foundation SPF 40 not only protects and provides a flawless coverage but also includes a serum. You’re basically taking care of your skin while wearing makeup and sunscreen!
