Sun Bum SPF 30 Sunscreen
Price: $4
Jaliman recommended this lightweight sunscreen that can help prevent sun damage and skin cancer. She also said that it is never too early to start using sunscreen, especially for teens.
The Sun Bum SPF 30 sunscreen is great for daily wear on the face and body with a broad-spectrum formula that blocks 97% of UVB rays. Reapply every two hours and pay special attention to the spots people often miss, like the back of the neck and the ears.
Sub Bum SPF 30 Lip Balm
Price: $4
Remembering to protect lips from harsh sun rays is just as important as protecting the skin, in Jaliman's opinion. The Sun Bum SPF 30 lip balm does just that. This SPF lip balm not only protects, but it also moisturizes thanks to aloe and vitamin E. Plus, it's small enough to fit in your pocket, so you can always have it with you when you need it.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula
Price: $1
According to Jaliman, Palmer’s cocoa butter formula with vitamin E is a great product for hydrating the skin.
Whether you’re dealing with a cold, dry or hot climate, cocoa butter keeps skin nourished, softens cuticles and helps prevent chafing. Used on the face, it can help guard against windburn, improve skin’s elasticity and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Cleansing Facial Wipes (3-Pack)
Price: $5
This three-pack of cleansing facial wipes is perfect for daily use or while traveling. Its ingredients include hyaluronic acid, peptides, niacinamide, collagen and vitamins E and B5. These facial wipes can easily remove makeup and dirt while keeping skin nourished and looking its best.
Jaliman reminded readers that hyaluronic acid delivers deep hydration and is gentle enough for all skin types.
Burt’s Bees Micellar Facial Towelettes
Price: $3
Jaliman also advised using skin products containing coconut water to help soothe sensitive skin and reduce acne breakouts. The Burt’s Bees micellar facial towelettes combine coconut and lotus water to lift oil and makeup residue, leaving skin feeling fresh and hydrated. The micellar liquid means no rinsing is required, and it’s gentle on sensitive skin. The towelettes are also made with 60% or more repurposed cotton.
