BALTIMORE —
In the current economy, making ends meet is getting more difficult.
So, 11 News is getting the facts on what consumers can do when it comes to traveling, buying a car, joining a gym, searching for jobs and even learning the best skin-care routines for the summer.
It’s just as important to know what not to do as it is to know what you should do to keep your skin healthy.
Key to prevent skin cancer, premature aging
Caroline Harvey, a skin expert and certified physician assistant with Belcara Health in Baltimore, said the first thing people want to avoid is skipping out on sunscreen.
“That’s your first line of defense against skin cancer and premature aging. You want to look for a product that’s broad-spectrum sunscreen — a minimum of SPF 30 — and you need to reapply every couple of hours that you’re outdoors,” Harvey said.
Sunglasses: More than meets the eye
Harvey’s also said, don’t forget your sunglasses. Experts say to wear sunglasses to protect the eyes, but it’s also about protecting the skin around the eyes.
“Sunglasses with UV protection help protect the delicate skin around our eyes, which is very prone to premature aging and skin cancer. So, don’t forget your sunglasses,” Harvey said.
How often to wash your face
“Don’t forget to keep your skin clean. You need to wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser that helps with the dirt and oil that builds up from the summer heat,” Harvey said.
How much water should you drink?
Don’t skip out on water: Staying hydrated is good for the brain, heart and kidneys. So, it’s no surprise it’s so important for the skin.
“Don’t forget to stay hydrated and moisturized. The summer heat causes us to be at increased risk of dehydration, and that can affect our skin. So, you want to make sure you’re replenishing your fluids,” Harvey said.
Harvey said people should aim to drink 64 ounces of water daily and moisturize the skin with a moisturizer or lotion.

To minimize the appearance of pores, tighten skin, and smooth fine lines, try this mousse. It’s a bit more expensive than your standard sunscreen, but a little bit goes a long way.

Best Drugstore Moisturizer with SPF
Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF 50
For a lightweight lotion that won’t weigh you down, but provides ample protection from the sun’s rays, try this drugstore moisturizer. It contains naturally-sourced zinc oxide that absorbs quickly and dries to a clean smooth finish, says Dr. Tsippora Shainhouse, a board-certified dermatologist in Los Angeles. “It provides excellent sun protection, and is tolerated by even sensitive skin types.”
Though technically classified as more of a sunscreen, this formula is deeply hydrating, silky smooth, and provides broad-spectrum sunscreen for all skin types, says Potozkin. It’s also water-resistant for 80 minutes, making it a great choice for summertime jaunts to the beach or pool. And, it has an endorsement from one of our faves, Kelly Ripa (for what it’s worth). The morning show host adores the tinted version because it “sort of makes you look sun-kissed and…like maybe you put on foundation,” she told New York Magazine, explaining that this sunscreen is her daily beauty essential.
This all-in-one product provides even more coverage than a BB cream, making it a great choice for mature skin or skin that has dark spots, discoloration, or an uneven tone, says Dr. Caroline A. Chang, a board-certified dermatologist. And when it comes to sun protection, “it provides good coverage without being heavy and has zinc/titanium-based sunscreen protection.”
This Beauty O-ward winner is a great everyday option for normal skin types, says Chang. It’s formulated with a special InvisibleZinc technology that provides the same superior protection of traditional zinc-based sunscreens, without the white streaks.
This facial moisturizer and sunscreen combo is ideal for anyone with dry skin. “This extremely easy-to-layer sunscreen/facial moisturizer, is my absolute favorite,” says Dr. Mona Gohara, a board-certified dermatologist in Connecticut. “It blends perfectly into my brown skin, leaving my complexion soft, and primed for makeup.”
Thanks to a soothing, lightweight mineral-only formula, this lotion is great for oily and acne-prone skin, Frieling says.

As a general rule, if something’s good enough for Rihanna, it’s good enough for us, too. Case in point: This moisturizer-sunscreen hybrid, which combines reef-friendly SPF 30 with antioxidant-rich watermelon extract, hydrating hyaluronic acid, soothing aloe, and niacinamide to help reduce the appearance of dark spots. Plus, thanks to its slightly pink tint, the formula is truly invisible on all skin tones—which is why O named it one of the best beauty products in 2020.
If you’re looking for a strong base layer to wear under makeup everyday, this classic moisturizer with SPF is a great choice, says Shainhouse. “It uses peptides to help rebuild collagen due to UV-induced damage, while preventing further damage with its oxybenzone-free sunscreen.” Bonus: It has a nice sweet scent, too.

Supergoop is known for creating some of the most innovative sunscreens (hello, Unseen Sunscreen), so it should come as no surprise that the beloved beauty brand offers a phenomenal SPF-infused moisturizer. While the whipped texture feels rich and thick, it quickly melts into skin, delivering a potent blend of moisturizers and antioxidants (like glycerin, blue-green algae, and safflower extract), broad-spectrum SPF 40, and cerium, a mineral that helps block the blue light from your computer screen, television, and phone.
