As we welcome the first official days of summer we are looking ahead to months of warmer weather and more sunshine! While exposure to the sun is necessary to help us maintain healthy levels of vitamin D we need to ensure our skin is properly protected. The increased time outdoors can wreak havoc on our health so we have complied a list of our top sun-care staples. Along with wearing a hat and keeping the UV index in mind when heading out, we’ve included some awesome deals for safe summer fun in the sun.

Read below for exclusive discounts on sunglasses, sunscreen and other suncare must-haves!

Here are a few of our favourite sunglass styles this season:

Ray-Ban Clubmaster RB3016-51: A true classic that never goes out of style, these sunglasses feature a semi-rimless frame with oval lenses and a subtle shimmering detail for added interest. 

Joseph Marc Marr-50: These timeless Joseph Marc Marr frames are designed with a plastic D-frame shape and slimline metal arms for a vintage meets modern feel. Striking yet simple, they’re an easy choice for any occasion.

Kam Dhillon Oryx 3090: The glossy acetate and gleaming metal contrast define the Kam Dhillon Oryx eyeglasses with a vintage-inspired Wingtip shape. These beautiful sunglasses complement wider cheekbones and narrower jaws best.

Sunscreen

Guest contributor Dr. Danielle O’Connor ND first educated us on some of the surprisingly harmful chemicals commonly found in sunscreen. A few of her favourite clean brands are Beautycounter, Green Beaver, Badger, Tom’s, Neutrogena Sheer Zinc, and Coppertone Pure and Simple. Dr. Danielle shared that these sunscreens contain the mineral (not chemical) active ingredients found to be safe for proper sun protection without the worry of absorbing unwanted ingredients through the skin. You can shop smart and be sunscreen safe with the links below which go as low as $15.99, plus we’ve partnered with Beautycounter to offer you an additional 10% off!

Countersun After Sun Cooling Gel is lightweight and cools on contact to help soothe skin post-sun exposure while boosting hydration.
