In most parts of the U.S., the sun is starting to shine a little more brightly, encouraging us to come out and play. Not only does the warm weather get us all frisky and ready to tackle all kinds of fun outdoor activities -- a change of season is also a reminder to take a look at our current skincare routine to make sure we're still meeting our skin's needs.

It should go without saying, but I'm still going to say it -- first and foremost, make sure you're applying sunscreen every time you go outside. Hats and sunglasses will help protect your face from sun damage, too, but it's a good idea to get into the habit of applying a moisturizing sunscreen every morning.
Along those lines, as you're applying your moisturizing sunscreen, be sure to take care of the skin around your eyes by using your ring finger to apply moisturizer and makeup. Your ring finger is weaker than, say, your index finger, and therefore less likely to pull at the delicate skin around your eyes. The gentler you are, the better.

Help keep the pH balance in your skin by loading up on raw fruits and veggies. Foods that contain alpha-hydroxy acids, like these, help your skin protect itself against acne causing and drying bacteria.

Brows are important -- they can totally change the look of your face, helping you to look happier and more awake. Are yours sending the right messages? Learn everything you need to know about how to get great brows here.
