Get Your Sunscreen Out of Hibernation You know that you're supposed to wear sunscreen all year long. But let's be real: When you haven't seen more than a sliver of sun in weeks, it's easy to justify skipping the stuff.
Now that it's spring and the sun has gone from guest star to main cast member, it's time to reach in the back of your medicine cabinet and grab the sunscreen. Two important things to remember: Reapply often and hit up all of your body parts that see the sun.
"Sunscreen only lasts two or three hours at best, so keep a powder sunblock in your purse or car and swish it on your face," Baxt says. "It'll look like you touched up your makeup, and you've got more sunscreen on."
And when you're applying, don't forget these spots: your neck, chest, hands, the backs of your ears, and the back of your neck if you wear your hair up, Marí says.
Rating higher than usual .. kind of a bum kick (to me, not y'all). I forget to put the Retin-A cream down and pick up the Sunscreen .. got to try that bareMinerals. Some very good suggestions/reminders here ... for everyone (ok, especially me .. the hard-headed one).

I actually wear SPF all year long but usually keep it at SPF15 for winter. Getting excited to bust out the SPF50-70-100

Not sure about this article because my country is hot and sunny all year round, unless it's raining.

Excellent suggestions! I especially like Fresh's "Sugar Scrub" to exfoliate and soften my skin!
