Warmer, sunnier, longer days equal more skin exposure, which means you need to protect yourself from the elements while trying to look your best in the sweltering heat. Since you spend more time pool- and beach-side in the summer, you use things like sunscreen to keep burns away, and you likely rely on self-tanning products to fake a faux, bronzed glow. But what happens when these skin care products don't deliver?

It's not pretty, that much is for sure. Our readers can attest to that fact since they tried out this list of the 9 worst summer skin care products. They had to deal with everything from greasy, chunky, chalky-looking sunscreen to self-tanning products that yielded nightmare-ish streaks and Oompa Loompa-orange results. But lucky for you, you can read their comments to learn which summer skin care products to avoid.
