For all those who has dry, damaged skin — read further. There is about one more more month of having fun in the hot summer sun left, and about two more weeks until Labor Day weekend. Whether you’re planning to make the most out of an summer endless, or you’re traveling for Labor Day weekend, three plus months of sun and fun can definitely leave your skin damaged, discolored, dry, and full of dead skin and sunscreen buildup. You can opt for the dermatologist for expensive skincare sessions that can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, and then paying more money to purchase skincare products recommended by your dermatologist. The smarter route is to try a highly effective, doctor designed skincare solutions to revitalize and rejuvenate your summer exposed skin, such as Dr. Zein Obagi ZO® Skin Health

Dr. Zein Obagi ZO® Skin Health is founded by a world renowned dermatologist and skincare expert, and is definitely a must try. Below are some products to protect the skin of those who are going away to somewhere hot and sunny for the Labor Day weekend, and to help those who have been sunbathing for the past three months to reveal radiant, healthy-looking skin. The fall and holidays are coming up. Definitely give these a try if you want to bring your pre-summer glow back — so you can make a great impression at your significant other’s family Thanksgiving dinner or at the office party.

  • Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30 (30 mL, $65): This multiple-defense sun protection system shields skin from UVA/UVB and HEV (high energy visible) light, and IR-A (infrared rays), all while smoothing skin and minimizing the look of lines and wrinkles. The sunscreen features a universal tint to ensure skin is never left with white streaks, and harnesses natural melanin’s photo-protective compounds. Use the two-in-one product as both a sunscreen and a primer, leaving skin soft, silky and ready for makeup.
  • Oclipse Smart Tone SPF 50 (45 mL, $70): This highly advanced sunscreen features a sheer tinted primer to match any skin tone without the white streaks of traditional sunscreen. A blend of iron oxides and mica create a pressure-released color system for natural-looking, customizable color. Formulated to protect against both UVA/UVB and HEV (high energy visible) light, and IR-A (infrared rays), the sunscreen features an exclusive 12-hour time-release antioxidant complex to guard against photodamage.
  • Oclipse Sun Spray SPF 50 (118 mL, $65): Guard against photodamage with this broad-spectrum sunscreen.

  • Offects Exfoliating Cleanser ($39): Formulated with exfoliating micro-beads and the free-radical-fighting antioxidant vitamin E, this skin-smoothing cleanser not only removes dead skin cells and washes away surface oils and impurities, but it also stimulates the production of collagen, which is key after months of collagen-destroying sun exposure.
  • Offects Exfoliating Polish ($67): Packed with the antioxidant protection of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as ultra-fine magnesium crystals to promote healthy circulation and increase epidermal turnover, this exfoliating scrub instantly polishes your complexion, restores its healthy glow, and leaves you with smoother, softer, more even-toned skin.
  • Oraser Correcting Hand and Body Scrub ($65): This dual-action scrub utilizes both chemical and manual exfoliators to reveal your most radiant, renewed skin along with powerful sugar crystal which physically remove dead skin cells. The scrub is also infused with mega-moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, mango seed oil, and rosemary leaf extract, as well as cetyl dimethicone, a silicone that helps enhance the skin’s moisture barrier and lock in long-term hydration. It’s just what your hands and body need after a summer of fun in the sun.

Thanks for visiting my blog: Lifestyle411.net I'm currently a lifestyle contributor for Thrive Global and am Amazon Influencer. I was a contributor for Huffington Post and Examiner.com. My stories can be found at https://www.thriveglobal.com/authors/103-beverly-lim --- and huffingtonpost.com/author/beverly-lim --- I'm a super mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and an awesome BFF. I stay organized, thanks to my wireless assistant: smartphone, tablets, and laptop. In addition to beauty, fashion, technology and traveling, I love arts & culture, food/wine, and indulge in very much needed "me" time whenever humanly possible! Dining out, cooking/entertaining family and friends throughout the year makes me happy. I'm addicted to shopping in order to have whatever required to compliment my every mood. I enjoy a good jog, especially after a challenging work day so I can release endorphins. A great session on the treadmill or bike makes me smile from cheek to cheek, no matter how stressful of a day I had! When I'm home and after my family and pets are asleep, I pamper myself with a facial mask, hair treatment and lose myself in an aromatherapy bubble bath. It's like being on a dreamy spa getaway -- till the family wakes up and it's time for me to feed the kids, walk the dogs, to go work... I just loving sharing new finds with all those who have the desire to discover the best of the best that life has to offer!
