Summer is right around the corner and with the warm weather and outdoor activities comes sunburns and unwanted allergies. Both can keep you from enjoying fun in the sun. Be smart and take the necessary precautions to make the most of those sunny days.

Here are some of the things I do to stay summer smart:

• Enjoy the sun – responsibly! Making a conscious choice to keep your skin happy and healthy is crucial all year, but especially in the summer season. Finding your right sunscreen can be challenging, but the new Coppertone ClearlySheer Whipped leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized. The rich and creamy foam absorbs quickly while protecting me from the sun’s harmful rays.

• Don’t sweat it. Staying active and exploring the outdoors is an integral part of a successful summer. But when you sweat, there are extra steps you need to take to be sun safe, including hydrating more often and choosing a sunscreen that can take the heat. For sunscreen, the Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Stick has you covered. It stays on strong when you sweat.

• Don’t overdo it. We all want to make the most of the beautiful weather but knowing your limits and taking appropriate breaks is important to enjoy the summer responsibly. Monitor your breathing and heat levels. If your body is telling you to rest and cool down, make sure you listen.

• Treat your seasonal allergies. With the blooms and buds comes pollen. A runny nose, sneezing and tearing of the eyes can force us indoors, depriving us from enjoying those glorious summer days. When my allergies start acting up, take Aerius. It gives me multi-symptom 24-hour relief. Aerius is non-drowsy so it can help you function normally, both at school and at work.
