    Time flies when you're having fun in the sun. One minute you're happy as a clam, playing volleyball or reading a book on the beach, the next you're stomping down the aisles at Walgreens in search of aloe for that gnarly sunburn you've earned. You already know that too much sun exposure is harmful, and you've had enough peeling shoulders in your time to recognize the importance of sunscreen, but even the most seasoned of sun-baskers have a hard time keeping of track of their last sunscreen application or even knowing exactly when it's time to call it a day and take cover. Enter UVSunSense sun monitoring wristbands. Worn on your wrist in addition to a nice slathering of SPF 15 or higher, the band's surface changes color to alert you when it's time to either slop on some more sunscreen or find the nearest shady spot ASAP. Sure, they might be a pretty dorky-looking excuse for a bangle, but they look a heck of a lot cooler than a blistering lobster complexion!

    Price: $6.89 for a pack of 7
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the UVSunSense Wristbands to the Hive.

    I don't know about you, but as unhealthy as the sun's harmful rays are, I have a hard time staying out of the sun on those blessed days when it actually decides to come out of hiding and make an appearance. After all, who can resist a fresh sun-kissed glow (when it doesn't start out as a gnarly burn, that is)? Luckily for us sun-hungry bathing beauties, plenty of our favorite top-of-the-line cosmetics lines have hopped onto the bronzing bandwagon and offer loads of options when it comes to getting that summer-worthy warm color sun-free, faking it on a day-to-day basis with natural-looking bronzer or shimmery body makeup, and sunscreen and after-sun lotion for safer outdoor basking. From Lindsay Lohan's anticipated new self-tanner Sevin Nyne to a Tarte bronzing stick made just for channeling those sun-toned summer legs, sun-free is always safer, but you can still be smart and play it safe while in the sun without having to stay winter-ashy all summer long! Check out the slideshow for the full collection of our favorite sunny and sunless products of the season!

    Healthy Style: 5 Non-Icky Sunblocks Help You Get Your Summer On

    It€™s official, summer is here, so break out the bikinis and beach bags because it is time to boogie down! Who doesn€™t love lazy days sitting poolside and long drives with the top down? But along with the sun fun, you cannot forget to protect your delicate dermis from icky UV rays. But sunblock can be a bit of a gross endeavor. Often, it€™s just too thick, and can leave every pore feeling clogged. And the so-called "easy" spray-on kind has such high alcohol content it can leave a layer of mystery film on your skin. Lucky for you, I have personally tested five products that protect your skin AND feel fabulous going on. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for my picks!
