Yes, You Need to Use SPF—Here are 5 Sunscreens We’re Loving Right Now

Yes, You Need to Use SPF—Here are 5 Sunscreens We’re Loving Right Now

Keeping up with your sunscreen game is super important during spring and summer. Remember: Every day is a sunny day, even if it's cloudy. Sun protection is a key step in every skincare routine, and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day is essential to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.

And let me tell you, after slathering SPF on four tiny humans, it’s beyond easy to forget about it for yourself. But, don’t! The last thing you want to do is spoil your much-needed warm-weather fun with painful, red skin that can lead to nasty sun damage.

Besides preventing melanoma (and that’s kind-of a biggie!), sunscreen is a must if you want to reduce hyperpigmentation. While it’s not an ingredient that actually fades sun damage, it prevents further damage and allows your skin to tolerate many of the above ingredients, without causing more hyperpigmentation issues. Daily application of at least SPF 30 will help to shield your skin from UV light to control melanin production on a cellular level.

If you don’t already use SPF, get on it ASAP! With the newest generation of sunscreens ditching that dreaded white cast and greasy feel—there's really no good excuse to skip SPF anymore. Plus, there’s plenty of reef-safe options available at every price point.

Our advice? Look for a high-quality lotion and use it on your face and body (no exceptions!). Be sure to use a broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 daily, then reapply every two hours when out in direct sunlight. Try to stay out of the sun by seeking shade or wearing a hat and protective clothing whenever possible. Oh, and don’t forget high-exposure areas like your scalp, the tops of your ears and nose.

Need some help? Don’t worry, we did the work for you! We searched high and low for the very best sunscreens that blend seamlessly into your skin (sans white residue!). Take a look at our top picks below.
