5 Best Sunscreens for Winter (Because Yes, You Still Need to Wear It Every Day)
November 20, 2020You’ve either already overhauled your summer skin-care routine for fall, or are in the process of doing so. One product that should definitely remain in your routine? Sunscreen.
Even though the sun doesn’t feel as warm this time of year doesn’t mean its rays aren’t affecting your skin. Your skin is susceptible to sun damage year round, so it’s imperative to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. If your go-to summer formula feels too greasy or heavy under your nourishing winter serums and creams, try one of the five sunscreens below that will fit perfectly into your winter skin-care routine.
CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 30
Hydration plus sun protection? Yes, please! This mineral face lotion has SPF 30 and contains ceramides to lock in moisture. The formula is oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores.
Lancôme UV Expert Aquagel Defense 50 Sunscreen
It’s hard to find a sunscreen that we genuinely love wearing but this one does the trick. The all-in-one, multitasking product primes and moisturizers your skin while providing SPF 50 sun protection.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Tinted Mineral Sunscreen for Face SPF 50
If you like a little coverage with your sunscreen (maybe to go foundation-free on those no-makeup days?), this tinted sunblock will have you looking flawless and glowing while keeping your skin protected. Best of all, it leaves behind no white residue and melts into skin.
Sunitique I’m Pure Cica Sunscreen
If your skin is more sensitive in the winter, you’ll want to reach for this 100% mineral sunscreen. The non-irritating formula contains soothing centella asiatica extract and skin tone-evening galactomyces ferment filtrate.
Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30
This sunscreen contains jojoba and avocado oils to nourish and moisturize skin and dries completely clear, making it an excellent primer for makeup.
