Hydrate & Protect: SPF Packed Moisturizers We Love

If wearing SPF isn’t already a part of your daily skin care routine, there’s no better time than now to give it the very important spot it deserves. We’re not just talking about applying SPF when you’re at the beach or pool, we’re talking about wearing it every day—no matter what. Making it a habit to wear SPF daily doesn't have to be hard. One way to make a habit of wearing sunscreen is by associating it with a habit you already have: moisturizing. Here, we share four of our favorite SPF-packed moisturizers.

Not only can Vichy’s Idealia BB Cream help cover up unwanted blemishes with its mineral pigments, it helps to protect the skin from harmful UV rays with SPF 25. The BB cream also helps to shield the skin from free radicals and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Use this lightweight cream as a primer or in place of your foundation.

With it’s oil-balancing technology and lightweight texture, the Seaweed Mattifying Moisture Lotion from The Body Shop is perfect for a humid day when you may experience a little mid-day shine. Plus, thanks to SPF 15, it helps protect your skin from the sun’s dangerous UVA and UVB rays.

We can’t get enough of the Sublime Bronze Wash-Off Bronzer Cream from L’Oréal. It can give you a bronzed look without the commitment of a fake tan or the damaging effects of the sun—read: wrinkles, dark spots, and sunburns. The hydrating, instant-bronze formula contains broad spectrum SPF 20 and hydrating vitamin E.

With a combination of SPF 30 and antioxidants like Vitamin E and B5, the Bienfait Multi-Vital SPF Lotion from Lancôme not only helps your skin to feel soft and hydrated throughout the day, it also protects it from the sun!
