No matter the season, sunscreen is a vital step that is important to include in your skincare routine. Whether it's a lip balm or makeup powder that contains SPF, putting in the extra effort can help with antiaging. Even when the sun isn't shining, there are harmful UVA/UVB rays constantly hitting our face, lips, hands, and more. To help you stay protected, we rounded up a list of the best products.
For Body
Tired of sprays, sticks, and lotions? There's a mousse for you. Try Supergoop! Super Power Sunscreen Mousse Broad Spectrum SPF 50 ($19). Reapplying a whipped-cream-like texture will make sunscreen more fun.
Hint Pear Sunscreen SPF 30
Try Hint Water's new Hint Pear Sunscreen SPF 30 ($24). Not only does it spray on clear, but it also smells amazing. It comes in three scents — pear, pineapple, and grapefruit — and each one leaves you feeling fresh and fruity.
Avene Hydrating Sunscreen Balm SPF 50+
This Avene Hydrating Sunscreen Balm SPF 50 ($16) stick is ideal for a busy bee who's always on the go. Keep it in your bag and apply this mess-free balm without feeling sticky after.
For Face
If you're looking for a clear sunscreen to wear every day, try the Glossier Invisible Shield SPF 35 ($34). Its silky texture quickly absorbs and feels like there is nothing even there.
Drunk Elephant Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense SPF 30
Protect your skin while staying moisturized with this Drunk Elephant Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense SPF 30 ($34). It contains skin-soothing ingredients such as aloe vera leaf and grape juice extract.
Dr. Jart Every Sun Day Sunscreen SPF 36
Achieve a dewy glow while blocking out UVB rays with this multitasking Dr. Jart Every Sun Day Sunscreen SPF 36 ($34). This cruelty-free cream is ideal for someone who has dry skin because it contains 70 percent more moisture than a classic sun cream.

Kate Somerville Uncomplikated SPF Makeup Setting Spray
Kate Somerville knows skin care first, so her Uncomplikated SPF Makeup Setting Spray ($38) contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin along with silicone powder, which reduces shine and creates a matte finish.
Coola Dawn Patrol Classic Makeup Primer SPF 30
The vegan and GMO-free Coola Dawn Patrol Makeup Primer ($42) blurs imperfections, fills in pores, and creates an overall soft focus finish on the skin. The transparent, antioxidant-rich formula also contains plant stem cells to hydrate and nourish, while offering sun protection at the same time.
