Cleanse with a gentle cleanser such as the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser ($14) or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser ($8).
Follow this with a light day moisturizer like Clinique Moisture Surge ($19) or Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer ($16) followed by an SPF such as Sun Bum Face Lotion SPF 50 ($13).
Alternatively, if you don't like layering too many products, try a moisturizer then a foundation such as Clarins Everlasting Cushion Foundation SPF 50 ($44) or Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream SPF 30 ($33) that contains SPF. It's much better to use a separate SPF, though, as in the amounts you use them, foundations and tinted moisturizers will never give you full protection. Remember, SPF protects you from aging as well as burning and it isn't just for sunny days.
