11 Beauty Products That Also Protect Your Skin from the Sun

11 Beauty Products That Also Protect Your Skin from the Sun

The most important part of your beauty routine is protecting your skin. But for many of us, we still can’t remember to apply sunscreen between all the serums, moisturizers, creams, and makeup we put on our face every day. Turns out, though, that our mothers were right to remind us to wear sunscreen, because harmful UV rays, pollution, and free radicals can affect your skin by damaging its natural texture, tone, and elasticity. Rather than adding an *another* step to your daily regimen, why not add sunscreen to a product you’re already using? There are so many beauty products from foundations to lip balms and eyeshadows that include the SPF we all desperately need. Before you step out into the sun, remember to do your safe skincare routine.
