The Best Sunscreens to Use This Fall

It’s easy to assume that as the weather gets colder, the skincare step of applying sunscreen becomes obsolete. It doesn’t. It doesn’t matter to the sun, rain, or shine, the UV rays will still be cast down and cause damage to the skin. This damage, such as sunburns, can seem benign at first but as the years go by this can severely damage your skin and the aging process overall. Wrinkles, dry skin, and more serious issues such as skin cancer can all be correlated to sun exposure. Or more specifically sun exposure without any sunscreen. Protect yourself this Fall and invest in one of our four favorite sunscreens we love (and use daily!)

1. Best for High UV: Kiehl’s Better Screen 

If you’re living in an area with a high UV or lots of sun, Kiehl’s Better Screen is a great option. Containing plenty of zinc, it goes onto your skin white and once rubbed in will even out with the rest of your skin tone. It’s a great sunscreen for all types of skin, from oily to dry, and blends into all skin tones while lending plenty of protection against the sun’s UV rays. 

2. Best with Make-up: Goops Unseen Sunscreen 

Goop’s Unseen Sunscreen is the perfect choice for layering under make-up. The clear sunscreen protects against the sun, while also providing a base for your foundation. If you have sensitive skin, this gel-like sunscreen is perfect to try, particularly in colder months as it has an almost moisturizing effect on dry skin. 

3. Best Travel: Vacation Classic Sunscreen 

If the idea of Fall coming around the corner leaves your skin crawling with a need to embrace the last moments of Summer, take the season with you in Vacation’s Classic Sunscreen. A great travel option with plenty of sizes, the tropical scent will delight you as your skin is bundled in protection against the sun. 

4. Best Budget: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer 

Being on a tight budget isn’t an excuse to neglect good skin care. Neutrogena recognized this and created an excellent SPF for consumers who want something under $10. This Ultra Sheer Sunscreen blends into the skin well and gives lasting protection…making you wonder why you’d spend so much on any other sunscreen this Fall.
