Sunscreen is an absolute necessity as part of your skincare routine all year round, but especially so when it comes to summer. 

When I say necessity, I mean NECESSITY. (Yes, that means all of you need to be wearing it, no excuses.) During the summer everyone is trying to be outside at all costs to bask in that summer sun. However, along with enjoying the beautiful weather, our skin is constantly exposed to the harsh sun. When skin is exposed to the sun without proper protection it can begin to age prematurely. This means you’ll start getting wrinkles, age spots, dark marks, and other skin concerns you probably associate with much older women. This is aside from the obvious hazard, an increased risk of skin cancer.

Furthermore, moisturizing during the summer is extremely important, as the hot summer sun dehydrates skin quickly. If you skip this step in the summer months, your skin suffers.

To help you address anti-aging and moisturizing in one single step, I’ve rounded up the 5 best moisturizers with SPF for all skin types. To be entirely accurate, although this post is titled “moisturizers with SPF”, half of these are sunscreens with added moisturizing ingredients, not the other way around, to ensure a high amount of SPF (so you don’t have to reapply 100x a day). Either way, the benefits — and results — are the same.
