Think you only need to worry about sunburn during summer? Think again! The truth of the matter is that the majority of the UV damage we receive isn't always from spending an entire day at the beach. It's from your day-to-day activities—driving in your car, for instance—or during cooler days when sun protection is likely the last thing on your mind.
To keep your skin protected, experts advise to use sunscreen all year round. Make sure you're using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, higher if you're outdoors. And remember, no matter how high the SPF, the FDA recommends reapplying sunscreen every two hours for optimal protection. For the best sunscreens to use all year round, we've compiled our favorites below.
