With only weeks away from the official start of summer, it’s more important than ever to not only make sure our skin is moisturized, but also that we protect ourselves from the sun’s harmful rays.
While it’s completely fine to soak up the sun by the pool or at the beach with a reliable sunscreen, it’s also key to put on a facial moisturizer with SPF every day too. Moisturizers with SPF protect the skin from UV damage in general, but we found a few that we love that have other added benefits like brightening, smoothing, and hydrating the skin.
Take a peek at the five moisturizers with SPF that will help you step up your sun protection game (and give you a glow)!
