Come snow or shine, SPF is your skin’s best friend. Sure, sunscreen is important for the beach, but ask any skincare expert, and they’ll tell you it’s just as crucial on the slopes. That’s because UV rays are sneaky—invisible, yet always present, they can bounce off the snow even on overcast days.

While UVB rays take it easy in the winter, UVA rays stick around, speeding up wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and other signs of aging—not to mention long-term risks like skin cancer. If you’re not already in the habit of giving your face daily SPF love, these game-changing formulas might just win you over.

 

The glow-y SPF stick

Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Balm Sunscreen Stick
An easy-to-apply SPF stick that doubles down on dewiness–what’s not to love? Simply glide this formula all over your face and neck prior to makeup application for a glow-y base, or over makeup when you need to reapply SPF throughout the day in a pinch.
