We know the sun is damaging to the skin, but there are products out there that can help mitigate the damage. Of course, it’s always better to stay indoors, but that’s not realistic, too, now that it’s summer.

 

Here are 10 products that would help make our forays out in the sun safer and more enjoyable.

 

1. MAC Face Protect Protection Visage SPF 50/FPS 50

 

Apply before makeup, and it will actually make your makeup stay longer while also protecting your skin. Invest in a primer that has high SPF and controls oil. You won’t have to keep applying blush or having to worry about runny makeup.

 

2. Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer, oil-free

 

For those who have oily skin, this is the product for you. It offers light moisture, sheer coverage and sun protection in one. This gel-based formula is also a perfect foundation alternative.

 

3. Clinique SPF 30 body cream

 

After a shower, slather your body with this cream to protect yourself from both UVA and UVB radiation. Clinique’s innovative SolarSmart complex is said to trigger an anti-aging repair process while also providing skin with a high level of defense against the aging and burning effects of UVA and UVB rays.

 

4. Shu Uemura POREraser

 

This UV under base mousse debuted 20 years ago and is the first of its kind. It smoothens the skin and helps get rid of pores for easy makeup application, while also protecting the skin. SPF 35++

 

5. Benefit Benetint Lip Balm SPF 15

 

The outer layer of our lips is so thin in its natural state that it needs adequate shielding from the sun. Though it will rarely tan, it will get burnt. Sometimes even freckles will appear due to overexposure. Protect your lips as you do your skin everyday with a good lip balm like Benefit’s Benetint.

 

6. Shiseido Eye Cream SPF 32

 

This product is a rich eye-area cream that minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and enhances skin’s radiance while providing exceptional protection against UVA/UVB rays, to prevent signs of premature aging.

 

7. Chanel Vitalumiére Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15

 

Although this product is exceptionally delicate and light, a “second-skin” perfecting result is achieved. Complexion appears amazingly even, fresh and energized. The skin glows with seemingly nude beauty.

 

8. Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil-Free Lotion Spray SPF 15

 

Formulated with SPF 15, this convenient spray lotion offers moderate protection for skin worshipers who like to play outdoors, whether on the beach or by the pool. This lightweight, oil-free spray glides on easily to promote a natural-looking, long-lasting tan while protecting skin from UVA and UVB rays and the drying effects of prolonged exposure to the sun.

 

9. Estee Lauder DayWear Advanced Multi-Protection Antioxidant Creme SPF 15

 

This advanced moisturizer reduces the first signs of aging, fine lines, dullness and discoloration. It helps safeguard the skin with advanced broad-spectrum sunscreen and UVA defense.

 

10. Make Up For Ever UV Prime SPF 50/PA+++
