SKINCEUTICALS PHYSICAL EYE UV DEFENSE SPF 50

The delicate skin around the eyes is one of the first areas to show visible signs of skin aging, so it’s important to protect the area with sunscreen. Swapping out your rich, hydrating eye cream for one that offers SPF protection during the summer months is a move we fully support. One of our favorite eye creams formulated with SPF is SkinCeuticals’ Physical Eye UC Defense SPF 50. It’s non-migrating formula stays in place to help prevent eye irritation while helping prevent additional UV damage! Plus, its sheer universal tint helps even out your skin tone in the eye area.

KIEHL’S BUTTERSTICK LIP TREATMENT SPF 25

So you finally found your face & body sunscreen and your ideal eye cream formulated with SPF— what’s next? Your lips, of course! It’s important to keep your pout properly protected year-round, but especially during summer. Since the lips lack oil glands and melanin, they are especially susceptible to UV damage, which is why we recommend always having a lip conditioner formulated with SPF on hand! We love Kiehl’s Butterstick Lip Treatment SPF 25. Available in five different tints, this lip conditioner helps protect the lips from potential UV damage and adds a sheer layer of hydration. Be sure to reapply throughout the day as you would your facial sunscreen— at least once every two hours.
