12 Suncare Products to Protect Your Skin this Summer (that aren't Sunscreen!)

12 Suncare Products to Protect Your Skin this Summer (that aren't Sunscreen!)
by Truly Beauty

The sun can be detrimental to your skin. In fact, UV rays are one of the leading contributors of premature aging, triggering the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. While sunscreen is a must (you should be wearing SPF 30 daily — or SPF 50 if you’re fair), dermatologists recommend incorporating other UV-protective skincare products into your daily skincare routine to keep skin happy, healthy, and glowing.

UVA and UVB rays are both responsible for sunburns, skin cancer, and premature signs of aging. And they can harm your skin during any type of weather — even on cloudy days. If you’re not doing it already, make sure you use a water resistant, broad-spectrum SPF daily and reapply it every two hours.

Then add in three, four, or more of these sun protection products below to protect your skin even further. Some of these suncare products offer built in UV protection while others help to heal sunburned and UV damaged skin.

It’s made with a blend of brightening pineapple, antioxidant-rich algae, and anti-aging mango to deliver hydrated, glowing skin. Algae also contains UV-absorbing properties.

All 12 products will ensure your skin stays strong, healthy, and glowing in and out of the sun. Incorporate them into your daily skincare routine for best results. Make sure you also invest in a high-quality mineral or chemical sunscreen that’s fragrance-free, oil-free, and paraben-free.

FYI: Chemical sunscreens are products that use chemical filters to protect the skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The most commonly used chemical SPF ingredients include oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene, and octisalate.

Mineral sunscreens (or physical sunscreens) physically block ultraviolet radiation with ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. And they’re known for leaving a white cast on the skin. As far as which is the best sunscreen, both have their benefits, but physical sunscreens are most commonly found in drugstores.

When choosing a sunscreen spray or lotion, always choose both a facial sunscreen and a body sunscreen. Especially if you have oily skin, applying body sunscreen to your face can lead to excess shine and clogged pores. Choose a formula that’ll leave you looking more matte.

If you have a skin condition, speak to a dermatology professional for a product recommendation.

Happy summer beauty babes!
