ICYMI, sunscreen isn't just for summer or your spring break beach vacation. SPF should be a regular part of your skincare routine—no matter the month. 

Even if the sun feels weaker (or is hidden behind January clouds), the UV rays are still very much doing their thing. Oh, and if there's snow and ice on the ground, the light can even reflect back onto your skin, causing more damage. You don't want that.

If you don't already have a good sunscreen in your skincare routine, consider this your sign to start incorporating your SPF in-between serums—or better yet, find one that does both. 

Keep scrolling to shop the most hydrating sunscreen formulas in the game—including SPF faves from First Aid Beauty, La Roche-Posay, Glow Recipe, and more beauty faves.
