Applying sunscreen daily is one of the most important steps in any skincare routine. It’s the best way to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. This includes protecting your skin from sunburn and preventing premature signs of aging including lines and wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

You should use about half a teaspoon of sunscreen on your face daily and reapply every two hours while in direct sunlight.

It should be applied as the last step of your skincare routine, following treatment lotion, repair serum and moisturizer.

These formulas are a great way to apply sunscreen on your face daily while also getting skincare benefits. We recommend applying moisturizer with SPF every morning, in addition to a higher-level sunscreen formula, and allowing it to absorb into the skin.

The best Estée Lauder sunscreen for you depends on what benefits you’re looking for in an SPF formula. Our Perfectionist Pro sunscreens have UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum defense and feature anti-oxidants that help fight against visible damage from indoor/outdoor pollution, including ozone and micro-dust, and free radical damage from other environmental aggressors such as blue light.

If you want hydrating, radiance-boosting benefits and some sun protection, also reach for one of our face moisturizers with SPF like our Revitalizing Supreme+ Creme SPF 15. We even have foundation with SPF. Choose a sheer coverage formula like Double Wear Sheer Long-Wear Makeup SPF 19 or a hydrating, buildable coverage foundation with SPF like Futurist Hydra Rescue Makeup SPF 45. Use these in combination with higher SPF products in your skincare routine.

Use an oil-based cleanser in your skincare routine. Our Advanced Night Cleansing Balm can gently and effectively melt away sunscreen.
