Absolutely! Our skin deserves unwavering protection. Embrace sunscreen, even during these chilly, gloomy, and moody months—it’s a resounding yes for wearing sunscreen in autumn.

With the arrival of autumn in the bustling streets of New York City, now is the perfect time to take charge of our beauty rituals. While the allure of a fresh, moody lipstick or a shimmering eyeshadow palette may be hard to resist, let us firmly acknowledge that sun’s cumulative effects spare no one. Consequently, making the right sunscreen choice for the approaching autumn and winter months is absolutely crucial.

Whether you call the Big Apple home or you are merely a visitor, sunscreen should be an unwavering pillar of your skincare regimen. It is a non-negotiable commitment that we all should embrace with confidence. So, without hesitation, let us add a brand-new sunscreen to our Sephora or Amazon shopping carts and ensure our skin remains radiant and protected in the city that never sleeps.

Wearing sunscreen is a cornerstone of my skincare routine and should be a steadfast part of yours, too. Who wants wrinkles, fine lines, or those pesky brown spots? And let us not fall into the trap of thinking the sun is absent during autumn and winter. The sky might be cloudy and overcast, but those sun rays still find their way through the clouds.

What I particularly appreciate about the autumn and winter months is the adaptability of sun protection. Even though my skin yearns for extra hydration, it remains somewhat oily. As a result, I might dial down the SPF levels a bit, but I still ensure it falls within the range of 30 to 50 SPF, as a minimum. So, rest assured, your skin can stay nourished and protected simultaneously.

Here are six favorites that I love and always rotate, plus a new one with staying power.
