Sunscreen Should Be Worn Year-Round—These 5 CVS Picks Are Perfect for Fall

Now that we're transitioning from summer to fall, I'm swapping out beach bikinis for city booties, baggy jorts for bootcut jeans, and lightweight moisturizers for creamier formulas. But one thing I'm not swapping out? My sunscreen. Dermatologists have told our editors time and again to wear sunscreen year-round to prevent signs of premature skin aging like dark spots and fine lines.

If you're about to run out of the sunscreen you've been using all summer (you have been using it, right?), pick up a new one for fall at CVS. The go-to drugstore carries a variety of sunscreens for a range of skin types, and they're priced so affordably that you can stock up on a few at a time.

Dermatologist-Tested Options

Dermatologists say sunscreen is a nonnegotiable part of a healthy skin routine year-round, not just for summer. Those dangerous UV rays never take a break. Whether you're shopping in person or online, you can find several dermatologist-tested (and editor-approved) sunscreens, no matter the season.

Options for a Variety of Skin Types

Just as different cleansers and moisturizers can accommodate dry, normal, oily, and combination skin, sunscreens do the same. At CVS, you can find sunscreens for all skin types, including lotions, gels, and tinted moisturizers. Some have a sheer, matte finish, while others are ideal under makeup. No matter what, you can trust that they’re effective at blocking UV rays.

Value-Forward Products

At CVS, buying new sunscreen for fall won't cost you a ton, but that doesn't mean your pick will feel cheap. The retailer's sunscreen selection is filled with editor-trusted brands that stand out for their formulas and contain the same ingredients as prestige labels at a fraction of the cost. With prices like these, wearing sunscreen every day will hardly make a dent in your beauty budget.
