No matter the weather or season, the scientists in the GH Beauty Lab recommend wearing sunscreen every single day. That's because the best defense against aging and sun damage is a good broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays. "Being consistent with use of moisturizer with SPF is most important when it comes to preventing signs of aging," explains Angelo Landriscina, M.D., a dermatologist in Brooklyn, New York.

But it can be difficult to remember to apply sunscreen on the days you're not basking by the pool or hiking a sunny trail. The solution? A daily face moisturizer with SPF mixed right in for moisturization and UV protection. Using a moisturizer with SPF is "like getting two steps done in one, so it makes your morning skincare routine quicker and easier," Dr. Landriscina says. For added benefits, seek out formulas that are made with anti-aging ingredients like peptides or antioxidants.
