You know the drill: Before enjoying a day out in the sun, be sure to arm yourself with the right SPF product. As a rule of thumb: never go out during the day when the sun is at its peak without any sun protection on, and reapply as often as every two hours, or even more often when you're swimming. Don't forget to slather on the SPF even while you're outdoors or facing screens, because blue light has the ability to promote premature skin aging as well. 

This summer season, we round up five SPF picks to try, in stick, spray, and cushion form—innovative ways to make sure your skin is protected. Try one, or try them all! Have fun in the sun with these Editor-approved picks:


1. Fresh Skinlab K-Aloe Ice Cooling UV Sun Stick SPF70, Php 379, Shop here

Sun sticks are a convenient pick for retouching your sun care throughout the day, especially when you're by the pool or at the beach. This particular pick is one of our faves this season, as it has K-Aloe Ice and TheraCool Complex, a cooling sensation that refreshes upon every application. Use it in the beach or out in the city, as it has a nice matte finish.
