Ask any dermatologist, makeup artist, perfect-skinned celebrity, or Southern Living editor: Sun protection is the most important step of skin care. Unless you don’t mind dark spots, aging faster, risking skin cancer, and tons of wrinkles, then don’t bother including sunscreen in your daily routine. We’re assuming you do, however, so we’ve been researching the best sunscreens, how to properly apply sunscreen, and other great products that include SPF protection to keep your skin looking healthiest. Even the biggest fans of the no-makeup makeup look undoubtedly reach for a trusty concealer from time to time. Whether to hide dark circles, cover red spots and discolorations, or smooth lines, a good concealer can be compared to a mini miracle. Since SPF protection is essential to a healthy skin care routine and concealer is essential to a complete makeup look (especially on Monday mornings), why haven’t we been buying concealer with SPF all along? The truth is, there aren’t very many concealers with SPF out there. But the sensitive skin under your eyes and any dark spots or pimples you’re trying to cover should be protected from the sun just as much as the rest of your face. These are the best concealers with SPF for every price point to keep you protected all day.
