Additional tip: Always use SPF as Ultraviolet rays from the sun transform the cells in your skin—on cloudy and cold days, too. These UV rays will become the reason for sunspots, wrinkles, sunburns, dry patches, moles, and even cancer. It’s important to protect your skin from these rays with SPF, whether it’s packed inside your daily moisturizer or added as an additional layer on the top of your skin will keep your skin hydrated.

If you’re only outside during the go back and forth or a quick lunch, then a lightweight SPF should meet your requirements, but if you hit the beach or are outside in direct light for extended periods of time (an hour or more), then you should consider something higher—SPF 30 will work best for you.
