1202 MAGAZINE’s SPF Picks Amid the Heatwave
Wearing sunscreen is a simple way to protect your skin from sun damage, aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin cancer. Since the nationwide heatwave, it’s imperative to wear SPF both outside and inside — especially if you’re in a space with large windows and all-day lighting. And it’s not only for hot summer days or on the beach; the UV Index is often high in the winter, too. Regardless of your skin color, you need to wear sunscreen. Black people: our skin is not immune to the sun. We need to wear it, too. The sun does not discriminate. 1202 MAGAZINE chose these ten SPFs based on complexion inclusivity, all-day wearability, hydration and absorption into the skin, and the lack of a grey cast on dark skin and greasiness.
