 I know there's still a month or so of summer left, but it's time to start revamping your  skincare routines  again. The cold weather days will be here sooner or later, and the one thing I won't play about when it arrives is my skin. And neither should you. From now until it comes, I'll be on the hunt for ultra-nourishing serums and  thick moisturizers . However, the one product that'll carry over from summer is  EltaMD's sunscreen .

 To this  beauty writer , sunscreen and cleansers fall in the same non-negotiable category. Doesn't matter what time of year it is, I'm always going to use  sunscreen  the same way I'm always going to wash my face. Just because summer is over doesn't mean my journey with sun protection ends, and neither should yours. If anything, it's during the next half of the year that you can really start seeing changes to your skin with the continued use of an SPF. And while there are countless options that I adore, it's  EltaMD UV Clear  that'll help me close out the year.

 While the seasons are different, the routine is largely the same; it's just the products that change. During the summer, I usually reach for a very lightweight moisturizer, then finish with a dewy sunscreen or a 2-in-1 because I want to feel like there's as little product on my face as possible. However, in the upcoming months, I don't mind when my face feels like it's slugged with moisturizers; in fact, I encourage it. But because I will be using thicker serums and creams, I need a sunscreen that blends in well and isn't as heavy, so it doesn't disrupt the skincare I applied beforehand. 

EltaMD's UV Clear  is just the right formula for all-year-round wear. It's a great consistency — not too thin, not too thick — and blends in beautifully on all skin tones. It works well for irritated, sensitive, and acne-prone skin while offering an SPF of 46. Not to mention it's the number one dermatologist-recommended professional sunscreen brand on the market. Now, traditionally, a full-size version costs upwards of $40; however, the brand decided to make a mini-size for less, so you can try it and see if you'd love it as much as I do as we head into the cold weather season. You can score the  UV Clear Untinted Sunscreen  for just $23 on Amazon right now. And if you already adore it, you might as well add the  two-pack  to your cart too.
