Summer is quickly approaching—yay! And you know what that means. All the time in the world for some fun in the sun. It also means you'll be diligently doubling up on sunscreen for three months. By now, beauty brands have recognized the importance of shielding every single part of your body from harsh UV rays. So, get ready to coat your skin from your head to your toes in SPF. Then reapply, and reapply again! Here, a few of our faves.

Be as independent on the beach as you are everywhere else you go. This handy sunscreen applicator allows you to reach your back area with the spray sunscreen of your choice without enlisting the help of a friend. Why didn't we think of that?
Clarins Sun Control Stick For Sun-Sensitive Areas SPF 30
Ever find that no matter how much sunscreen you apply, your nose, ears, or eye areas always manage to fall victim to sunburn? Or maybe you just haven't found an SPF that doesn't leave you with a face full of breakouts. If you struggle with either concern, you'll want to get your hands on one—or two!—of these sticks. The handy tube allows you to reach areas that are most susceptible to burns like your nose, under-eyes, ears, and lips. It's also infused with natural ingredients like shea butter, centella, and sunflower oil for those with sensitive skin.
Estée Lauder Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Face and Neck Lotion SPF 15
