These Products Make It So Easy to Reapply Sunscreen Halfway Through the Day
Colorescience
Allow us to introduce you to one of Dr. Engelman's favorite brush-on sunscreens. "This 100 percent mineral sunscreen provides protection while still feeling lightweight," she explains. "It is also oil-free, calming with niacinamides, and it's tinted, so the powder easily blends in with makeup or your skin tone."

Supergoop!
This best-selling setting spray has a new look and continues to be one of the most popular SPF sprays across the board. It's ultra-lightweight, smells just as light, and won't melt your made-up complexion during your mid-day spritz.
Shop Now: Supergoop! Defense Refresh (Re)setting Mist SPF 40, from $14, sephora.com.
Coola
UV rays aren't the only types to worry about. These days, blue light from our screens plays a deleterious role, as well. If you spend the majority of your day next to a window and in front of a screen, it's important to protect against both. Coola's five-star option fights those technology-induced rays, but isn't as powerful against the sun: The formula contains just SPF 18, so make sure you're topping it with a stronger product if you're planning on spending more of your day outside.
Shop Now: Coola Full Spectrum 360° Refreshing Water Mist Sunscreen SPF 18, $36, spacenk.com.
Tarte
Instead of using a setting spray at the end of your makeup routine, use this mineral powder SPF to get the job done. It promises to keep foundation put for up to 12 hours—though be sure to reapply every two to three to keep your complexion protected, should you be outdoors.
Shop Now: Tarte "SEA" Set & Protect Mineral Sunscreen Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $28, sephora.com.
SETZ
Here we have another of Dr. Engelman's favorites. "It is the first individually-packed, on-the-go solution for SPF protection," she says. "It uses a specialized foam to absorb oil on one side. Then, flip it over and use the mineral UVA/UVB broad-spectrum SPF 30 to re-apply."
Shop Now: SETZ Sunscreen Mineral Powder SPF 30, $10, setzbeauty.com.
Glossier
This product from Glossier was made for those who don't like anything about conventional sunscreen—hence the water-gel formulation. Reapply this transparent formula after lunch and watch it bring a subtle dew to your skin, whether or not you're wearing base.
Shop Now: Glossier Invisible Shield Sunscreen, $25, glossier.com.

Dr. Barbara Sturm
While those who skip daily foundation will benefit most from this serum by Dr. Barbara Sturm, the innovative formula, packed with green tea and vitamin E, is light enough to be pressed gently over makeup.

Applying SPF at the start of the day isn't enough—make sure you're properly protecting your skin by adding an additional layer a few hours later.
