Written by Sam
We’re on the cusp of fall, viewing summer sail off toward the horizon, but the sun hasn’t abandoned us yet. With the help of these sunny weather drugstore stars, soak up the last few weeks of sunshine safely, and look terrific without breaking the bank.

As summer fades into the ethereal fog and smoky incense of autumn, we still have a few weeks of warm weather left (hopefully!). check out these fantastic, low-cost drugstore finds that work a treat for sunbathing on the beach or strolling down city sidewalks under the midday sun.

1. Neutrogena Ultra sheer Dry-Touch sunblock ($9.49 for a 3-oz. tube in SPF 55)

You’ve been hearing it for years, so I won’t belabor the point — wear your sunscreen (even when it’s overcast)! There, it’s as easy as that. but it’s understandable why you might not want to with so numerous bad sunscreens on the market. many are thick, viscous, and greasy, leaving behind a slick, shiny film that neither feels nor looks good.

Not the Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry Touch line. These emollient, creamy lotions (they’re available in a range of SPFs) sink into skin practically immediately, offering ample moisture for all but the driest among us, without that oily residue previously synonymous with “sunscreen.” Its chemical sunscreen offers broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, and because it’s a chemical — rather than a physical — sunscreen, you won’t have to worry about looking ghostly in flash photography (like those impromptu shots at the beach bar after dark).

2. yes to Carrots Conditioning Lip Butter with SPF 15 Pomegranate ($3.47)

Hands down one of my favorite lip balms ever! Unlike numerous economical lip balms, this one’s neither slick nor waxy. It’s exactly what I think of when I think of good balms. It leaves lips with a satin finish (looks good on both men and women) that lasts for about four hours on me if I don’t eat or drink heavily over that time.

It may not smell exactly like pomegranates, but the faint, unobstrusive berry scent fades quickly, while still making the product taste pretty appealing to me. many importantly, it includes SPF 15 to keep your lips soft and smooth even after hours in the sun.

3. Neutrogena wet Skin sunblock Spray ($10.99 for a 5-oz. bottle in SPF 50)

Neutrogena has this whole sunscreen game down. This one’s for bodies and comes in an aerosol spray can. just hold it about six inches away from the skin, and depress the tab. The very fine mist leaves a small sheen on the skin that dries within minutes.

Keep the can moving in tight circles while applying to be sure you don’t miss a spot. You shouldn’t have to retrace your steps or worry about getting sand on your hands (LOVE those accidental exfoliating sand rubs).

And when it concerns reapplying after a couple of hours in the sun or surf, wet Skin sunblock makes it a cinch, even while swimming, as it cuts through water and still applies evenly on wet skin. You won’t even have to dry off completely after hopping out of the water to reapply.

4. St. Ives Fresh Skin Invigorating Apricot Scrub ($3.49 for a 6-oz. tube)

WARNING: This stuff is brutal on facial skin, as the exfoliants in it are actual shards of apricot pits with sharp, irregular edges that can tear pores and cause micro-cuts on the face; however, for the thicker, rougher skin on the rest of our bodies, I think it’s amazing!

Massage gently over damp skin (especially the legs, arms, feet, and stomach), and focus on areas where callouses and thick patches tend to form. You’ll have a glowing, soft, beach-ready bod in minutes (be sure to apply a good moisturizer after).

5. L’Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray extra strong Hold with UV Filter ($12.99 for an 11-oz. bottle)

Just as skin and nails are susceptible to UV damage, so is color treated hair. Left unprotected, it can become dull, dry, and can even change shades. Elnett Satin Hairspray helps in two ways, by not only serving as one of the best hairsprays on the market, offering amazing hold that still allows for natural movement and never leaves hair crunchy, sticky, or weighed down (no wonder you always see the pros using it backstage at fashion shows), but it also shields delicate strands from the the sun’s harmful rays. even virgin hair can benefit from a little extra UV protection.

Whether you’re planning one last long weekend of the season in St. Barts, going for a quick hike, or just running errands around town, these budget friendly products can keep you safe under the sun this fall and late summer. find them at your nearest CVS/pharmacy, Walgreens, Target, or Duane Reede store.
