Sunscreen is an essential in our daily routines. Not just for beach days or summer holidays, sunscreen should be your best friend for commutes, coffee runs, and every screen-lit hour indoors. In 2025, formulas are lighter, smarter, and better suited to our climate, skin tones, and skincare habits. From tinted SPFs that double as makeup to sticks you can apply in a taxi, this year’s sunscreens are about ease and consistency. Especially in a region where UV levels are high year-round, the right SPF is the baseline for keeping skin healthy and even-toned long-term.
