WHEN SUMMER ENDS, most of us pack away our sunscreen with our beach towels, thinking the weaker winter sun can't harm our skin. Not so. Winter conditions like snow glare can actually increase your exposure to harmful UV rays. To protect your skin year-round, try one of these new formulas: You can brush on mineral sunscreen in COLORESCIENCE SUNFORGETTABLE SPF 30 ($50; colorescience.com); wash on a light layer with 24-7 ICE SHIELD FACIAL CLEANSER WITH SUNSCREEN SPF 15 ($48; freeze247.com); or dab on a foam like OLAY DEFINITY DEEP PENETRATING FOAMING MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 15 ($28; at drugstores). Make sunscreen a regular part of your routine and you'll save your skin from the damaging, aging effects the sun.
