Skincare hasn't always been the number one priority in my beauty routine. But now that I'm approaching 25, things have changed. In other words, protection and prevention have become my top beauty goals. I'm trying to combat wrinkles, fine lines, and any damage to my skin barrier while also protecting my skin from the harsh UV rays this summer.

It seems like this would require more than a 10-step routine, but in reality, all you have to do is try a new serum, test out an SPF, or add a special ingredient such as vitamin C to bring your routine to the next level. Below, I've listed all of those products for you courtesy of SkinCeuticals, my go-to spot when I'm making seasonal changes in my routine. The skincare brand is celeb-loved, editor-approved, and downright effective. It has many options for you to choose from, but I've done some research and found 16 recommendations to help you prevent damage and protect your skin this summer regardless of your skin type.

Plus, from June 8 through June 16, you'll receive a gift with your purchase. I don't know about you, but my excitement levels just spiked. If you're ready to meet your skincare goals (and get some free goodies out of it), just keep scrolling.
