Whatever your age, or the time of year, SPF is a must for both your appearance and (more importantly) your health. "Younger women haven't totally grasped the importance of sunscreen, and they'll regret that," warns Kristen Davis.

But, thankfully, it's never too late to start protecting your skin. Adds Sarah Jessica Parker, "[Sunscreen is] quite a recent discovery for me and now I can't live without it. It's also essential to drink lots of water and moisturize regularly."

Find your fix in one of these personal favorites:
