You might’ve spent summer slathering on SPF, but chances are, those pesky rays probably still managed to deposit a wrinkle or two for your golden years. Unless you live in a cave, it’s nary impossible to avoid it. Luckily, there are plenty of products on the market that target this specific problem and manage to reverse the damage the summer’s done.

While summer is coming to a close, your skin will still need to handle fall conditions and remain glowing through the next several months. These brightening products work to minimize damage by evening out the skin tone and brightening it up.
