BEST ANTI-AGING SUNSCREEN
It’s estimated that 80 percent of skin aging is caused by the sun, which is why ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica ($55) was created. Not only does it protect with SPF 50+, but it also uses DNA Repairsomes to restore existing sun damage.
BEST SUNSCREEN FOR GLOWY SKIN
Swipe on hyaluronic acid–infused Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 ($36) and bask in the celestial—but not glittery— sheen as the light hits your face in all the right places.
BEST POWDER SUNSCREEN
A newcomer to the sunscreen scene, Larkly SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen ($32) captured our attention with its invisible finish, sustainable efforts and refillable packaging— and it’s beyond easy to use.
BEST SUNSCREEN FACE MIST
Our favorite—and easiest—way to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, COOLA Organic Refreshing Water Mist SPF 18 ($36) also shields against blue light and pollution, and smells like a tropical vacation.
BEST SUNSCREEN FOR DARK SKIN TONES
A super sophisticated mineral formula, EleVen by Venus Williams Unrivaled Sun Serum SPF 35 ($50) was dreamt up by the tennis legend to offer a no-white-residue option with a whopping 25-percent zinc. To put it plainly, it’s a sunscreen grand slam.
BEST SUNSCREEN STICK
Colorescience Total Protection OIL-FREE SUNSCREEN Sport Stick SPF 50 ($29) is a beach bag—and daily—essential for active types. What we love most: it’s all-mineral yet blends in so invisibly, it can even be used on the lips.
BEST OIL-FREE SUNSCREEN
Protecting against damaging UV rays, blue light and pollution, oil-free Versed Guards Up SPF 35 ($22) boasts 15.2-percent non-nano zinc, a natural finish that’s not too matte or glowy, and zero white cast.
BEST POST-SUN TREATMENT
We’ve all had those days where we “accidentally” got too much sun. Theraderm OPC Reparative Serum ($115) utilizes potent antioxidants called OPCs to reduce redness, inflammation and possible skin damage when used after a sunburn.
