By now you probably already know that sunscreen is a must for your everyday beauty routine. Not only does sunscreen prevent premature aging, but it also prevents getting skin cancer from the damaging UVA and UVB rays that are unavoidable when you step out of your house. Needless to say, if you’re not using it, you should start asap.
So what kind which SPF should you be using? We’ve made a list of our Top 5 favorite sunscreens with some even catered to your skin type or ideal finish.
AMOREPACIFIC Natural Protector SPF 30/PA+++, $65. This is a great sunscreen if you have sensitive skin on the dry or normal side. It guards the skin while providing moisture and is super lightweight.
Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum SPF 30/PA+++, $42. If you’re looking for a daytime moisturizer with SPF, this serum is your best bet. It caters to all skin types as it’s lightweight and has a matte finish. Perfect alone or under makeup.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer® Dry-Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 55, $9.49. Sunscreens don’t have to be expensive to be good and this one is the perfect example. It’s under $10 and has a great matte finish that you’ll forget you even have it on. The SPF is high so you know your face is well guarded.
CLARINS UV Plus HP Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen Multi-Protection, $41. This sunscreen is great for those who are looking for added skin benefits while fighting the sun’s harmful rays. While it’s still only a sunscreen (not moisturizer with SPF), it has antioxidants to fight wrinkles for younger looking skin. It can also be found with a hint of tint for a flawless complexion.
Clinique Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen Face Cream, $21. Clinique has long made sunscreens that are favorites of women everywhere. This SPF is great for when you’re doing outdoor activities like a trip to the beach or running outside. It’s oil-free and sweat-resistant so it won’t budge.
It’s recommended by The American Academy of Dermatology that everyone apply a sunscreen with an SPF30 for everyday use and an SPF50 before engaging in outdoor activities to prevent aging and skin cancer. Keep these things in mind before you purchase your next sunscreen for healthy, young skin.
