SPF time..

There's little to get excited over when applying sunscreen. But when you think about the benefits it provides, applying sunscreen day in and day out suddenly starts to feel less like a mandatory chore and more like a deliberate choice.

Sunscreen, when properly applied, provides protection against sunburn and skin cancer, as well as cosmetic damage from ultraviolet light such as brown spots, wrinkles, and broken blood vessels.  Combine that with an SPF formula that leaves your skin feeling comfortable and silky, rather than heavy and ashen, and you're pretty much golden.

However, finding just the right formula for your skin can be tricky. Some sunscreens feel sticky, cause breakouts, or leave skin feeling greasy. It's a simple fact that when you don’t like how sunscreen feels, you’re less likely to wear it. That’s why we rounded up the top face sunscreens for every skin type.

For sensitive skin types, I recommend natural mineral sunscreens like this one to protect against harmful UV rays without any added irritation. It's formulated specifically with sensitive and reactive skin in mind, which is why you'll find the brand's exclusive complex of oat and botanical actives to keep discomfort at bay.

Dry skin types can wear it over a moisturizer for added hydration, while combination to oily skin types may choose to wear it on its own as a muisturizer with SPF protection.
