Sunscreen is a year-round must-have, but especially helpful when the weather gets warmer and the sun stays out longer. Even if you’re working from home every day and saving your leisurely walks or daily run for the early evening, having the best sunscreens on hand ensures that your skin is shielded from sun damage, seen and unseen. And this year, the options are more expansive than ever.
Understandably so, sunscreen isn’t exactly fun to apply. The ones we used as kids smelled weird and added an extra step to our routines. Sadly, a lot of them still leave behind an ugly white-gray cast that only looks worse when we attempt to cover it with makeup. Thankfully, brands have been upping their game in recent years so we’re not stuck with the old-school traditional formulas we tend to skip. Now, we have setting sprays infused with SPF protection, mousse and mist formulas that leave us feeling refreshed and lightweight lotions that blend down into a clear finish.
Ahead, I’ve gathered some of the best sunscreens to launch so far this year for every budget, some of which also provide protection from the blue light pollution emitted from our laptops and phone screens.
