What’s the Best Face Sunscreen?

We hear it every day: What’s the best sunscreen in the market? If you could find the best sunscreen for you, one that you actually enjoy using – would that make you more consistent in using it?Protecting your skin against the deleterious effects of damaging UV rays, free radicals and blue light is so much more than slapping on that thick, white, gooey sunscreen and looking like an oil slick all day. Sunscreen technology has tremendously evolved in the past 10-15 years, and we can now enjoy light, sheer, cosmetically pleasing sun protection on a daily basis without the downsides of the older SPF formulas.  Ask dermatologists and they will tell you: “The best sun protection is the sunscreen you will use”. Well, that’s partially true, but there is so much more to sun protection than that.  I always say – sun protection starts with CLOTHING. Bonus points for wearing a hat, sunglasses and staying out of the sun in peak times of 10am-2pm. Whatever is left exposed to the sun (no matter the time of day) needs to be protected against the sun, but not all sunscreens are created equal. The choice of a daily sun protection is based on skin type (and whether you are acne-prone or not), product texture, scent, water resistance and lifestyle/choice of outdoor activities. BEST FACE + BODY SUNSCREENS Category: All Skin TypesIndication: Face & BodyTexture: CreamColor: Non TintedWaterproof: YesScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> EltaMD UV Sport SPF50 Category: All Skin TypesIndication: Face & BodyTexture: CreamColor: TintedWaterproof: NoScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> EltaMD UV Physical SPF41  Category: Dry skinIndication: Face & BodyTexture: CreamColor: Non TintedWaterproof: NoScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> EltaMD UV Facial SPF30 Category: Normal to Combination skinIndication: Face & BodyTexture: CreamColor: Non TintedWaterproof: NoScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> EltaMD UV Defense SPF45 BEST FACE SUNSCREENS Category: Normal skinIndication: FaceTexture: FluidColor: TintedWaterproof: YesScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion SPF50  Category: Combination skinIndication: FaceTexture: FluidColor: Non tintedWaterproof: YesScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical SPF50 Category: Acne Prone skinIndication: FaceTexture: Gel-CreamColor: Non TintedWaterproof: NoScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> EltaMD UV Clear SPF46 (non tinted)  Category: Acne Prone skinIndication: FaceTexture: Gel-CreamColor: TintedWaterproof: NoScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> EltaMD UV Clear SPF46 (tinted)  BEST SPECIALITY SUNSCREENS Category: SpecialtyIndication: Eye ContourTexture: MousseColor: TintedWaterproof: YesScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> SkinCeuticals Physical Eye Defense SPF50 Category: SpecialtyIndication: Eye ContourTexture: LiquidColor: TintedWaterproof: NoScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF35 Category: All Skin TypesIndication: Face and BodyTexture: PowderColor: Tinted (fair, medium, tan, dark)Waterproof: YesScent: Fragrance-freeSOLUTION ==> Colorescience Sunforgettable Powder Sunscreen Brush (4 tints available)
