It’s no
secret that you should wear sunscreen every single day (rain or shine!)
to prevent premature aging and reduce your risk of skin cancer.
But finding the right formula for your skin can be a challenge. Many
people complain that sunscreen makes their face feel sticky, flaky, or
take on a ghostly white sheen—which is a problem, since if you don’t
like the way your skin looks and feels when you’re wearing SPF, you’ll
be less inclined to slather it on.
To help you find your sunscreen soul mate, we reached out to
dermatologists to find out what products they personally use and
recommend to their clients. Here, their top picks.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Tinted Mineral Ultra Fluid Sunscreen
“My favorite facial sunscreens are
La Roche Posay Minerale SPF 50 with a tint because it has such a light formulation and doesn’t cause breakouts. I then use
Colorscience Sunforgettable Loose Mineral Sunscreen Brush Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($57, sephora.com)
on top. I couldn’t live without this product! I use it multiple times a
day like a pressed powder because it sets makeup and is an amazing SPF,
too. It always makes the face look polished (but not shiny) and
protected, no matter how many soccer and baseball games I’m at with the
kids.”
