Best of Beauty: Sunscreens for Everyone

We just got back from the Bahamas and BOY did we get some serious sun! I packed three containers of sunscreen for four days and we almost ran out – when you’re having some serious sun, you do not want to mess around. Apply often and liberally! What are our favorites?


Best of blemish prone skin: Neutrogena Clear Face
Your instinct may be to skip sunscreen to avoid blemishes, but experts say tat p rote ting skin for UV light actually can prevent breakouts! This one is oil-free and super light – and it’s actually can help fight breakouts with extracts of cinnamon and cedarwood!

Best for under makeup: L’oréal Sublime Sun
This formula has a high SPF, yet is so light you can layer it under your makeup and forget about it. Plus it has silicia powder to absorb excess oil, so its perfect for summer.

Best for a long day: Neutrogena Wet Skin
This unique formula can be applied directly to wet skin – it doesn’t run off or drip like many sprays do, so reapplication is a snap. Its perfect for a marathon pool day!

Best for athletes: Coppertone Sport Pro Series with DuraFlex
Forms a meshlike web over your skin – so sunscreen moves with your skin to provide complete coverage. And its waterproof and sweatproof, so it won’t run into your eyes, no matter how hard you’re sweating!
