18 Best Sunscreens
Our beauty writer found the best sunscreen overall, Neutrogena Dry Touch, along with all-purpose options for sensitive, dry and acne-prone skin.
As a general rule, Bordone always looks for sunscreens that are around SPF 40 or higher, since parents have a tendency to not apply or reapply often enough. “The amount of sunscreen you need to get the SPF amount on the bottle is quite a lot.” Oza says you should be fine over SPF 30, provided that you’re putting on enough, but could probably cap your search at about SPF 50, since past that point there isn’t much added sun protection.
Bordone recommends mineral sunscreens from bigger brands like Neutrogena and Aveeno because they’ve been around a long time and have been tested for efficacy. This Neutrogena one, for example, is designed for babies with a broad-spectrum SPF 50 shield, and is dermatologist-tested, water-resistant, and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin.
“I grew up in Australia so I know how important sunscreen is. I use Glossier, which comes on clear, it’s not shiny, it’s super light. It looks good underneath makeup too.”
