Body Lotion SPF 50
EleVen by Venus Williams Game.
Bonus points, per the experts:This lotion is an all-around great pick for folks with sensitive skin.
Mineral SPF filters like zinc oxide are derms picks for easily irritated skin.
This lotion is also formulated with soothing allantoin and bisabolol, which can help calm redness and irritation.
It also smells terrific and is super easy to rub in.
Sunscreen powders like this one from one of our favorite drugstore brands, Hawaiian Tropic, make protection easy.
Brush on the mineral-based powder over your makeup and you wont even know its therepromise.
Silica, a mattifying agent that derms love for oily and acne-prone skin.
One tester said:I love this sunscreen powder!
I like how it doesnt take up much space in my bag, and it smells really nice.
Ill be purchasing another one of these when mine runs out.
One tester said:This sunscreen is amazing.
It also comes in a cute and convenient aluminum tin.
The lightweight, moisturizing formula and long-lasting sun protection wowed our testers.
(And its worth noting, using a high SPF is not an excuse to never reapply.)
Whats more, it does have fragrance, which can be irritating for folks with sensitive skin.
One tester said:I love this sunscreen!
It comes out as a light, white lotion thats quickly absorbed into the skin.
It looks and feels more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen.
My skin is very sensitive, but Ive been using it on my face without an issue.
It also has a nice clean fragrance to it.
Beloved for its silky texture, it works as a protective primer under makeup or on its own.
Typically mineral sunscreens leave my acne-prone skin even more inflamed and congested, but this did the opposite.
The formula is light and melts into the skin with a few massages.
Its great under makeup and doesnt leave a greasy finish.
The silky texture was what made me fall in love with the SPF.
I think this will last well over a month, even with multiple applications in a day.
Model Winnie Harlows Cay Skin brand is here to change that.
This facial SPF became our testers holy grail after just one useand its easy to see why.
One tester said:OMG, this is the absolute best sunscreen that Ive ever used, hands down.
The SPF itself is supersmooth and soft.
I will recommend this to everyone, but especially my brown-skin sisters!
This no-frills spray SPF won over our testers because of its dry-touch texture and convenience.
Bonus points, per the experts:This spray uses reef-safe chemical SPF filters.
One tester said:In terms of convenience, nothing beats a sunscreen spray.
Just…keep your eyes closed when you spray, just?
Its also fragranced, which can be irritating for people with sensitive skin.
It didnt make my skin greasy or leave a white cast.
Youll also find moisturizing jojoba and argan oils, and shea butter for a softening boost.
This balm makes my lips feel moisturized and smooth even after it soaks in.
Ill absolutely be toting this to the beach (and everywhere else) this summer.
EltaMDs mineral SPF stick is a beach-bag staple for quick reapplicationand its formulated with skin-loving ingredients.
One tester said:This was great!
Like a grown-up version of the face stick we all grew up with.
I really like the size and how portable it is to throw in a bag or backpack.
It rolled on smoothly and my face enjoyed the process of applying sunscreenoften a rarity!
One tester said:This is a great product.
I love that it has antioxidants in it so that there is additional sun protection beyond the SPF.
It offers 30 SPF through mineral filters and comes in cute, easy-to-dispense packaging.
One tester said:Most sunscreen/foundation hybrids are low-coverage tinted moisturizers at best, and greasy at worst.
The brand has a wide shade selection too.
This is one of the few times that Ive actually finished a foundationand I immediately ordered another one!
