The Best Face Sunscreens For Every Skin Type, According To The Experts - Forbes

There’s no denying the importance of wearing broad spectrum sunscreen when outdoors, as it covers a range of needs from sun protection to wrinkle prevention. But for it to work effectively, there are some things to keep in mind. “Chemical sunscreens like oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate and avobenzone must be absorbed into the skin before they can protect us from the sun’s radiation,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Heather Rogers, co-founder of Modern Dermatology in Seattle and founder of Doctor Rogers RESTORE skincare. “These ingredients protect the skin by absorbing the sun’s rays, then converting them into heat that is released from the skin.”

Mineral sunscreens (also known as physical sunscreens) shield the skin using natural sun-blocking ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. “They sit on top of your skin and block the sun like reflectors,” Rogers notes. She adds that the best ones have broad spectrum SPF coverage of 30 or greater, to defend powerfully enough against both types of ultraviolet rays.

Regardless of which you choose, both chemical and physical sunscreens are effective forms of sun protection that should be used regularly. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best face sunscreens, which include top picks from Rogers and dermatologists Dr. Onyeka Obioha and Dr. Muneeb Shah.

Best Face Sunscreen Overall

LA-based dermatologist and advisor at Glory Skincare Dr. Onyeka Obioha recommends this broad spectrum sunscreen as her top pick. “It’s a lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen that won’t make you feel like you’re wearing sunscreen,” she says. “And because it’s a mineral sunscreen, it shouldn’t cause acne breakouts and works well with all skin types.”

Best Face Sunscreen for Dark Skin

For deep skin tones, Obioha recommends this powder sunscreen from Colorscience. “If you’re looking for some coverage but don’t want to apply a full face of foundation, a tinted sunscreen is perfect for you,” says Obioha. “Since it’s tinted, it won’t leave a white hue on your face and blends easily into the skin.”

Best Drugstore Face Sunscreen

“This stick sunscreen works really well in hot weather. You don’t have to worry about the sunscreen dripping into your eye when sweating,” says Obioha. As the name suggests, this water-resistant option with SPF 50, will keep you cool and dry for up to 80 minutes.

Best Face Sunscreen For All Skin Tones

True to its name, the popular sunscreen brand’s Unseen Sunscreen goes on clear, making it great for all skin tones. “Since it’s a clear sunscreen, you won’t have to worry about a white or gray hue being left on your face,” says Obioha. “It has a really soft and smooth finish and works perfectly as a primer for your foundation or tinted moisturizer.”

Best Face Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin

According to Dr. Shah, this hydrating sunscreen with SPF 30 is great for sensitive skin. Enriched with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and ceramides to soothe, moisturize and protect the skin, he recommends this pure mineral sunscreen for daily use.

Best Face Sunscreen for Athletes

According to Rogers, Venus Williams’ On-The-Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 works universally on all skin tones and skin types. It also packs a high dose of zinc oxide (25%) and blends into the skin for a soft, matte finish. “It wears light and won’t aggravate your pores or cause excess sweating,”says Rogers.

Best Tinted Sunscreen

Another of Rogers’ favorites, this zinc oxide tinted sunscreen comes in three nude to tan tones to help even out the complexion while shielding skin from UV rays. With the help of citric acid, it also helps to reduce clogged pores and breakouts. And thanks to vitamin E, it helps form a shield from pollution and environmental toxins.

Best Face Sunscreen For Oily Skin

La Roche-Posay’s face sunscreen has an oil-free formula that keeps pores clear while using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to provide a physical defense against UV rays. Its SPF 50 shield won’t give a white cast, and it wears ultra light despite providing such good blockage from the sun.
