If you’re going to be wearing a product everyday, it’s important to make sure it’s a good fit for your skin. It’s also crucial to ensure it provides the level of sun protection you actually need. When shopping for daily sunscreen, here are a few things to look for:

Broad-Spectrum Protection

The sun emits two types of ultraviolet rays, UVA and UVB. It’s UVB rays which cause your skin to burn with prolonged exposure while UVA rays cause DNA damage and accelerated aging. Broad-spectrum sunscreen provides comprehensive protection against both types.

Fortunately, most sunscreen products offer broad-spectrum protection. You’ll find a wide range of options from EltaMD, including our top pick for daily use (EltaMD UV Clear Untinted Broad Spectrum SPF 46).

SPF 30 or Higher

Skincare experts recommend wearing daily sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30. At this level, sunscreen filters out about 97% of UVB rays (so don’t be afraid to go with a higher SPF product!). Remember, proper application is the key to effective protection.

If you want to max out on sun protection, it’s hard to do better than the SPF 60 offered by La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen. When you’re not planning to spend much time in the sun (but still want to be protected), a sheer formula like CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 might do the trick.

Suitable for Your Skin Type

To further narrow down the options, shop for sunscreens formulated for your skin type. Mineral sunscreen is generally recommended for people with dry or sensitive skin (we recommend Colorescience Total Protection No-Show Mineral Sunscreen) while non-comedogenic formulas are best for oily and acne-prone skin types.

And if you have mature skin, consider an anti-aging formula like Revision Skincare TruPhysical Intellishade SPF 45. Regardless of your skin type, always patch test new skincare products to check for sensitivity or allergic reactions.

Beneficial Ingredients

If you’re already shopping for new sunscreen, why not select a product that does more than just block UV rays? Many daily sunscreens double as moisturizers, helping to hydrate your skin and protect the moisture barrier. For example, MDSolarSciences Mineral Moisture Defense sunscreen contains ceramides to support lasting hydration.

You can also find sunscreens that help reduce the visible signs of aging, mattify oily skin, or even correct hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Some formulas, like ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Ultralight Emulsion, even actively work to repair existing UV-induced DNA damage.

Gone are the days when applying sunscreen left your skin feeling heavy or greasy. Not only are modern sunscreens formulated for comfortable wear, but it’s easier than ever to find a product suited to your specific skin type. You may even be able to eliminate another product from your skincare routine by choosing a sunscreen infused with active ingredients.
