The best no-residue sunscreens
With summer nearly here, chances are you’ll want to get some sun. But as you’ve heard a thousand times before, sun overexposure ages you and increases your risk of skin cancer. No, thanks!
Luckily, protecting yourself from the sun’s harmful rays is easy. All you need to do is slap on sunblock that has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, making sure you get all exposed areas of your face and body.
Sunblock can be greasy and leave a white residue. But these 10 sunscreens vanish when you put them on without sacrificing strong protection. They are:
1. L’Oreal Paris Advanced Suncare Invisible Protect Clear Cool Lotion SPF 50+
This sunscreen goes on clean and doesn’t leave a white chalky residue.
2. LaserAway Beauty BFF SPF 50+
This whipped, hydrating sunscreen protects against daily UVA and UVB sun exposure, oxidative stress, and pollution. Even better: It’s fragrance-free, and its self-balancing color evens skin tone and gives you a gorgeous glow.
3. Tarte TarteGuard 30 Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30
This sunscreen is chemical-free. It protects your skin with all-natural titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
4. Neutrogena CoolDry Sport Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30
This ultra-clean formula is ideal for working out since it wicks away sweat and repels water.
5. Kiehl’s Activated Sun Protector Water-Light Lotion for Face & Body SPF 30
This formula is non-comedogenic, as well free of fragrance and parabens. It’s a good choice if your skin’s sensitive.
6. Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Featherweight Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15
This moisturizing lotion fights dehydration and other signs of aging without leaving a greasy residue or clogging pores.
7. Hang Ten Classic Sport Natural Sunscreen UVA/UVB Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 30
This sunblock is free of paraben, oxybenzone, retinyl, and palmitate. It’s also not greasy. And it leaves on your skin a light coconut scent.
8. Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 50+ WetForce
This sunscreen contains WetForce technology, which forms a water-repellent film on your skin to help keep you protected.
9. Glossier Invisible Shield Daily Sunscreen + SPF 35
This lightweight water-gel formula feels like a serum but protects against sunburn. Its transparent, non-greasy formula means no white cast, either.
10. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
This totally weightless, scentless, invisible sunscreen also preps the skin as an antioxidant-rich makeup primer.
How to Wear It When You Bare It — 6 Sensible Sunscreen Application Tips
Here are some tips on applying your favorite sunscreen:
- Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure. This way your skin absorbs the active ingredients. Reapply sunscreen liberally every two hours.
- If you’re applying sunscreen to your face, make sure to remember that sunscreen goes on after you moisturize or treat your skin, but before you put on makeup. If you don’t wear makeup, sunscreen should be the last thing you put on your skin.
- Choose sunscreens that provide both UVA and UVB protection. Ensure that they are water-resistant, and the higher the SPF, the better—we recommend SPF 50+.
- Avoid sun exposure between 10 am and 4 pm. This is the part of the day when UV rays are strongest.
- Keep sunscreen and lip balm in your car, purse, and other handy places. You never know when you’ll need them.
