I’ve primarily used formulation from Supergoop!, Shiseido and Chanel however lastly put extra formulation to the take a look at. My pores and skin may be very delicate to excessive warmth and sunscreen so I take a look at with excessive warning. Here’s what I’ve tried and ideas. Up first are formulation for the physique!
Sunscreens for the Physique
Shiseido Final Solar Protector Lotion with SPF 50 ($25 to $65, Bloomingdale’s, Sephora, Ulta Magnificence)
Energetic Substances: Avobenzone 2.3% Sunscreen Homosalate 10.0% Sunscreen Octisalate 5.0% Sunscreen Octocrylene 5.0% Sunscreen
That is my all-time favourite sunscreen for the physique. It’s the perfect I’ve tried that has a velvety dry down, most lasting even in water and straightforward to unfold even over moist pores and skin (though I like to recommend making use of on dry pores and skin). It additionally helps defend in opposition to warmth. It’s additionally formulated to make use of on the face however I exploit this one solely on the physique, neck, arms, legs. Love this worth duo at Sephora.
Supergoop! Glowscreen Physique SPF 40 ($42, Sephora, Nordstrom, Supergoop!)
Energetic Substances: Avobenzone 2.3% Sunscreen Homosalate 10.0% Sunscreen Octisalate 5.0% Sunscreen Octocrylene 5.0% Sunscreen
I’ve liked and used this method for the reason that day it launched (have additionally repurchased quite a few occasions). It has superfine gentle reflecting particles (it’s easy, no chunky texture) and provides the prettiest shimmer and to the pores and skin. Love that it’s easy and hydrating.
Revive Soleil Superiéur SPF 50 ($165, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bluemercury)
Energetic Substances: Avobenzone 3% Sunscreen Homosalate 10% Sunscreen Octisalate 5% Sunscreen Octocrylene 2.6%
This was one in all my newest splurges – for me it was onerous to seek out because it was virtually all the time offered out however appears to be again in inventory just a few locations. It’s one of the costly sunscreens I’ve tried and it’s pure love. It glides on the pores and skin easily. Has an anti-oxidant complicated to nourish and hydrate the pores and skin. Has a really delicate sunscreen scent which smells like summer time to me. Love that it has a pump applicator. There’s additionally a Soleil Superieur face model which I’ve used and liked earlier than but it surely’s additionally fairly costly.
Trip Inc. Basic Lotion SPF 30 ($18, Nordstrom, Ulta Magnificence, Trip Inc.)
Energetic Substances: Avobenzone (2.5%), Homosalate (10%), Octisalate (5%), Octocrylene (8%)
This method wins for the perfect scent. It has a pleasant easy utility. No pilling. Smells like a enjoyable summer time trip. I really like how the method wears and performs. Two issues although: I do want it had a better SPF and it doesn’t apply properly on moist pores and skin. If you happen to’re within the water or tremendous sweaty you’ll need to towel off earlier than making use of in any other case it doesn’t adhere. It has coconut oil, aloe vera, banana extract, Vitamin E and Niacinamide.
Jack Black Oil-Free Solar Guard SPF 45 ($21, Jack Black, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Sephora, Ulta Magnificence)

This method is Andrew’s favourite and the one physique sunscreen he makes use of. It’s the longest enduring even in water and with sweat. It’s one I order in bulk as a result of Andrew goes by a lot. Anytime we have now friends on the town we give them a bottle of this Jack Black method (or Supergoop!) to make use of whereas they’re right here as a result of it’s the perfect at defending pores and skin and stopping sunburns.
It’s additionally out there in 3-Pack of Minis at Jack Black. The one draw back is that it’s so efficient it is vitally onerous to take away on the finish of the day. You’ll have to offer your physique a number of scrubs with a washcloth or sponge. I’ll typically have to make use of a cleaning oil throughout and let it sit to interrupt down the method earlier than utilizing a daily physique wash. Andrew’s favourite is the Jack Black Turbo Wash (which I additionally borrow every so often). The Massive Sir Physique and Hair Cleanser can also be fairly good.
If you happen to’re searching for the lads in your life to up their grooming sport, I extremely suggest Jack Black. They’ve some good starter units. I’ve purchased this for Andrew, his brother, my brother, and so forth.
Solar Care Face Formulation
For the face I’ve caught with a really small choose group of formulation for the previous three years. I’m very delicate to warmth and sunscreen. With the incorrect method my face usually reacts with crimson spots and flare ups when uncovered to excessive warmth. I nonetheless get evaluate requests each week to evaluate/take a look at completely different formulation from you! This yr I lastly branched out and tried extra after cautious analysis and am thrilled to report that I’ve some new winners.
I’ve liked and used La Roce-Posay for a very long time. It’s one that the majority of you’re keen on and use too. Three formulation I began utilizing just lately embody the next:
The Anthelios Extremely-Gentle SPF 60* ($30.99) has a light-weight texture and semi-matte end. It’s a white fluid however has no white forged on my pores and skin. Energetic Substances: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 10%, Octisalate 5% and Octocrylene 7%.
The Anthelios Mineral Tinted SPF 50* ($34.99) is a wonderful mineral method I really like and love. I discover most mineral formulation don’t work for my pores and skin sort with the feel, however this can be a actually good one with a brown-beige tint. It disappears into the pores and skin. Energetic Ingredient is Titanium Dioxide 11%.
The Anthelios Soften-In-Milk SPF 60* ($24.99 to $36.99, face & physique, chemical sunscreen) is a good method for the physique. 100% suggest. Has a excessive SPF, melts into the pores and skin, absorbs shortly. Energetic Substances: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 10%, Octisalate 5% and Octocrylene 7%. See them in motion beneath!
Two different mineral formulation that I like are the Tatcha Silk Sunscreen SPF 50 ($60) and the Summer time Fridays Shade Drops Mineral Milk Sunscreen SPF 30 ($36). I purchased each from Sephora and completely love how they soften into the pores and skin and don’t really feel heavy or capsule.
The Tatcha method works below make-up properly and it has a velvety really feel. The packaging might use a bit of labor because the product typically will squirt out of the highest when you open it. I haven’t had any flaking points that you simply see on-line (not but). That is extra fluid in texture in comparison with their Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen with SPF 35.
The Summer time Fridays method is a very nice one I discovered works with me. Evaluations appear to be combined – positively strive a patch take a look at first. I don’t suppose it’s the perfect long-wear method for those who’re exterior for an prolonged time period.
The Chanel UV Essentiel SPF 50 ($55) and CC Cream ($55) have been in my high picks for years. I really like the extremely light-weight texture of the UV Essentiel and I don’t sweat loads on my face so this works for me (it didn’t work for Andrew, he sweats extra). Energetic Substances: Octinoxate 7.5%, Titanium dioxide 3.8%, Zinc oxide 17.1%.
My most-worn sunscreen is the Chanel CC Cream with SPF 50. It’s a tinted product with medium protection and wears so properly on my pores and skin. Lasts all day. It’s on the semi-thick aspect so utility is essential. It’s not one I like to recommend making use of with fingers. Use a sponge to work it into the pores and skin and mix. This methodology works finest for me when making use of any CC cream. So a lot of you could have advised me you could have stored referring to my evaluate from 2018!
Energetic Substances: Energetic substances: Octinoxate 6.8%, Titanium dioxide 4%, Zinc oxide 15.2%
Supergoop! is one in all my favourite manufacturers for sunscreens usually. I really like all of their chemical formulation and one mineral. My advice for method can be based mostly in your pores and skin sort and choice. Every one has a special texture and goal.
Out of all of the Supergoop formulation I really like the Each.Single.Face Watery Lotion SPF 50* and the CC Display SPF 50 probably the most. The CC Display is a wonderful tinted possibility with fairly good protection. The Every day Dose Vitamin C SPF 40 is a good possibility and the Unseen SPF 40 is likely one of the finest matte end formulation I’ve tried.
Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30* ($30 to 42) was one of many highest rated/most liked formulation from you based mostly on messages I acquired on social. So a lot of you’re keen on this skincare line and after lastly attempting it this yr I 100% agree. No white forged on me (though there’s a very delicate white tint), no pilling, lasts on the pores and skin. Positively reapply each hour (as with all formulation) however love that it’s not sticky or goopy and it doesn’t have any scent or bizarre sunscreen scent.
The final two I needed to spotlight are the Shiseido City Setting Recent-Moisture Sunscreen SPF 42 ($38, Bloomingdale’s) and City Setting Solar Twin Care Oil-Free Broad Spectrum SPF 42 Sunscreen ($35, Nordstrom, Sephora).
Each are nice formulation for the face. The Shiseido City Setting Recent-Moisture Sunscreen has a good looking hydrating really feel. It’s formulated with hyaluronic acid to assist retain moisture. Leaves the pores and skin feeling easy and barely plump. It has sufficient moisture that I can use this as a moisturizer.
Energetic Substances: Avobenzone 2.3%, Homosalate 10.0%, Octisalate 5.0%, Octocrylene 5.0%.
The Shiseido City Setting Solar Twin Care Oil-Free Sunscreen can also be a latest winner. It has a extra fluid skinny texture with a velvety dry down. Tremendous light-weight, lengthy lasting, has a slight pale peachy pink tint if you apply it on the pores and skin however disappears after mixing.
Energetic Substances: Ensulizole 1.0%, Homosalate 15.0%, Octisalate 5.0%, Zinc Oxide 15.5%
There’s additionally a Mineral Model of this method however I’ve not tried it.
That wraps up my summer time sunscreen roundup! I’d suggest any of those to anybody. If I needed to decide my absolute high favorites, these are my high 6:
