All of us know how important SPF is, especially when we’ll be spending so much time outdoors this summer. No matter what type of skin you have, one of these top 5 sunscreens will likely work for you.
If you have Dry Skin…
1. La Roche-Posay Anthelios SX Daily Moisturizer
Most sunscreens aren’t particularly moisturizing, so those with dry skin often have a hard time finding a sunscreen that works with their skin type. Luckily, La Roche-Posay’s sunscreen is incredibly moisturizing without feeling heavy on skin – bonus! This SPF 15 moisturizer is great for applying under makeup, and it won’t leave a greasy feeling behind.

If you have Oily Skin…
2. Kiss My Face Potent and Pure Cell Mate Facial Cream & Sunscreen
Sunscreen can wreak havoc on oily skin, clogging pores and irritating those who are acne-prone. Luckily, Kiss My Face has a sunscreen specifically formulated for those with oily skin. This light, non-greasy formula absorbs instantly into skin and won’t leave an icky residue behind like some sunscreens do. Plus, it’s packed with antioxidants and botanicals to help soothe and nourish skin from within.

If you have Sensitive Skin…
3. Hawaiian Tropic Sensitive Skin Lotion Spray SPF 50
As a woman who suffers from skin sensitivity, I know how difficult it can be to find sunscreen that doesn’t further irritate. Luckily, this lightweight sunscreen in a convenient spray bottle is hypoallergenic and won’t clog pores. Not only is it effective at keeping your skin protected from UVA and UVB rays, but it also helps nourish and moisturize skin all day long.

If you have Combination Skin…
4. Dermadoctor Ain’t Misbehavin’ Skin Clarifying & Mattifying Sunscreen
Cute names aside, this powerful sunscreen is a godsend for combination skin – or skin that’s oily and acne-prone, too! Simply slather this light-weight lotion on before heading outdoors and your skin will be hydrated and protected. Plus, it’s not greasy or sticky feeling – a bonus for those who hate wearing sunscreen because of the way it feels.

If you have Normal Skin…
5. Obagi Nu-Derm Sun Shield SPF 50
It’s pricey, but those who have tried this sunscreen swear by it’s sheer application and non-greasy feel. It’s also fragrance free, so for those who are sensitive to fragrances this sunscreen will also work well. Plus, it leaves behind a matte – never shiny – finish that won’t interfere with makeup application.
