With summer in full swing, it’s more important than ever to make sure we are wearing SPF daily. With the creation of new SPF labeling guidelines, it’s easier to buy sunscreen than ever before – but it can skill be tough finding one that works with your skin type. I’ve tracked down 5 top sunscreens for every skin type, so keep reading to find an SPF that will work for you.
If you have DRY SKIN:
1. CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM SPF 30
This rich, creamy sunscreen works well for dry skin due to its protective barrier that helps restore moisture while providing broad-spectrum protection against the sun’s damaging rays. It’s a little on the pricey side, but as a woman who suffers from dry skin myself I know how hard it can be to find a moisturizing facial sunscreen that really works.

If you have OILY SKIN:
2. Neutrogena Clear Face Oil-Free Sunblock Lotion
For those with oily or acne-prone skin, it’s important to find a sunscreen that won’t clog pores. This one from Neutrogena is non-oily and won’t cause breakouts but will still protect you from the sun’s damaging rays. Plus, it’s completely lightweight and leaves a matte finish – not a chalky white mask like some sunscreens can.

If you have SENSITIVE SKIN:
3. Coppertone Faces Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Lotion
Whether you suffer from sensitivity or rosacea, this effective sunscreen will help protect you from the sun without causing further irritation. It’s non-greasy and won’t cause breakouts and is lightweight enough to be worn under makeup. If you’re tired of sunscreens irritating your already sensitive skin, give this one from Coppertone a try.

If you have COMBINATION SKIN:
4. Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer for Combination/Oily Skin
This one is a little harder to find, but it’s specifically formulated for combination skin which means it may be worth it to track down. This lightweight SPF won’t clog your pores or leave your face feeling greasy or heavy. Instead, this lightweight lotion protects skin while maintaining a healthy complexion with Vitamins A and C.
($8.79, Drugstores)
If you have AGING SKIN:
5. Aveeno Positively Ageless Youth Perfecting Moisturizer SPF 30
This sunscreen not only protects against UVA and UVB rays, but helps reverse previous sun damage by minimizing the look of lines and wrinkles and reducing other visible signs of aging. The lightweight formula is also perfectly suited for mature skin and is suitable for daily use.
