BEST SUNBLOCKS FOR FACE SKIN
May leave a bit of a white cast on dark skin tones Type: Chemical | Water-Resistant: Yes | SPF: 40 | Size: 1.7 fl oz. So whether you’re heading out for a day at the beach, out in the sun playing a sport, or just using it for daily wear, this sunscreen is at the top of our list. How it held up: When we tested this sunscreen at home over the course of two weeks, it continued to impress us by absorbing well and leaving a clean, matte finish. After spraying water on our skin, we could see the water droplets resting on our face, but the absorbed sunscreen didn’t run or streak at all. It does take a few minutes to dry, but we appreciated that it’s unscented (for those with sensitive skin) and didn’t cause any irritation.ĭuring our water test, this lotion proved completely water-resistant.

It spreads and absorbs easily, and a little goes a long way, so the package should last you a while. Those with dry skin who tested this sunscreen loved the moisturizing effect (thanks to the aforementioned ingredients!), and those with oily skin said it didn’t feel too greasy, though there was slight oil transfer after blotting with the blotting sheets, which likely could have just been our own natural oils. The consistency of this chemical sunscreen feels like a velvety, silicone primer, making it ideal for layering under your makeup. It’s made with red algae to boost moisture, frankincense to soothe the skin, and an oil complex that also contributes to moisturization. The formula is completely transparent, so you won’t have to worry about streaking or white cast. After testing, we are definitely reaching for Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen first.
