6 Editor-Approved Sunscreens
Tired of sunscreens that are too sticky, too greasy or sweat right off? Here are the sun-protecting products our editor swears by
Sunscreen might not be the sexiest beauty product, but it is one of the most necessary. Unfortunately, between overly greasy formulas and products that leave skin feeling sticky, some sunblocks feel like a chore to wear.
To help you pick a sunscreen that'll do its job and feel good on your skin, Total Beauty's managing editor -- who considers herself to be the Goldilocks of sunscreens -- is showing off a few of her top sun protection picks. Find out which sunscreens she deemed to be just right.
NON-GREASY FACE SUNSCREENS
Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen, $68
"Our editorial staff fell in love with this sunscreen. Not only does it protect your skin, but it really, really makes your skin look beautiful. You could almost forgo using primer and use this instead."
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Oil-Free Dry Touch Sunscreen, $19.99
"This has a real mattifying effect ... It feels so nice. It's called "Dry-Touch" and that really speaks to the formula, because it's not greasy at all, and it doesn't feel thick or overly greasy. This is something I have no problem wearing under my makeup."
NON-STICKY BODY SUNSCREENS
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula EvenTone SunCare Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30, $7.47
"It's got the same nourishing properties as Palmer's lotion ... and it smells great. It's like a day at the beach in a bottle... It makes your skin feel soft and not sticky."
Kiehl's Activated Sun Protector Water-Light Lotion For Face & Body SPF 30, $29
"This stuff is so lightweight, it's like nothing I've never worn before ... If you hate sunscreens that leave chalky white streaks, this is a great pick for you."
SWEAT-PROOF SUNSCREENS
Cosmedicine Even the Score Perfected Very Water Resistant Sunscreen for Face, $95
"This is less like a lotion and more like a balm, and it sweats really well ... Once you put it on, it will not come off. It's almost like your sweat rolls right over it. This is an awesome choice for people who are active."
Fresh Sugar Sport Treatment Sunscreen, $25
"Fresh as a brand is a cult-favorite, and this doesn't disappoint ... This is great for lips, nose or around your eye area. It's not greasy or heavy, and it's not going to sweat off right away."
