No. 11: Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 30, $30
TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 8.3*
Why: Readers call this product their "safety net" and "SPF in a snap." One woman says, "I have recently become a shade worshiper as a result of family members developing skin cancer, and I have four faves in my sunscreen arsenal -- Peter Thomas Roth's being one of the four. This one travels in my handbag at all times. I never leave home without it." Another woman insists, "to all the mineral makeup maidens: this is perfect for you! If you need a higher protection, or need to reapply throughout the day you can dust this translucent mineral powder over or under your makeup for a matte finish." Readers say that this is "perfect for oily skin. I already use a lot of creamy products on my face before makeup so this is the perfect way to apply sunscreen. I use it to set my foundation since it is already a powder. It's so light, you can't even tell that it's on." Another calls it the "best new innovative product."

I wasn't aware of the prevalence of the skin cancer deaths. That's a cancer we have some power over. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I will be using SPF moisturizer and bronzer on my face from now on!

Clinique's city block feels so nice on my skin and doesn't feel greasy at all.

Nice list! I burn very easily and have oily skin so these are all helpful to know about.

I have used many. Living in Scottsdale, Arizona you don't even think about putting it on you just do it. Sometimes I even have it on before I brush my teeth! Dork!

I loved the Clarins and Shiseido...HATED the Clinique sunblock. PTR is great too. Another one of my favorites is from La Roche Posay.

I have oily skin and am constantly on the search for a good mineral based sunscreen. The problem with the powder is the it can be inhaled during application, means you end up with zinc and titanium in your lungs which will then move into your bloodstream and your entire body. I am currently using John Masters Organics Natural Mineral spf 30. It is a little pricey but I like it.
