Why it's great: If greasy sunscreen is a no-go for you, readers say you'll find this sunblock particularly impressive. "It feels like putting on your favorite moisturizer, rather than a sunscreen," says one reader. Others agree, saying besides the sunscreen's "great protection," they love the lightweight and non-greasy feel. While you should reapply after dipping in water, users say the sunscreen will hold up at your day at the beach. "It stays on really well, even after you've been in the water," one user says. "Being a person with a fair complexion this is the answer to all my sunscreen needs."

Whether we like it or not, sunscreen is a must for all of us. And according to Heidi Waldorf, M.D., of Waldorf Dermatology & Laser Associates in Nanuet, NY, we need "an SPF of at least 15 daily." For prolonged sun exposure (anything more than the incidental exposure you might get from driving or working near a window), she recommends an SPF of 30 above with a water-resistant formula. She also suggests choosing a sunscreen containing titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone or mexoryl as its active ingredient.

The amount of sunscreen you apply is also vital. Waldorf recommends "a shot glass full of sunscreen" for the average adult and reapplying "every one to two hours while outdoors." We'll admit that doesn't sound like a fun way to spend your summer, but with these reader-approved products, maybe it won't seem like such a chore.
