The Sunscreen That Blurs Imperfections
Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum SPF 30 with Soft Focus Finish, $42

Equal parts serum, tinted primer and sunscreen, this superstar product is a real triple threat. Like a good Instagram filter, the tint is just enough to make people question if you're wearing makeup or just having a really good skin day. Meanwhile, vitamins E and B5 protect against free radicals to prevent future damage.

The Sunscreen That Doubles as a Skin-Saving Antioxidant
Natura Bissé C+C SPF 30 Oil-Free Macroantioxidant Sun Protection, $60

Get the best of both worlds with this Natura Bissé sunscreen. Chock-full of powerful macromolecules extracted from the skin of oranges, this sunscreen provides a layer of protection that prevents free radicals from doing harm.

The Sunscreen That Imparts a Healthy Glow
Josie Maran Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 Protect + Perfect, $36

This better-than-bronzer product flips the concept of sunscreen on its head. Instead of applying sunscreen to prevent color, slather on this skin protector to add a little color -- sans sun damage. Its universal tint evens skin tone, while Josie's signature argan oil adds that dewy glow.

The Sunscreen That Banishes Dark Circles
Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector with SPF 30, $38

Those of us who have dark circles agree: We'd sooner walk out of the house in our bra and underwear than go without under-eye concealer. But did you know that sun damage makes dark circles way, way darker? That's why we're tossing this eye-brightening sun shield in our summer tote. Licorice root extract helps to circulate blood flow, and caffeine and vitamin C reduce puffiness and hyperpigmentation. And don't worry about stinging eyes -- the gentle formula is fragrance- and paraben-free.

The Sunscreen That Makes Your Makeup Flawless
Coola Face SPF 30 Makeup Setting Spray, $30

If you forget to apply sunscreen under your makeup, chances are, you're not going to be willing to mess up your meticulously applied blush or contour job by smearing SPF all over your face. That's where this spray product comes in. Not only does it contain hydrating hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and cucumber extracts, it also renders your makeup melt-proof.
