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.

The Sunscreen That Evens Skin Tone & Protects Against Pollution
Exuviance Sheer Daily Protector SPF 50, $42

This sunscreen is like a ghost. Not because it's white (it's actually tinted), but because you'd never know it's there. It's a nearly weightless, fluid-like serum that glides on with enough color to balance and even skin tone. The silky-sheer formula fights the good fight against skin-damaging pollution with EGCG green tea extract (the antioxidant in green tea linked to longer life) and two forms of vitamin E.

The Sunscreen That Replaces Your Conditioner and Your Hat
Nios Shield Leave-In Conditioner with SPF 15 for scalp, $26

Raise your hand if you've diligently applied and reapplied sunscreen every two hours, only to find that you've forgotten the one place that's directly under the sun: your scalp. Nix painful scalp burns with this multitasking SPF. Moroccan argan oil adds shine and reduces frizz, and built-in SPF means you don't have to run greasy, white gobs of sunscreen through your strands. Ta-ta, hat hair.

The Body Sunscreen That Keeps You Cool
Neutrogena CoolDry Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 30, $9.49

When the sun is shining, exercising indoors doesn't make sense. But so few sunscreens live up to their sweat-proof promises. You can literally taste your disappointment as they slide down your face, and curse them as they sting your eyes. Not so with the CoolDry sport sunscreen. This SPF is formulated with micromesh technology that actually allows sweat to escape through the sun protection, so your body stays cool and protected, allowing you to fully enjoy the great outdoors. Win-win.

The Sunscreen That Smoothes Wrinkles
Colorescience Sunforgettable Tint du Soleil SPF 30, $54

Colorescience is the original authority on tinted sunscreen. So it makes sense that their newest offering is everything you'd ever want from a sunscreen: a potent anti-ager with a wash of sheer, healthy color that also protects your skin. Enriched with peptides, this sunscreen reduces lines and wrinkles, refines tone and texture and, to top it off, smells amazing.
