Ready, set, protect! The best sunscreens for every budget

 

We all love getting a little sun in the warm weather months, but we need to be wary of the ultraviolet rays that can seriously damage our skin. Protecting yourself with sunscreen is obviously  super important, and luckily there are tons of different options for every skin type (and budget). Check out a few of our faves below to hit the beach fully prepared.

    Banish breakouts

    Sunscreen can be really oily and unfortunately, applying it to your face can result in clogged pores and breakouts. This lotion is SPF 55, oil-free, ultralight, and waterproof—so a day at the pool won’t result in pimples.

    Pucker up

    It might be easy to forget about your lips during a day in the sun, but they can get burned, too. Prevent sore burnt lippies with this SPF 45 balm—it smells yummy, and it's packed with aloe vera that will make your pout nice 'n' smooth.

    All day, everyday

    This lotion hardly feels like a sunscreen. It’s lightweight, doesn’t have the typical sunblock smell, and is meant to be worn as a regular moisturizer. If your skin is sensitive to sun, this is a great option for everyday use.
