Preparation
There’s no denying that applying sunscreen should be a crucial step in your skin care routine, and that’s true whether you’re spending time outdoors or sitting in front of a screen all day. Luckily, beauty brands have made serious innovations when it comes to SPF. Long gone is the white cast that would deter even the most sun-conscious beauty lover from wanting to apply their daily helping of sunscreen and the formulations are no longer thick and greasy which can clog pores. Today’s offerings are plentiful, infused with skin-loving ingredients and are light enough to wear under makeup. No matter your skin type or need, there’s bound to be a facial sunscreen on the market that will work or you.
Before you make your purchase, make sure that you select a sunscreen for the face that has at least SPF 30. You should also think about whether you’d prefer a chemical or physical sunscreen: The former is gets absorbed by the skin and works to soak up the sun’s UV light while the latter provides a shield-like function between the sun and your skin. So, which facial sunscreen to choose? We tapped skincare experts for their picks on the best products available.
