You may have been putting off wearing sunscreen every day or every summer but with recent reports it’s been proven that it isn't the best solution for your skin nor health. Most of us love being outdoors and getting a nice tan but you don't love what it does to your skin. You may have tried wearing sunscreen and it either left a white film or irritated your skin.
 
Here are 5 favorites that all consist of high SPF but offer different benefits. Choose one that works best for you this summer and hopefully you will stick to it all year long.
 
Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 50+ For Face  This is a great choice if you are hitting the pool or beach. This lightweight formula is gentle yet has powerful waterproof protection. It actually becomes stronger when in contact with water so you can go for a swim worry-free.
 
Keihl's Ultralight Daily UV Defense - This is a lightweight formula that is ideal for all skin types. Recommended to be worn daily, this protection not only prevents aging and sun damage but provides all-day hydration as well. As far as protection, it has a SPF PA 50 ++++, which means it has triple protection against all three types of rays. It is also enriched with Vitamin E which provides more benefits like protecting skin from free radical damage.
 
Clarin's UV Plus HP Tinted Daily Shield SPF 40 - A longtime favorite for many, this formula not only won't leave a white film but instead is tinted to make your complexion look even. Apply this after your moisturizer for a nice fresh "no make up" make up look. 
 
DiorShow Brightening Illuminating UV Protection with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum Translucent SPF50- This sunscreen will not only protect you but also give you an illuminating youthful glow. Apply it as your last step in your skincare routine.
 
MAC Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50 - A primer with a high SPF is perfect for those that ask "How will this wear under my make up?" This will not only protect but also prepare your skin for a flawless makeup application. Also a well-suited choice for oily skin, this primer has a special formula that includes an oil absorbing powder. 
 
Based on your bespoke needs, chose the sunscreen that works with your skin type and lifestyle. Love and protect your skin by wearing sunscreen daily, your future self will thank you!
