Suit up for spring and summer with these SPF-packed sunscreen picks.
Date April 13, 2023
We don’t know about you, but we’ve been pleasantly surprised by this wave of warmth and sunshine we’ve been having in place of dreary April showers. Sure, it’s technically spring, but that fact that it also feels like spring? Groundbreaking. It also means that a slew of new sunscreen launches have arrived right on time.

We can all benefit from the protective properties that sunscreen offers, like helping to prevent sunburns, skin cancer, and premature signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. The SPF of our beloved sunscreens is an indicator of how well a sunscreen can protect against UVA and UVB rays, and we should be aiming to use products with a minimum SPF of 30.
Here’s the thing: We love sunscreen and all that it does for us, but finding one that blends well with our makeup and doesn’t leave behind a white cast or a greasy finish is no easy feat. It’s true that you should be applying sunscreen daily and all year round, but if you’ve neglected this step during the winter months or haven’t found a sunscreen that works for you, allow us to introduce ten new SPF-packed products we think you’ll love. From multifunctional creams to dewy serums, there’s a face sunscreen here for everyone.
