The Best Sunscreens

The latest formulas offer greater protection, feel light on the skin, dry fast, and are easier to apply than ever.
For every day:Kinetin, a key ingredient in Kinerase Lotion 30 ($135), helps to diminish fine lines and brown spots, while a healthy hit of sunscreen helps prevent new ones.
For a subtle tint, try Jergens Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer SPF 20 ($7); the oil-free, lightweight formula is terrifically moisturizing and absorbs quickly.
The delicate skin around the eyes is particularly susceptible to sun damage and fine lines. Shiseido Eye Cream SPF 32 ($30) hydrates and protects with antioxidant-rich rose apple leaf extract.
For a day at the beach:
The nozzle on Coppertone Ultra Guard SPF 50 ($10) emits a fine mist from any angle (even upside down), so it's easy to cover your back.
Banana Boat Sport Dri-Blok SPF 30 ($8) goes on as a lotion but dries instantly to a powder, keeping your grip from being greasy.
Get long-lasting full UVA/UVB protection with Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 70 ($10). The new Helioplex technology stops the active sun-blocking ingredient, avobenzone, from breaking down.
Is there such a thing as too much sunblock?
