5 Best Summer Sunscreens

By now we all know that sun protection is super important.  Sunscreen helps keep away wrinkles, and prevents those horrendous sunburns that hurt so much they keep you up at night.  With all this sunscreen awareness, there are endless bottles to choose from on the shelf.  I've found my five favorites, and here they are!

La Roche Posay Anthelios

No, this isn't just a great sunscreen because it has a fancy name!  It's got a special chemical in it (i'll spare you the long name) that protects against wrinkle causing UVA rays.  Most sunscreens only protect against UVB rays, so you'll be a step ahead of the game with this one! 

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 15

This is my favorite daily face moisturizer with sun protection.  It light and easily goes under foundation or powder.  It's also not sticky or greasy and absorbs into the skin without any drama.  Don't forget to wear a facial sunscreen everyday.  Even when it's cloudy you'd be surprised by how much sun exposure you get.  And wearing a sunblock on your face everyday is a great habit!

Bull Frog Superblock SPF 45

I know Bull Frog doesn't sound like overly special or couture sunblock, but this Superblock is pretty amazing.  It's a champion.  It's waterproof and sweatproof and just a great all purpose sunblock for those beach days. 

Blue Lizard Sunscream Sensitive SPF 30+

Yea, we've got a play on words here.  This "sunscream" is for people with sensitive skin.  Not only is it fragrance free, it's also chemical free.  It's a little more expensive than other sunscreens, but if you have sensitive skin, this lotion is definitely the way to go!

Neutrogena Untra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 70

I absolutely love this sunblock.  It goes on light, absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy film.  It has a formula that protects against all kinds of short waves and long waves.  It's sweat proof and waterproof and just a really great all-around sun lotion.  And with an SPF of 70, I'm sure to be my old super fair self all through summer!
