The 9 Best Sunscreens to Slather on This Summer

While we should all be wearing SPF every day of the year—sun damage leads to wrinkles!—extra protection is seriously important in the summer. It can feel like a chore to slather on yet another product, but these nine picks—including lotions, mousses, lip balm, and more—are so great, you’ll want to use them year round.

Not only does this lightweight SPF protect from the sun (chemically free, of course), it also protects from other environmental free radicals. A true editor favorite and must have.

This gentle and oil-absorbing favorite doubles as the perfect primer under makeup.

Super Power Sunscreen Mousse, Supergoop, $19 to $34
