The 6 Best Sunscreens To Keep Your Face Looking Young


Dermatologists reveal the best face sunscreens for preventing skin cancer and slowing down aging.






If there's one thing you put on your skin today, let it be a sunscreen. Dermatologists harp on this over and over because it really works. Of course, your first priority is to prevent a sunburn, which can raise your risk for skin cancer. But sunscreen also keeps your skin looking young. Not only does research show it can protect your skin from the UV damage that causes premature aging, but wearing it can actually help reverse signs of damage and aging by lessening the look of dark spots, improving texture, and boosting brightness, per 2016 research in the journal Dermatologic Surgery.

The sunscreen you choose for your face should really be no different than for your body. The label needs to say "broad spectrum" to guard against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays, says Arisa Ortiz, MD, assistant clinical professor in the department of dermatology at University of California, San Diego. You really have to pay attention to the wording on the bottle because "many sunscreens only protect against UVB rays," she says. Look for SPF 30 or higher. (SPF 30 will guard against 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 takes care of 98% of them).

There are so many out there, we wanted to identify five great picks that meet all the dermatologist-approved criteria: SPF 30 and broad spectrum protection. And because a common fear is that sunscreen will make you break out, these also had to be lightweight and suitable even if you're prone to acne. Here are six you should try now:  

Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector


The broad spectrum SPF 42 is perfect if you shy away from facial sunscreens in fear that they'll leave your face too slick. It absorbs nicely into skin so it feels light, not sticky, and is non-comedogenic, making it ideal if you have oily or acne-prone skin. Peony root extract works to diminish the appearance of pores, helping to perfect your skin before you go out. (If you want to further shield your skin from harmful rays, make sure you try sun protective clothing.)

Colorescience Sunforgettable Brush-on Sunscreen SPF 30


Debra Jaliman, MD, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology says this water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen is an excellent option for women with acne-prone skin. “Since it’s powder it doesn’t clog the pores and never breaks out the skin. I also recommend it to patients who have oily skin because it helps with the 4 o’clock shine.”

Clarns Sunscreen for Face Wrinkle Control Cream SPF 30


This is another one that's earned accolades from the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation for everyday wear. The cream is suitable for a range of skin types from dry to oily. And ingredients like kiwi, aloe vera, and olive provide antioxidant protection as well as skin-quenching hydration.

Elta MD UV Facial Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+


The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends you apply this one daily. The sunscreen contains zinc oxide plus antioxidant vitamin E to battle damaging free radicals triggered by damaging UV light. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture to keep you hydrated. It's also noncomedogenic and fragrance-free, so it won't plug pores or cause irritation. If you're looking for slightly more protection, Dr. Jaliman says she personally uses Elta MD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46: "It's very thin and it also has niacinamide which is vitamin B3. This helps to lighten up hyperpigmentation which comes from acne."

MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème


You'll appreciate the broad spectrum SPF 50 mineral-based sunscreen because it covers your bases with top-notch UV reflectors zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Vitamin C works to maintain radiance and keep the collagen in skin springy, while green tea extract helps safeguard against free radical damage that contributes to aging.

Murad City Skin Age Defense


Let's talk about what this broad spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen is designed to protect against: UVA and UVB rays, pollution, blue light from devices (eek!), and infrared radiation. It relies on titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to help shield skin from the sun, and pumps up the formula with vitamin C to boost brightness. Plus, it's packed with a tint to help even your skin tone, great if you're keeping your skin au naturel.
