The best sunblocks for summer 2019
You need to be wearing sunscreen on both your face and body every single day of the year, but especially during the summer when the sun is strong and hot! Luckily, there are a ton of new sunblock formulas made without chemicals and with good-for-skin ingredients like antioxidents. Mineral sunscreens are super trendy right now, and are super effective at blocking the harsh rays of the sun. Brands like Blue Lizard, Aveeno and more have developed sunscreens for sensitive skin, and brands like La Roche-Posay ensure their formulas are oil-free so they won’t clog pores. These picks have been tested by dermatologists, so you know they won’t make you break out. Gone are the days of goopy, greasy sunscreens — these formulas are lightweight, and spray on easily and quickly. Using a great moisturizer with SPF is also a great way to save time in the morning and ensure you wear your SPF. See our favorite picks for summer 2019 in the gallery — scroll!
