Best Face Sun Creams, Sunscreens & SPFs

Whatever the season, SPF is always a crucial step in your skincare routine. Shielding your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays can reduce signs of damage, pigmentation and sun spots, but it can be difficult to find formulas that work with sensitive skin. We’ve selected the best face sunscreens for strength, hydration and weightlessness so you can keep your skin glowing and protected all year long.

Long gone are the days of slathering body suncream on your face - and the breakouts that go with it. Enter the new generation facial SPFs that fuse skincare with the ultimate sun protection. Stepping away from pore-clogging body formulas, the best sunscreen for everyday use will be packed with skincare ingredients like Niacinamide and Glycerin alongside their usual sun-protective elements.
