The Best SPFs for Every Skin Type and Situation

Mineral sunscreens are excellent for acne-prone skin as they sit on top of the skin (meaning they’re not absorbed and therefore don’t lead to pore-clogging breakouts). This iteration from Supergoop! is made from clean ingredients and has an SPF rating of 40. Plus, it’s lightweight and non-greasy. Win, win.

Knowing that men like to use as few products as possible, Kiehl’s designed this moisturizer with SPF 20 with practicality and speed in mind. The cream provides antioxidant protection, as well as sun protection, and leaves skin feeling hydrated, too.

Dermalogica knows a thing or twenty about skin and the brand’s newest sunscreen proves just that. Featuring non-nano Zinc Oxide, the lightweight formulation leaves no white residue on the skin and the physical SPF formula also helps to protect against blue light and other environmental aggressors. Bio-active Mushroom Complex helps to soothe skin and reduce redness and dryness which can come from sun exposure, making it the perfect choice for anyone with sensitive skin.

By far one of the most affordable sunscreens on the market, this sunscreen from Canadian brand The Ordinary delivers broad spectrum SPF protection, as well as protection against free radicals. The non-comedogenic formulation also provides hydration and helps to calm stressed skin – all for under $10.

Suncare should be a non-negotiable step in your morning skincare routine, however we get it – sometimes life gets busy and we forget. That’s where Coola’s SPF30 Makeup Setting Spray comes in. Made with 70 per cent organic ingredients, this lightweight mist provides broad-spectrum UV protection whilst also helping to reduce shine and keep your makeup in place. Plus, it’s good for all skin types.

If you like to combine coverage with sun care, then IT Cosmetics’ award-winning CC Cream is the product for you. The colour-correcting, full coverage formulation works to hydrate, smoothe and enhance brightness, all whilst delivering SPF 5O protection.

It’s important to top up your SPF protection throughout the day, and this handy roll-on stick from Canadian brand LASPA makes that super easy. Plus, it’s made with 95.7% certified organic ingredients and offers 98% broad spectrum protection.
