Your morning skin-care routine isn't complete without sunscreen. The American Academy of Dermatology has three major requirements when it comes to sunscreen: that it provides broad-spectrum protection (meaning it protects against both UVA and UVB rays), has an SPF of at least 30, and is water-resistant. Regardless of whether you spend most of your time indoors or outdoors, it's crucial to wear sunscreen daily. The great news is that nowadays, there are so many pleasantly textured options available on the market that make applying them actually enjoyable.

So if sunscreen is missing from your daily routine, it's high time to incorporate one. Below, we've compiled a selection of beloved face sunscreens, body sunscreens, and even more unique sunscreen products that come personally recommended by our editors or highly praised by countless shoppers. Our list features popular brands such as Supergoop!, EltaMD, Kopari, and more, all conveniently available on Amazon. Keep scrolling to discover our top picks.

Best SPF Lip Balm

Sun Bum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm ($3, originally $4)

Don't forget about your lips! This lip balm uses a mineral sunscreen blocker (namely, zinc oxide) to create a protective barrier against the sun's rays. Plus, it uses coconut and aloe vera to give your lips a dose of soothing hydration.

Best Sunscreen For Oily SKin

Bioré UV Aqua Rich SPF 50 Moisturizing Sunscreen ($16)

There's a good reason why this hyaluronic acid-infused sunscreen is dominating social media and boasting high ratings on Amazon. A shopper who rated it five stars so eloquently described it as "light enough to not leave me greasy but moisturizing enough to leave me hydrated." One of our editors, who's also a fan, further elaborated on its unique formulation, explaining that "at first, it comes out as an opaque white, thick cream gel-like texture, but then when I blend, it sheers out into a completely transparent, weightless formula that quickly absorbs into the skin," she said.

Best K-Beauty Sunscreen

Innisfree Daily UV Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 36 Invisible Sunscreen ($18)

Innisfree is one of the most popular K-Beauty brands on the market, and among its standout products is this viral SPF 36 sunscreen. One of our editors is obsessed with it, particularly for its invisible formula that gives the skin a subtle dewy glow. "The Innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen leaves no white cast on the skin, allowing me to layer on as much as I need to for adequate coverage and protection," our editor wrote in her Innisfree Daily UV Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 36 Invisible Sunscreen review.

Best Sunscreen Spray

Best Sunscreen Spray

COOLA Organic Sunscreen SPF 50 Sunblock Spray ($20, originally $28)

This body sunscreen isn't just a pretty bottle. In addition to SPF 50, it boasts antioxidant-rich ingredients including raspberry seed oil, buriti oil, and prickly pear extract, which simultaneously help fight skin-damaging free radicals and nourish your skin. Plus, it's earned the coveted Amazon label of "Popular Brand Pick," with a nearly-perfect five-star rating.

Best Sunscreen Oil

Best Sunscreen Oil

Vacation Chardonnay Oil SPF 30 + Air Freshener Bundle ($23)

As it turns out, you can have your body oil and your SPF, too. Not only is the packaging of this sunscreen oil as nostalgic as they come, but its formula is dreamy. It uses a blend of Chardonnay Grape seed oil that gives your skin a gorgeous glow, jojoba and shea oil to nourish your skin, and SPF 30. One of our editors tried it when it launched in 2021 (with a 1,700-person waitlist, FYI), and described it poetically. In her review of the Vacation Chardonnay Oil SPF 30, she wrote: "Applying the Chardonnay Oil is a full sensory experience — the scent is so wildly nostalgic, with serious notes of coconut and banana and hints of tangy chlorine, musky sweat, and salty Lycra spandex thrown in. When I slather it on, I'm instantly back on Sanibel Island, next to the hotel pool in a Limited Too tankini, hoping my tan lines get even more pronounced so I can show them off in school."

Best Gel Sunscreen
amazon.com

Best Gel Sunscreen

The Mug Guard Clear Invisible Gel Sunscreen for Face ($28)

When one of our editors tried out this sunscreen line last year, she was impressed by the comfortable texture of its formulas. Clearly, others were too, as its products are completely sold out on Amazon, except for its Mug Guard. What sets it apart from the other facial sunscreen, the Mineral Melt, is Mug Guard's refreshing gel texture that absorbs rapidly, leaving no greasy residue and making it ideal for wearing under makeup.

Best Fluid Sunscreen

Best Fluid Sunscreen

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen SPF 60 ($33)

If you're looking for a non-greasy choice, try this popular fluid sunscreen from La Roche-Posay. It's an excellent option for those who hate sunscreens that feel heavy on the skin. This one's as lightweight as it gets and uses both mineral and chemical sunscreen agents for comprehensive protection.

Best Glowy Body Sunscreen

Best Glowy Body Sunscreen

Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow SPF 50 ($41)

According to our editor, this chemical body sunscreen is a far cry from the white, goopy sunscreens of her childhood. Its lightweight, clear gel formula glides on effortlessly and it uses mica to give you a sun-kissed glow without risking your skin's health. See it in action in our Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow SPF 50 review.

Best Dermatologist-Recommended Sunscreen
amazon.com

Best Dermatologist-Recommended Sunscreen

EltaMD UV Clear Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 ($43)

Dermatologists often recommend this sunscreen for everyday use, and it's safe to say that shoppers are equally obsessed. It contains both mineral and chemical sunscreen filters, along with gentle ingredients that work great on sensitive and acne-prone skin. Its texture is silky-smooth, lightweight, and doesn't have an overwhelming sunscreen smell. In other words, it's an elevated take on the sunscreens you grew up with and hated. It even comes in a tinted version ($45) if you want a little coverage.

Best Glowy Sunscreen

Best Glowy Sunscreen

Supergoop! Glowscreen (SPF 40) ($48)

Supergoop!'s Glowscreen lives up to its name, doubling as both a chemical sunscreen and a glow-boosting makeup primer. Our editor raved about it, saying, "The formula has a light, barely-there tint and a pearlescent shine that looks like you bathed in highlighter (but like, in a really, really good way). I smeared it on with my fingertips and found it absorbed within seconds. It feels hydrating immediately upon application thanks to hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, but not greasy or wet like the sunscreen you grew up slathering on before pool days."
