From drugstore creams to fine-fragrance mists, these are our absolute favorites.
Back in the day, applying full-body sunscreen was the worst part about beach days. There weren't many options beyond the goopy, greasy, plaster-like formulas you were forced to apply every two hours, regardless of your skin type or skin tone. Thankfully, those days are over, and the body sunscreen category is honestly better than ever.
“I once made the mistake of not applying sun protection to my scalp while wearing box braids. Spoiler: My poor scalp paid a red, achy price that ended in flakes in my braids for weeks. That day, I learned the hard way that you can’t skimp on sun protection for your scalp. Now when my scalp is exposed, you will not catch me without this SPF mist.
“This spray sunscreen is one of the only SPF products I actually enjoy applying. The formula mists on evenly and melts into my skin like butter—no white cast or weird sunscreen blobs to redistribute—and despite its SPF 30 rating, it managed to keep my pale, sensitive skin from burning for the entire week I spent in Greece last summer. But my favorite is the fragrance: a magical mix of coconut, banana, and pool water that never fails to transport me back to paradise.
