#ORGANIC SUNSCREEN TARGET SKIN#

To be clear, we didn’t test how well these sunscreens protect skin from the sun - for that, we relied on information from the US Food and Drug Administration and the experts we talked to (scroll down to see what they had to say). We avoided sunscreens that have oxybenzone, or either of the two active ingredients the FDA proposed as unsafe (aminobenzoic acid and trolamine salicylate). Our pool included both mineral and chemical broad-spectrum sunscreens with a minimum SPF of 30. We narrowed down a pool of 12 contenders and went hands-on with each of them for several weeks. To help you find the best sunscreen, we talked to experts about the active ingredients and other important factors you should look for. But even if trips to the beach are getting few and far between, that doesn’t mean you should stop wearing sunscreen, since you should be wearing it indoors anyway as part of your skin care routine (yes, really!). That’s why wearing a proper sunscreen is essential when spending time in the sun.

And even if you don’t burn so easily (or at all), it’s still important to shield yourself from exposure to the sun’s rays, since they can cause damage to your skin in other ways, including skin cancer and premature aging. There’s no worse way to ruin what was an amazing day at the beach than getting home and realizing you’re as red as a lobster. Whether you’ve got fair skin, a darker skin tone or land somewhere in the middle, protecting your skin from the sun is important.
