With the sun shining so bright it is important to use a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum sun protection. Here are six sunscreens that not only protect your skin from sunburn but also prevent premature ageing.

Instep Desk Summer is in its full glory and it’s time to invest in a sunscreen that will protect your skin against UVA and UVB rays and sunburn. In the past, applying a sunscreen meant donning a greasy, pore-clogging mask that left white residue on the skin. But the good news is that, with ever-evolving formulas and improved technology you can bid farewell to sun blocks that leave unflattering deposits on your skin. With so many options available, there’s literally no excuse not to give your skin the protection it needs. Moreover, it is important to look for a sun block that has an SPF of 25 or higher. Experts suggest reapplying your sunscreen after every two hours no matter how high the SPF is.

Read on as Instep gives you a lowdown of the six best sunscreens to use this summer.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Lotion SPF 50

This non-greasy sunscreen delivers superior broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and hydration with a water-light, refreshing feel. It is oil-free and non-comedogenic, which means it won’t clog pores. This water-resistant lightweight formula keeps your skin moisturized without leaving any greasy residue or white marks. It feels cool upon application and dries with a hydrating finish, thanks to an infusion of hyaluronic acid.

 

Shiseido Clear Stick UV Protector WetForce SPF 50+

This lightweight, portable stick provides a hefty dose of SPF 50, and is water and sweat resistant. This clear, convenient formula is totally transparent, so it’s easy to reapply sans a mirror. It also contains WetForce technology, which cues the UVA/UVB protection to amp up the longer you’re in water or perspiring from exercising.

Just a spritz of this sheer, oil-free sunscreen spray and you’re good to go. It is a lightweight sunscreen formula that is not only easy to use but also absorbs quickly, leaving the skin smooth.

As the name suggests, the sun protect & refresh spray provides UVA/UVB protection and has a pleasurable cooling effect that leaves your skin refreshed and smooth.
