Surprisingly, sunscreen for your face does more than just protect from the sun. Most of the sunscreen branded, especially for your face will have extra moisture and a lighter formula so it doesn't clog your pores and can keep your face feeling less greasy, so you're not tempted to touch it all the time, which is a bonus. Giving yourself a chance to add sunscreen into your daily routine is a nice way to add a little more self-care for yourself.

The great thing about having sunscreen for your face is that you can keep it on you all year instead of in the summer only. Because the oil or grease-free formula is lighter than non-face sunscreen, the benefits far outweigh any disadvantages that you may see from owning two separate kinds of sunscreen.

Facial sunscreen continually shields your skin from sun damage while offering the opportunity to moisturize at the same time. Many of the facial sunscreens in this list have dual or triple actions to give your skin the best advantages possible. Adding sunscreen for your face to your daily routine (underneath your makeup, if you wear any) will provide you with peace of mind, so you know you are taking the best care of your skin while still protecting yourself from any harm.

This sunscreen is a useful aid in the prevention of sun-induced skin damage. This prevention can include sunburn or premature aging. When used in a controlled manner, the product may help reduce the potential risk of skin cancer.

Although there are many benefits of sunscreen, especially when you use sunscreen for your face, it is important to note that the FDA is going to make some big changes to sunscreen regulations within the next few years. The organization is researching to see what ingredients are safe versus those that they deem unsafe (right now, the only sunscreens with ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide were reorganized as being safe for use). Once they reach a better understanding of active ingredients and how they affect those who use sunscreen, the FDA advises “Americans should continue to use a sunscreen with other sun-protective measures until the rulemaking efforts move forward.” The experts at the Good Housekeeping Beauty Lab also agree.

While it is a known fact that dermatologists agree with using sunscreen and make the claim that sunscreen on your face is one of the most important things you can do to keep your skin looking healthy for long-term use, facial sunscreen also helps keeps your skin moisturized.

UV rays and exposure can cause skin cancer and skin aging. Not only does SPF help prevent aging signs, but it can help improve crow’s feet and even your skin tone out by using SPF 30 or higher daily.

As you have read through this buyer’s guide, you have found that not all ingredients in sunscreen are equal to the other, and it is important to note what type of facial sunscreen you are looking for.

The Good Housekeeping scientists have researched and tested many of the latest sunscreens on the market and do so regularly. The research is conducted on current regulations and continue to use hundreds of testers throughout North America for evaluation of sunscreen and its benefits. Along with Good Housekeeping scientists, there are many other research labs, like the FDA, Consumer Reports, and many of the sunscreen manufacturers, who test sunscreen benefits plus disadvantages of active and inactive ingredients to find the best formula for the most people.

When you are searching for the best sunscreen for your face, there are a couple of qualities to look for and routines to implement. Once you commit to using sunscreen daily, make sure to apply it every day and remind yourself that you may need to reapply it as well.

When you search for sunscreen formula, you’ll have to choose between chemical and mineral sunscreens, sometimes favored by parents of babies and young children (there is also a third combination of these formulas that provide maximum protection). You’ll want your sunscreen for your face to have a broad-spectrum (which means it protects against UVA and UVB rays) and get a lotion that is 30 SPF or higher for the best protection. Keeping your face and skin protected will give you many advantages, such as avoiding skin cancer and avoiding overall dryness. You can add sunscreen to your daily routine and know that you are giving yourself the best care possible.
