1. Consumer Reports Tested 73 Sunscreens, and This Formula Got a Perfect Score – Byrdie

You already know how important it is to wear sunscreen, but not all of them are created equal. Some formulas give next-to-nothing protection even if applied – a big money waster, if you ask me. The honour for the perfect sunscreen formula apparently goes to a product called Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen, produced by the company La Roche Posay.

  • Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 by Equate ($5 for 237ml);
  • Quik Gel Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 by Bull Frog ($9 for 147ml);
  • Water Babies and Ultra Guard by Coppertone ($7 for 237ml);
  • Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen by Neutrogena ($11 for 88ml).
