How To Find The Right Body Sunscreens for Your Skin Type

Applying SPF is one way to help keep your skin protected from the damaging effects of the sun (read: fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots and skin cancer.) That being said, sunscreen application shouldn’t stop at the end of your neck. Any exposure to the sun puts you at risk for sun damage, so help stay protected by adding a body sunscreen to your daily skin-care routine. Ahead, we rounded up some of our favorite body sunscreens based on various skin types.

Formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and restorative ceramides, the CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen is the lightweight and nourishing formula that dry skin types need. It’s a mineral sunscreen that forms a protective barrier to help deflect UV rays away from the skin’s surface. 

Body Sunscreen for Oily Skin: Kiehl’s Activated Sun Protector Water-Light Lotion

Keep oily skin controlled and protected by lathering on the Kiehl’s Activated Sun Protector Lotion with SPF 30. It’s formulated for the face and body and has a lightweight, water-like texture to keep the skin hydrated without feeling weighed down.
