I use this water-resistant sunscreen regularly. Where I live, Summer is hot and humid; and so far, this sunscreen hasn't spread into my eyes when I sweat. It's thick, sticky and gives a nice dewy look. Info from the product listing:


  • Formulated with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E.

  • Dermatologically Tested. Suitable for sensitive skin. Check the online reviews because it might be too thick and sticky for acne prone skin.

  • Paraben + Sulfate Free.

  • Water resistant up to 80 minutes.

  • Fragrance free.

  • Some reviewers say it works well on dark skin and does not leave a white cast.

  • Competitive price point - around $12.



 


Spray sunscreen is great for quick reapplications of SPF and for getting to those hard-to-reach places like the middle of your back! Info from the product listing:


  • This is a broad-spectrum sunscreen mist non-aerosol body spray that absorbs both UVA (aging) & UVB (burning) rays.

  • A high-performance, feel-good formula that absorbs easily & is water- & sweat-resistant up to 80 minutes.

  • This oxybenzone- & octinoxate-free mist includes vitamin C, green tea & acai extracts.

  • Unique bag-on-valve technology is powered by air (not chemical propellants) to ensure you get every drop of SPF.

  • It can even be sprayed on wet skin to reapply post dip in the pool or ocean.



 

I love this Korean sunscreen so much and always have a bottle on hand! I use it on my body when I don't need a heavy-duty sport or waterproof sunscreen. This sunscreen melts into my skin leaving only a light, fresh fragrance that my husband and I both enjoy. Info from the product listing:

  • This sunscreen has a light and refreshing lotion-like texture without stickiness. You can use this sunscreen on both your face and body.

  • Neopharm's patented technology MLE - moisturizing science formula, which reproduces skin structure, helps the sun cream to absorb quickly and can be used without stickiness even in hot summer.

  • Does not leave a white cast. SPF moisturizer can be removed by contact with hands or clothes, sweat, or sebum, so it is recommended to reapply the sunscreen every 2 hours

  • Five harmful ingredients that can be a burden to the skin have been excluded, and skin hypoallergenic testing has been completed through an authorized clinical institution (Paraben, mineral oil, artificial color, ethanol, phenoxyethanol)


 

I use this when I'm looking for a quick glow up but don't want to apply makeup. You can wear it as a primer under your makeup as well. In a pinch, you can also use it as a highlighter, it's that glowy. Info from the product listing:

  • Supergoop Glowscreen is a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 40 that helps filter blue light and doubles as a makeup-gripping primer for dewy, glowing skin that isn’t greasy or oily.

  • Supergoop's hydration blend helps boost moisture in the skin, leaving it feeling soft and nourished. Sea lavender provides antioxidant protection, while supporting long-lasting hydration.
