How To Find A Sunscreen That Won't Break You Out
The most common issue most people have with sunscreen for the face is that it breaks them out. Certainly, sunscreen formulas can feel heavy on the skin and potentially clog pores, especially when combined with sweating, sea or pool water, sand and reapplication (which should be every two hours or after water exposure or sweating). 'Breakouts from sunscreen are usually from the ingredients and your skin's sensitivity,' said Dr. Richard Bottiglione, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Dermatologist's Choice Skincare. HuffPost spoke to three board-certified dermatologists on which ingredients can break you out, offering some tips on how to find a product that works for you. Ingredients That Can Make You Break Out Sunscreen formulas often contain heavier ingredients, when compared with moisturizing creams, that may be comedogenic — i.e., pore-clogging — such as certain oils, waxes and silicones. And this is especially problematic for people with acne-prone skin, explainedDr. Elizabeth Bahar Houshmand, a double-board-certified dermatologist. Additionally, these thick or heavier ingredients can trap sebum and gunk that would otherwise be excreted. And sunscreen can also contain UV filters, preservatives and extracts 'that can irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin, triggering inflammation that then looks like acne or other blemishes,' said Dr. Dusan Sajic, a double-board-certified dermatologist. Generally, formulas that include coconut derivatives, dense waxes or heavy oils high up on the ingredient list can clog pores, said Sajic. Experts recommend picking sunscreens with lighter formulas that don't include the aforementioned ingredients, because thicker creams may increase the accumulation of sweat, oil and bacteria, potentially exacerbating acne as well as causing irritation in the skin. Chemical vs. Physical Filter-Based Sunscreens Whether a sunscreen will break you out or not depends on the whole formula, not just the filter. 'Minerals (like zinc or titanium) are inert but need a good vehicle: if it's too thick, you'll still risk clogged pores. Chemical sunscreens often come in lighter gels, but the filters themselves can irritate some people,' said Sajic. 'Chemical sunscreens are more likely to cause breakouts than mineral sunscreens,' noted Houshmand. 'This occurs because chemical sunscreens work by being absorbed into the skin, converting UV rays into heat. This absorption process and the ingredients themselves, like oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octinoxate, may cause irritation for some people, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Chemical sunscreens, especially combined with the heat, sweat and sebum, can cause acne,' she added. 'The trick is a balanced formula: lightweight texture and soothing, barrier-friendly additives. Don't get obsessed over 'mineral versus chemical.' Instead, look at how it feels on the skin and what extras it includes,' Sajic added. An extra tip that may help you, depending on the season: For hot and humid months, opt for a gel or fluid formula, and for drier months, picking a richer but still non-comedogenic, barrier-supporting formula can help, per Sajic. Are Oil-Free And Non-Comedogenic Formulas The Answer? This isn't as straightforward as brands may make us believe, as 'oil-free' and 'non-comedogenic' have to do with how these claims are tested by each brand, explained Sajic. 'Use oil-free and non-comedogenic as a starting point, then glance at the full ingredient list and do a patch test. 'Oil-free' means no added oils, but there may be silicones or esters that feel oily, so still check the texture,' said Sajic. Still, 'no oil in the formulation has the best chance of avoiding acne breakouts,' noted Bottiglione. 'I share with my patients to look for these terms not only on their sunscreen but skin care products, makeup and any products they will use on their skin,' agreed Houshmand. Avoid These Common Sunscreen Mistakes That May Cause Breakouts The first step when buying a new sunscreen is to patch test it for a few days, to check if a formula breaks you out or not. 'Using exfoliants or retinoids in your routine makes your barrier and skin more sensitive, so look out for barrier-supporting and soothing ingredients,' like niacinamide, ceramide precursors, peptides, panthenol or gentle peptides and antioxidants, said Sajic. 'Terms like 'barrier repair,' 'adaptive hydration' or 'multi-peptide complex' can hint at these,' he added. Reapplication can also cause breakouts, as the potentially irritating ingredients accumulate on the skin. Plus, 'When you're sweating outside, or at the pool, or at the beach, this can be a bigger issue because the sweat and dirt are major contributors to breakouts,' noted Bottiglione. To minimize the risk of breakouts when you are reapplying, you can opt for lighter formulas like sprays, powders or cushion compacts. Lightly cleansing the skin with a micellar wipe before reapplying could be helpful, said Sajic. A quick mist of a hypochlorous acid spray that naturally disinfects the skin is also a good choice. Make sure to let it fully dry before reapplying your sunscreen. Related: 'A common mistake is using a sunscreen formulated for the body and applying it on the face,' warned Houshmand, while offering a helpful tip: 'Always wash your hands before applying your sunscreen and when washing your sunscreen off at the end of the day.' Another reason sunscreen may be breaking you out — because you don't cleanse your skin properly at the end of the day! Even if you aren't wearing makeup, a deep, thorough cleanse is recommended to remove any sunscreen residue, sweat and debris from the skin. Sunscreen is formulated to form a film on the skin, so a simple micellar cleanse won't do. 'If sunscreen is not thoroughly cleansed at the end of the day, residue can accumulate and lead to breakouts,' said Houshmand. TL;DR The possibility of a sunscreen breaking you out in the summer depends on various factors, including the formula, ingredients, reapplication and accumulation of sweat, sand, salt or chlorine, all of which play their part. Ultimately, the best sunscreen for you is one that you will use consistently every day, all year round. The experts recommend you pick a broad-spectrum formula and a texture and feel that you like, so you can apply (and reapply) the appropriate amount. Words like 'weightless' and 'invisible finish' are good indicators of that. Related: Looking for a great sunscreen? These are some of our favorites.

Prices and availability are subject to change. Dermstore EltaMD UV Restore SPF 40 If you're looking for a sunscreen that doubles as anti-aging skin care, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal recommended the EltaMD UV Restore sunscreen. She said, "sunscreens that combine physical blockers with antioxidants like niacinamide, vitamin C, or DNA-repair enzymes" can help combat oxidative stress and visible signs of aging. This particular SPF has with squalane and ginger root extract, both of which support skin health and appearance. $46 at Dermstore $46 at Amazon Sephora Ultra Violette Future Screen SPF 50 The cult-fave Australian brand Ultra Violette is finally available in the US at Sephora! If anyone knows how to protect their skin from harmful rays, it's Southern Hemisphere-dwelling Australians. I stock up on their sunscreens and lip balms every time I'm Down Under, and this development is a real thrill for skin care lovers. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jessie Cheung of Chicago's Cheung Aesthetics & Wellness told HuffPost that this must-have SPF is 'packed with mineral blockers to protect from the harsh Aussie sun, but feels silky and lightweight.' $40 at Sephora Amazon L'Oreal Paris Bright Reveal Broad Spectrum Daily SPF 50 According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Alexander Witkowski, one of the most noteworthy new sunscreens of the season is this SPF 50 fluid from L'Oreal. He told HuffPost that it has an innovative formula that "combines advanced sun protection with skin-brightening benefits." It's enriched with vitamin C and vitamin E, which can help "to reduce the appearance of dark spots and promote a more even, radiant complexion." He is also a fan of the lightweight finish that doesn't leave a white cast and the fact that it is formulated for sensitive skin. $25 at Amazon $33 at Ulta $26 at Walgreens Amazon Isdin Eryfotona Actinica SPF 50+ Both Badreshia-Bansal and Cheung recommended this Barcelona-based skin care brand's sunscreen. It is 100% mineral-based and infused with skin-loving ingredients that make it a great multitasker. It is one of the most comfortable mineral sunscreen formulas I've tried. It's formulated with zinc oxide, DNA repair enzymes and vitamin E — so not only is it preventing sun damage, but it's helping to nourish and repair the skin as well. The Isdin sunscreen is significantly lighter and easier to blend than traditional mineral SPFs, and doesn't have that lingering zinc smell that personally drives me up the wall. It dries down to a soft matte and is a nice base for dewy makeup looks. While this sunscreen blends well, there is a very slight white cast that's typical of a mineral sunscreen formulation. The combination of lightweight finish, formula and UV protection has made it worth the troubleshooting. Many shoppers noted that it's great for anyone who has sensitive skin, rosacea and skin cancer. $46 at Dermstore $46 at Sephora Amazon Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Oxide Dry-Touch mineral sunscreen SPF 50 When you're going to hit the beach or pool, water-resistant formulas are key. Badreshia-Bansal said, "Look for something labeled 'water resistant (80 minutes)' and at least SPF 50. I recommend mineral sticks or lotions because they tend to be more photostable." In previous reporting, Dr. Brandan Camp, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology, said, "This lightweight, non-greasy product provides SPF 50 protection and contains zinc oxide as the active ingredient," Camp said. It's specially formulated with antioxidants to be water-resistant, is naturally sourced and dries down quickly without leaving a greasy finish. $19 at Amazon $13 at Walmart Elemis Elemis Pro-Collagen SPF 50 This silky sunscreen is one of Elemis' newest products, but given how great it is, you'd think the brand has been in the SPF game for decades. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and absolutely love it. I'm extremely fussy about sunscreen texture, finish and scent — and luckily this beauty knocks it out of the ballpark on all counts while providing powerful SPF 50 protection. It's a sheer, imperceptible fluid that dries down quickly with no white cast and leaves your complexion looking radiant and dewy, never greasy. I can't help but add it to this list of must-haves that your skin will love. $70 at Elemis Dermstore EltaMD UV AOX mist SPF 40 For beach days, Cheung recommends a water-resistant SPF, preferably a mineral formula that won't cause your eyes to sting or slide off when you're sweating in the sun. She pointed out that the EltaMD UV AOX Mist is great for full body coverage, since it "sprays on white but dries clear, so you won't miss any spots. It also has 360-degree sprayability, so you can apply it upside down." $46 at Dermstore $46 at Amazon Ulta La Roche-Posay Anthelios tinted light fluid sunscreen SPF 50 Badreshia-Bansal said, "I'm really impressed by the new La Roche-Posay Anthelios mineral tinted SPF 50+ Fluid – it's sheer, has a universal tint, and offers high UVA/UVB protection with 100% mineral filters. It's ideal for sensitive skin and has a great, elegant feel." Perfect for those days when you don't want to wear makeup want an easy pick-me-up. $40 at Ulta $40 at Amazon Amazon CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30 According to Witkowski, this CeraVe lotion with SPF 30 is "an excellent, affordable and widely accessible option for a daily morning routine." It provides sun protection while doubling as a moisturizer and is formulated with ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to support skin barrier health and hydration while also soothing irritation.. He also pointed out that it's non-comedogenic and fragrance-free, making it appropriate for sensitive and acne-prone skin. $15 at Amazon $16 at Ulta $15 at Target Ulta Blue Lizard Sensitive mineral sunscreen SPF 50+ Another Badreshia-Bansal recommendation for days spent outdoors, this reef-safe mineral sunscreen from Australia contains no active chemicals and is suitable for use on sensitive skin. It's also sweat- and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes so you can enjoy all types of outdoor activities without worry. $13 at Ulta $12 at CVS Merit Merit The Uniform tinted mineral SPF 45 This sunscreen from the internet- and celeb-beloved beauty brand Merit is hot off the presses, and promises to be a lovely choice for those who want a sunscreen option that also offers a soft splash of color. It features a formulation that's designed to be lightweight and buildable with a silky, soft and velvety sheer finish to impart a natural glow, while also helping to smooth and blur the look of skin. It's available in 15 blendable hues. Be one of the first to check out this SPF. $38 at Merit Amazon La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Sunscreen Dry Touch SPF 60 Having earned The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation, this La Roche-Posay is Witkowski's personal favorite and 'go-to' sunscreen, both for daily use and for days with extended sun exposure. It's also what he uses on his four-year-old child on beach days, bike rides or hikes. He noted that this oil-free SPF is very popular among dermatologists and is formulated with antioxidants that can help protect the skin from environmental damage. He also noted that it contains senna alata, "a tropical leaf extract known for its ability to combat oxidative stress and support the prevention of premature skin aging." You can't go wrong with this non-comedogenic, water-resistant formula that is also well-suited for sensitive skin. $20+ at Amazon $20 at Ulta Dermstore EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 Badreshia-Bansal echoed the saying that "the best SPF for daily use is one that you'll actually wear — lightweight, invisible and comfortable under makeup." She recommends a mineral SPF with low irritation potential, like this cult-fave SPF that is beloved by both HuffPost readers and editors alike. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid to deeply moisturize skin while the inclusion of lactic acid lightly exfoliates skin and can help to reduce hyperpigmentation and shine. It's a great option for people like me with sensitive and acne-prone skin. I turn to it anytime I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the sun or when I'm post-procedure and want to protect my skin without irritating it. $44 at Dermstore $44 at Amazon Amazon TiZO2 facial sunscreen and primer "I recommend Tizo 2 Facial Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 for individuals seeking both high-performance sun protection and anti-aging benefits," said Witkowski. It's enriched with powerful antioxidants that canhelp neutralize free radicals and support overall skin health, while the gentle formulation makes it well-suited for sensitive and post-procedure skin. He also pointed out that it has a matte finish that "wears comfortably under makeup." $45 at Amazon $25 at Target (regularly $45) Dermstore Lancer mineral Sun Shield universal tint SPF 30 Cheung recommends a lightweight, tinted mineral SPF with antioxidants for everyday wear, like the Lancer Mineral Sun Shield SPF. "It multitasks as sun protection, skincare and a glow-up in one," she said. The iron oxides that provide the tint can also help to protect your skin from blue light, which penetrates deeper than UVB and contributes to hyperpigmentation. She added that this sunscreen "soothes while protecting and reducing sun damage, and will blend into all skin tones." $60 at Dermstore More And More Men Choose Not To Wear Metal Wedding Bands — Here's Why Dermatologists Say Your Moisturizer Could Be Causing Acne.

It's time — meet 2025's All-Breakout fantasy football team, full of players ready to be unleashed
There are a few different ways to win fantasy football championships, but one of the most tried and true is identifying and drafting breakouts. Very few teams that drafted Baker Mayfield, James Cook and Drake London at their preseason prices last year fell short of the goal. Finding a superstar in the middle rounds, or an every-week starter at the end of drafts, is an advantage worth pursuing year in and year out. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] So who are these diamonds-in-the-rough for 2025? May I present: The 2025 All-Breakout Team. (Note: I'm not considering rookies for this article, only veterans with previously established expectations.) QuarterbackHighest Finish: QB20 in 2024 After beating out Bo Nix (too good last year), Drake Maye (too chalk) and even Trevor Lawrence (great pick, but you can read my 2025 surprises piece for that), former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young is 2025's All-Breakout quarterback. Young struggled mightily over the first 27 appearances of his young career, averaging just 173 passing yards per game and throwing 19 touchdowns and 19 interceptions. However, after a year under Dave Canales, we started to see his potential upside at the end of last season. Over his last three contests, Young jumped up to 204 passing YPG and threw seven TDs with zero interceptions, while also rushing for 100 yards and three touchdowns! His 26.8 fantasy points per game over that stretch were a glimpse of what Carolina traded up to get at the top of the 2023 draft. Now entering Year 2 under Canales, Young has a borderline top-10 offensive line, a couple of intriguing sophomore wideouts in Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker, and eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, widely considered the best receiver in this class. Young and McMillan already look sharp in camp and in preseason action, catching the attention of the fantasy community in early August: Young is the QB27 in ADP, so he's completely free in 1QB leagues and a relatively cheap backup even in 2QB leagues. Tuck him onto your bench or flag him for the waiver wire, and don't be surprised if he's a legitimate QB1 in fantasy in a matter of weeks. Running BacksHighest Finish: RB16 in 2024 I wanted to put D'Andre Swift here, but like Lawrence, he already made my 2025 surprises column. In his stead, the RB1 slot goes to Isiah Pacheco. While Pacheco did have an RB2 finish in 2023, he missed three games that season and has never cracked the top 12 (or 1,000 yards rushing) in his three-year career. Fortunately, the recipe for Pacheco's breakout isn't complicated. Through his last eight games of 2023 — including Kansas City's Super Bowl run — and the first two of 2024 (before he fractured his fibula), Pacheco averaged 16.6 fantasy points per game. That mark would have been good for RB6 last year. Over that span, his 17-game pace was 1,640 scrimmage yards and 15 touchdowns. Unfortunately, Pacheco rushed back from surgery last year and was never fully healthy for the rest of the season, derailing his breakout and leaving a poor taste in fantasy managers' mouths. Now, he's being drafted as the RB23 down in the sixth round. Even with Pacheco's injury, the Chiefs indexed heavily towards the run last year — 41% rush rate and 26.5 attempts per game were both their highest in the Patrick Mahomes era. With Pacheco back to full strength atop an uninspiring depth chart, he should be a focal point of the offense and could finally break the fantasy RB1 ceiling in Finish: RB32 in 2024 Tank Bigsby's name cropped up in the ADP Risers' honorable mentions section this week, but he's still down at RB35, one spot ahead of teammate Travis Etienne Jr. Perhaps outside of Dallas, Jacksonville's backfield is the murkiest of the 2025 offseason, with Bigsby, Etienne and rookie Bhayshul Tuten (RB49) all drawing consideration. One week of preseason usage might suggest Etienne sits atop the depth chart — he saw all the first-team reps against Pittsburgh — but reporting out of camp has more heavily favored Bigsby as the early-down lead of a Duval committee. Ultimately, it looks like Liam Coen & Co. are willing to let the best back earn the job — or potentially to ride the hot hand. If we're looking at last season, both those approaches favor Bigsby. He outcarried, outgained and outscored Etienne (seven touchdowns to two), while posting elite numbers in yards after contact and avoided tackle rate. In Coen's more creative (and likely more efficient) offense, I see Bigsby as the Bucky Irving to Etienne's Rachaad White (and Tuten's Sean Tucker). Irving broke out to be the fantasy RB14 last year ... if Bigsby does indeed earn a similar workload, he has a very similar ceiling. Wide ReceiversHighest Finish: WR29 in 2024 It's only Year 2 for Marvin Harrison Jr., but considering his "generational" prospect profile, that's already "late" for his fantasy breakout. Unfortunately, MHJ's rookie season was marred by questionable usage — 71% of his targets came outside the numbers, second-highest in the league behind George Pickens — and a severe lack of chemistry with Kyler Murray — his 53% catch rate was abysmal. Despite all that, Harrison demanded a monster 43% team air yards share, averaged 14.3 yards per reception and scored eight touchdowns ... numbers that put him in conversations with Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, A.J. Green and others of their ilk. Harrison's detractors would argue that "little has changed" in Arizona, and that's somewhat fair — HC Jonathan Gannon and OC Drew Petzing still run the team, Kyler Murray is still inconsistent and prone to error and Arizona still has a middling offensive line. But this is a bet on the player. Transcendent talent usually wins in the NFL and every talent evaluator in the league would tell you Harrison has it. It's why he was this regime's choice at fourth overall just 14 months ago. Oh, and he added 10+ pounds of muscle this offseason to make himself that much more dangerous. Doubt Harrison if you wish, but a 2025 breakout could put him as high as the WR1 Finish: WR38 in 2024 It could be argued that Ricky Pearsall of the 49ers is the real frontrunner here, but after going with a rookie at WR1, it felt right to diversify. (*Ahem* See the FLEX position below.) The next man up? Bills receiver Khalil Shakir. After two years of relative obscurity behind Stefon Diggs, Shakir emerged for 76 catches and 821 yards on 100 targets last year. You could argue it was a mini-breakout, but it only resulted in a WR38 finish. However, he clearly earned Josh Allen's increasing trust through the course of the season, logging 13 straight games with 6+ targets from Week 7 through the AFC Championship. The only guys to record a longer streak last year were Ja'Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, Davante Adams, Malik Nabers and Garrett Wilson. Along with his consistent volume in the Buffalo offense, Shakir's career catch rate sits at 75.8% while his yards per reception clock in at 12.7. Is that good? Well, here's a yards per reception leaderboard of the four wideouts in the recorded history of targets to post a catch rate above 75% on at least 100 career Catch Pct. Yards/Reception Khalil Shakir 75.8 12.7 Rashee Rice 78.6 11.9 Michael Thomas 76.0 11.6 Amon-Ra St. Brown 75.4 11.3 Uh, yeah. That's good. In 2024, Shakir's 2.15 yards per route run and 25% target per route run rate were both excellent, and indicative of a receiver likely to break out for more volume in the future. He's the top target in an elite offense with an elite quarterback. Sign me up, as he's expected to be fully ready for Week 1 after suffering a high-ankle sprain in training camp. Tight End TE Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars Highest Finish: TE31 in 2024 I won't lie, this was a tough one. I considered T.J. Hockenson and Evan Engram, but both have been too elite before. I almost broke the rookie rule for Tyler Warren or Colston Loveland, but I abide by the law (that I made up). I contemplated recycling the ADP Riser blurb on Jake Ferguson ... or even nominating Kyle Pitts Sr. But in the end, the 2025 All-Breakout tight end is none other than Brenton Strange — the second Jaguars player to make the team (shoutout Liam Coen). Last year, Strange played eight games for the Jaguars without Evan Engram. He saw at least four targets in five of those contests, topped 60 receiving yards in three of them, and even logged a game with 12 targets, 11 catches and 73 yards in Week 15. Now entering his third season — prime breakout territory for his position — Strange is the top tight end on the depth chart and arguably the No. 3 option for Trevor Lawrence, behind Brian Thomas Jr. and rookie Travis Hunter. He's a former second-round pick with solid athleticism and run-after-catch ability, and Cade Otton — arguably a lesser prospect — saw a fringe-TE1 year-three breakout in Liam Coen's offense last year. Strange is all but free at TE24 cost in the double-digit rounds, and could break into that every-week starter territory we touched on at the top. FLEX WR Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers Highest Finish: WR81 in 2024 That's right, I got Ricky Pearsall onto the team after all! The former Florida Gator was the 31st overall pick of last year's draft before suffering a gunshot wound just before the season and missing the first six games in recovery. Pearsall was eased back in at the end of October, and while he logged a four-catch, 73-yard performance with a touchdown in Week 10, he all but disappeared again until the last two games of the season. Then, in Week 17, the rookie blazed into prominence with an eight-catch, 141-yard, 1-TD day against the Lions, and followed it up with 69 yards and another score in Week 18. Strong finishes to rookie WR seasons are cause for excitement, and Pearsall's no exception. Suddenly, heading into 2025, he might be the WR1 for Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco. Deebo Samuel Sr. is gone, Brandon Aiyuk is recovering from a multi-ligament knee injury (and will be through most of the 2025 season) and Jauan Jennings is currently mired in turmoil both physical (calf) and financial (contract dispute). Even if the Jennings cloud clears and Aiyuk returns by midseason, Pearsall might top the pecking order just on talent and investment alone. He's the WR43 in Yahoo ADP and 85th overall among "FLEX" players, but could be a breakout WR3 (or better) early in the year.
