Used regularly, the EltaMD formula leaves skin smooth, deeply hydrated, and nourished — and it only gets better over time. It's even noncomedogenic, so you never have to worry about it clogging your pores or leading to breakouts (even if you're prone to congestion). Whether you layer it under your makeup or wear it solo, it creates a nice, silky base. You can skip the foundation if you prefer, too. The tinted varieties provide just enough coverage to perfect your complexion without feeling heavy. Naturally, it's also free of other no-nos, like fragrance, dye, and parabens. The reviews are stellar, with people praising everything from its moisture content to its flattering tints. 'I've been using this product for years and it's my favorite sunscreen. It's not oily or greasy and it doesn't leave a white residue. Perfect for my acne prone skin,' raved one shopper. 'The best sunscreen I have ever used,' said another. 'Great coverage!'

Whether you're headed to the beach or just enjoying an outdoor brunch with friends, it's important to take every precaution to protect your skin. EltaMD UV Daily Sunscreen makes that easy. Once you get started, you'll wonder how your skin managed without it!

7 Best Scalp Sunscreens, According to Dermatologists
While you can certainly rub any standard sunscreen onto your part and any exposed area of your scalp, there are certain sunscreens that are better suited for this area. 'Scalp sunscreens are formulated to be light weight and be less greasy,' explains Castila. 'You can still use body or face sunscreen on your scalp, but it may not be the most cosmetically elegant option. For targeted protection, like along the hair part, a stick sunscreen is often the easiest to apply as it gives you more control over the application.' She also recommends opting for sprays, creams or sticks, as you may not get as much targeted UV protection from a powder. That said, 'mineral powder SPF for the scalp as it's easier to use when traveling, and it also doesn't make the hair greasy,' says Kobets. And, any sun protection is better than none at all—so if you're more likely to use a powdered formula, then that's an ideal option. 'You can also use a zinc stick since those are easier to carry on the go and reapply throughout the day,' she says. Castilla advises using sunscreen labeled 'broad spectrum' with SPF 30 or greater.
