Protection with coverage? Yes, please.
The best level of protection for daily use is SPF 30 to 50, according to both Drs. Hartman and Shamban. You can find products with SPF 100, but “anything over SPF 50 has a minimal differential in percentage of protection,” Dr. Shamban explains. Many
provide about SPF 15, which isn’t enough for daily protection, so be sure to read the fine print and apply extra sunscreen on top if necessary. This comes down to personal preference, says Dr. Hartman. If you can’t go to the beach without getting in the ocean or you break a sweat as soon as you head outside, a water-resistant formula is your friend. You’ll typically find the duration of water resistance in minutes on the bottle . Take note of the time limit and reapply when needed.
Ensuring you have enough product to cover your whole complexion is important. There’s no golden rule when it comes to the amount to use, as everyone’s face size is different, but Dr. Hartman says two to three finger lengths of formula is a good benchmark. If you feel smothered, you can use a little less — the important part of SPF is staying loyal to daily application, Dr. Hartman says, so find something you feel comfortable wearing and fully commit to it.
