28 best face sunscreens you’ll want to apply every day, according to dermatologists
While the world of skin care is highly personal, there’s one step that dermatologists agree everyone should be doing: applying sunscreen to your face. Practicing sun safety is about finding the product that works for you, one that you’ll actually apply (and reapply) daily and works with your lifestyle, whether that be a tinted formula that can double as makeup or a sweat-resistant lotion that will keep you protected during workouts.
“No matter the forecast — cloudy, rainy or full sun — SPF is nonnegotiable,” said Ian Michael Crumm, celebrity aesthetician and the 2025 #GetNaked spokesperson for the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF). Crumm’s work with the MRF reminds us that, in addition to practicing sun safety and wearing sunscreen daily, it’s important to schedule an annual skin check with your dermatologist for early detection of skin cancer.

After all, wearing sunscreen isn’t just about your skin care routine; it’s about your health too. Ultraviolet radiation, specifically UVB radiation, causes skin cancer, which can largely be prevented by staying out of the sun and wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen when you are exposed. That’s why sunscreen is considered a drug in the US, and you can use your FSA dollars to buy it: It reduces the risk of skin cancer. According to the MRF, nine out of 10 cases of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, are preventable. While squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer, are less lethal, they may still require surgery and can be disfiguring.
