THE SUN-CREAM CHECKLIST

At least SPF 30 or higher. Anything less won’t give you adequate protection.

Broad-spectrum coverage to protect your skin from both

UVA (ultraviolet ageing) and UVB (ultraviolet burning) rays (both can cause skin cancer).

A non-comedogenic formula, meaning it won’t clog your pores or cause acne.

A “clear” or “sheer” label, which basically means it won’t leave your skin looking chalky or ashy.
