\n\tLathering on sunscreen isn\u2019t just an outdoor festivals and tours<\/a> activity, it\u2019s a year-round essential. Soaking up that vitamin D may feel good, but too much exposure can leave you with a red-hot sunburn \u2014 and that includes when you\u2019re at a music festival listening to your favorite artist.<\/p>\n \n\tWhether you\u2019re planning on spending extended periods outdoors at concerts or have beach days already lined up, you want to make sure you have proper sun protection.<\/p>\n \n\tNo matter if it\u2019s rain, shine, overcast or even partly cloudy, wearing a solid sunscreen will help keep your skin looking smooth and healthy. The last thing you want to deal with is sped-up signs of aging or, in worst cases, skin cancer. That\u2019s why <\/em>we spoke with with Dr. Angela J. Lamb<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist and associate professor of Dermatology and Dr. Bobby Buka, MD, JD<\/a> to discover the best sunscreens. <\/p>\n \n\tBefore you go and stock your cart, Lamb and Buka shared some tips to keep in mind, including how to know if the one you\u2019re using is truly \u201cthe best.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tNot all sunscreen formulas are made equally, which makes the ingredients and application especially important when looking for the right one.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI recommend something that will go on easily, feel good on people\u2019s skin and permit them to wear makeup on top if desired,\u201d she said. Lamb added that you should also look for ingredients such as oxide and titanium dioxide, as \u201cthose ingredients are going to help the sunscreen work immediately when applied to your skin.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIf you have oily skin, you\u2019ll want to consider a gel or spray sunscreen as Buka says it \u201cwill have a blotting effect on sheen.\u201d Whereas for dry and sensitive skin he would lean towards cream and lotions formulas \u201cfor their emollient, moisturizing effect.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tReapplication will depend on what you\u2019re doing, according to Lamb.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIf you are outside sweating or doing any sports, your sunscreen really needs to be reapplied approximately every 80 to 90 minutes,\u201d she said. \u201cIf you really only spend a little bit of time outside \u2014 maybe to or from work during your commute \u2014 you can put on sunscreen in the morning, and maybe, if the sun is still out when you leave to go home, reapply or use [a] powder [sunscreen] to touch it up.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tTo help upgrade your beauty routine and pack essential commuting gear during the summer season and beyond, check below to shop the best sunscreens, according to dermatologists, as well as some top-rated picks and celebrity favorites. <\/p>\n \n \n \t\t\t\tBuy Now On Amazon<\/span>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\tBuy Now on sephora<\/span>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\tBuy Now on ulta<\/span>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\tLamb likes this Unseen Sunscreen<\/a> from Supergoop for its lightweight formula that\u2019s both water- and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes once applied.

Buka considers the Dune Bod Guard to be a solid choice for its non-sticky and cooling formula. It\u2019s also water-resistant, comes with SPF 30 and is hypoallergenic for those who have more sensitive skin.<\/p>\n \u201cPatients really gravitate to DUNE\u2019s Bod Guard,\u201d he says. \u201c[It\u2019s] Quick to apply, set it, forget it and rock a day in the sun.\u201d\t<\/p>\n \n \n \t\t\t\tBuy Now On Amazon<\/span>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\tBuy Now on walmart<\/span>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\tBuy Now ulta<\/span>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\tLamb loves this Neutrogena\u2019s Mineral UV Tint<\/a> formula so much she uses it daily.

As someone with sensitive skin, finding a formula that doesn\u2019t leave my skin with a burning sensation can be difficult. I\u2019ve used CeraVe before and know that the ingredients are sensitive-skin friendly, which made it almost a no-brainer when determining what sunscreen brand to use. It\u2019s not only lightweight, but doesn\u2019t leave behind a chemical scent and, as an added bonus, it\u2019s the No. 1 bestseller on Amazon for facial sunscreens.\t<\/p>\n \n\tEven Hollywood has their favorite sun-protecting formulas they stock up on, which you can shop below.<\/p>\n \n \n \t\t\t\tBuy Now on walmart<\/span>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\tBuy Now on ulta<\/span>\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\tBlack Girl Sunscreen<\/a> has garnered much earned attention for creating a quality SPF that\u2019s fragrance free and long-lasting (like, up to 80 minutes!).
