You’ve sourced out a sunny spot at the beach where you can spend the entire day hanging out with friends. When it’s time for everyone to strip down to their skimpy bathers, your friend offers you some sunscreen and you reply “No thanks, I don’t burn.”

This momentary lapse of judgement results in an excruciating sunburn that allows you to only take cold showers for five days—it happens every year.

We want to be the ones who help you break this unpleasant cycle.

We’ve put together a list of our favourite sunscreens so that you won’t have to spend days lying naked on the couch, covered in aloe vera jelly. Summer is too short for that.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Sunscreen SPF 50 with Hyaluronic Acid

Usually we save the best for last but not when it comes to sunscreen. Neutrogena Hydro Boost SPF 50 is ideal for those who wear sunscreen on a daily basis. It’s non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) and won’t make your face feel sticky or appear white and streaky. This sunscreen can be worn under makeup and will leave your skin feeling hydrated, thanks to the hyaluronic acid. It provides protection from UVA and UVB rays, and comes in a SPF 30 option as well. Neutrogena’s sunscreen with impressive moisturizing powers can be purchased on Amazon for $13.37.

Pair this sunscreen with a trendy denim bucket hat and you’re good to go.
