9 Sheer Sunscreens That Won't Leave White Marks on Your SuitProtecting skin is a must, but come on, we want to be cute about it |
Estimate: I spend at least 50 percent of my time by the pool rubbing white streaks off of my swimsuit. For someone who's compulsive about covering every inch of her body -- and that should be all of you -- a sheer sunscreen is a summer must-have. Aside from broad spectrum protection, the most important part of a sunscreen is that it's user-friendly enough for you to want to reapply all beach day long.
According to Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, MD, Director of Capital Laser and Skin Care in Chevy Chase, Maryland, sunscreen "most likely goes on white due to the physical sunscreen ingredients like zinc and titanium [dioxide]." So, how can you make sure your skin is protected without resembling a white-nosed lifeguard? We scoured the stores for chemical- and mineral-based formulas that won't stain your clothes or your suit. Because keeping your skin protected shouldn't make you look like a white-streaked hot mess.
