Why You'll Love It:
Yes, reapplying when you just want to enjoy your nap on the beach is frustrating, but it has to be done (I'm turning into my grandmother every day). If I'm at a beach or pool you can usually find me in the water, meaning I have to apply sunscreen twice as often. Whereas most sport formulas require reapplying after 40 minutes of sweating or swimming, this Alba sunscreen gives you a full 80 minutes. It's not perfect, but it does make life easier (you can even pick it up on your nightly run to Whole Foods). And since it's packed with natural, nourishing ingredients like green tea, vitamin E and aloe vera, it feels more like moisturizing than reapplying sunscreen.
Or Try:
Avène High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50, $34
I'm constantly concerned I'm going to run into someone I know while I'm out doing errands, so touch-ups are a must. This handy compact makes touching up both makeup and sunscreen a cinch. The formula is 100 percent mineral sunscreen and carries the Skin Cancer Foundation Active Seal of Recommendation. Unfortunately it only comes in Beige and Honey (Beige being the lighter of the two). Note to all the sunscreen brands out there -- darker skin and extra light skin need protection too. More shades, please.
