The Sunscreen: Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Spray Broad Spectrum SPF 50 + For Face/Body, $36
Active Ingredients: Chemical
Why It's Worth the Price: Shiseido sunscreens are notoriously fabulous, and this one is no exception. The mist is substantial so you get plenty of product with each spritz. And it has rose apple leaf extract to help protect your skin from oxidation (a major culprit in aging). I especially love that you can use it on your face and your body -- meaning there's more room in your tote for trashy beach reads.
