You know what they say: The sun’s always shining when you’re cool …

Whether you’re seeking a new daily sun protection bestie, a skin-perfecting or tinted formula, or a clean or K-Beauty brand, we found the best sunblocks for your every bit — according to years of testing by our skincare- and beauty-obsessed editors.
Scroll on for the best of sun-spiration starting at $10 (spoiler: There’s a lot of Supergoop! fans).
“This is the only sunscreen you’ll ever need!!! It goes on like a moisturizer and doesn’t leave a cast or mess with your makeup. Plus, it doesn’t sting my eyes and leaves the most amazing glow on your skin.” — Alexandra D’Aluisio, Page Six Managing Editor
“I’m a fan of Coola’s sunscreens; I’ve used its makeup setting spray with SPF 30, and also enjoy the scalp and hair sunscreen mist. Its sprays are lightweight and dry quickly, and I’ve never gotten burned while wearing them. Also, a good thing to keep in mind is that you should be able to purchase Coola with HSA/FSA funds.” — Jacquelyn Goldstein, VP of Commerce
“This one’s my go-to for hot, sweaty summer days, since it doubles as a primer, is basically weightless, and — because it’s invisible — is easy to reapply over makeup throughout the day as needed. My husband, who’s paler than I am and burns if he so much as looks at the sun, hates the feel of most sunscreens but always asks for this one, too. That’s a big win in my book.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
“My skincare routine can basically be summed up as: I use whatever my longtime dermatologist tells me to use. So when she recommended this SPF for my sensitive, dry and acne-prone skin more than a decade ago, I swiftly picked up a bottle — and have been using it ever since. It’s non-greasy, plays well under makeup, doesn’t break me out and feels incredibly lightweight. A staple!” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
“I love the tinted version! I try to wear SPF every day under my makeup, and the Elta MD is the best, lightest, non-greasy base that gives you the perfect glow. I have acne-prone skin, and my dermatologist recommended this SPF, so I know it’s not going to break me out (and I’ve been using it for years, and it hasn’t!). Also, the tinted version is perfect for days I don’t want to wear makeup but still want to look bronzed and glowy.” — Brooke Matalon, Page Six Manager, Social Media Marketing
“I’m sure I’ve never had anything but lackluster, waxy sticks to protect my lips from the sun, and they’d end up unused for my lack of enthusiasm. Enter Supergoop!’s Vanilla Soft Serve Glow Gloss; It’s comfortable to wear, looks like a pretty gloss and smells heavenly. Finally, my lips are getting the protection they deserve — with no waxy weirdness.” — Erica Radol, Page Six Commerce Reporter
“Jennifer Lopez is good at a great many things — dancing, pulling off daring dresses, defying the laws of aging, etc. Turns out, the woman makes a really good sunscreen, too! I particularly like using this one when it’s cold and/or dry outside, since it packs a punch in the hydration department. I love the thick, rich texture, and it imparts a serious glow while still working well under makeup. I swear I get more compliments than usual on my skin when I’m wearing it. Thanks, J.Lo!” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
“Ever since Martha Stewart herself told me she swears by this sunscreen, I’ve worn it almost every day. It’s just enough coverage for a no-makeup makeup look. (I love pairing it with the Merit Bronzing Balm, another Martha favorite, for an extra bronze boost.) My only complaint is that I wish it came in multiple shades.” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Commerce Reporter
“I was traveling light for a short trip to L.A. and tossed this moisturizer, sunscreen and pore-blurring primer all-in-one in my bag. I still look back at those vacay photos with longing at the smoothest my skin has possibly ever looked. It’s a perfect product for when you want a low-lift way to look filtered IRL (under makeup or by itself) and the clean, invisible formula worked thoroughly as sunblock, even in the California sunshine.” — Erica Radol, Page Six Commerce Reporter
“I love the Fig.1 sunscreen for long days out in the sun when I’m at the beach or on the boat. I’m not the biggest hat person, but when I wear this sunscreen, I feel super protected. It’s on the thicker side, but it melts right into your skin, and as an added perk, it wears nicely under makeup! The best part about Fig.1? It also has skincare ingredients within its formula, like hyaluronic acid. I can’t say enough great things about this product.” — Kelly Laske, Senior Social Media Editor, Page Six
“The only foundation I use! I love knowing my skin is being protected, and it’s the perfect color match. The formula blends so nicely and I can get really close to my eyelids without any SPF burning feeling.” — Michelle Moezam, Page Six Senior Social Media Manager, Commerce
“My favorite sunscreen for days when I am spending a ton of time in the sun! I love that it goes on like a serum, so it doesn’t feel heavy on my face, and there is absolutely zero white cast. I especially love wearing it before running outside; it doesn’t wear off with sweat!” — Tori Schneebaum, Photo Director, Page Six
“I’ve been using the clear SPF on my face for years — it’s the best, and by far my most used SPF. It’s so gentle around the eyes, and my husband even started using it for when he goes on his runs because even with the sweat dripping down, it won’t burn around the eyes.” — Michelle Moezam, Page Six Senior Social Media Manager, Commerce
“For my tattoos, my go-to is always the ease of a roll-on, and this Coppertone kids’ sunscreen lotion blends so nicely into my skin and makes reapplying a dream. As someone with a darker complexion, there’s no white cast, which is my second favorite feature of this formula — first being the clean ingredients.” — Michelle Moezam, Page Six Senior Social Media Manager, Commerce
“I recently tried out Augustinus Bader’s first-ever SPF, and I can finally say I understand the brand’s Hollywood hype. While it’s undeniably a hefty price tag for a sunscreen, it blends like a dream, is fragrance-free (a must for me), and doesn’t leave a white film. After applying, my skin felt refreshed and glowy for hours.” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Commerce Reporter
“I just started using this. It plays really nicely with Supergoop’s Glowscreen that I use as a tinted foundation replacement — and it smells so nice. I have very sensitive (and pale!) skin, and this is the perfect everyday moisturizer, so I don’t have to worry about any irritation or burn.” — Jacq Kozak, Senior Photo Editor, Page Six
“Maybe it’s the sentimental memories of my childhood that draw me to this boardwalk, cotton candy-scented sunscreen, or the ease of application — either way, this newcomer to the SPF stratosphere does not disappoint. It’s based on the popular fragrance of the same name, with notes of summer fruits and vanilla. Can confirm: Jersey Shore vibes in a yoooo (good) way. ” — Erica Radol, Page Six Commerce Reporter
