The Best and Worst Sunscreens

See which products will prevent your skin from looking lobster-like all summer long

Whether we like it or not, sunscreen is a must for all of us. And according to Heidi Waldorf, M.D. of Waldorf Dermatology & Laser Associates in Nanuet, NY, we need “an SPF of at least a 15 daily.” No one wants to spend all summer slathering on sunblock, but with these reader favorites maybe it wont seem like such a chore.

  1. Ooo, I have to try the Dermalogica one!

  2. Yess, I have Eminence’s Sun Defense Minerals and I hate it! I broke out everywhere and the brush is definitely not soft at all. I just don’t like products that are directly attached to the brush because you can’t really clean the brush without it ruining the powder… maybe it’s the brush and not the powder, I don’t know. Actually, I think I’ll empty the powder into a sifter…..
