Since sunscreen should be applied every day—yes, every day—why not consolidate steps by using a sunscreen/moisturizer hybrid? The hydrating formulas give you the benefits of sun protection without the white, streaky aftermath. Plus, it makes it that much easier to apply (aka no more excuses about forgetting to put on sunscreen).
You would never know this natural sunscreen houses a whopping 20% zinc oxide thanks to the blendable tint. (Read: You will not mind applying this every day.) You'll also get antioxidant protection thanks to algae and sunflower sprout extract.
Extra oily skin types, meet the moisturizer-SPF face cream that will not leave you looking like a greaseball. It has a whipped texture that absorbs in seconds and leaves a velvety smooth finish that looks great under makeup.
This zinc oxide sunscreen is suited to slather on from head to toe. In fact, it’s one line Day recommends for patients who have acne-prone skin. This specific product is oil-free, so you can use it without fear of making breakouts worse. And, vitamin E and alpha hydroxy acids help smooth out lines.

The mineral sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection when you’re doing your active thing outside. Given it’s water-resistant up to 80 minutes, you don’t have to worry if you’re sweating up a storm. Antioxidants like coconut, aloe, and jojoba oil, along with vitamins C and E, give skin a dose of nutrients that work to keep skin young.
Formulated with zinc oxide (notice a trend here?), this physical-blocking sunscreen effectively shields you against harmful UV rays. You’ll also love that it glides on skin beautifully, dries quickly, and leaves you feeling like you’re not wearing anything. Plus, with ceramides, this body SPF seals moisture into skin to keep you silky all day.
Day recommends this one because it’s a top-notch sunscreen with 5% titanium oxide and 6% zinc oxide that provides the broad-spectrum protection your face truly needs. Lightly tinted with translucent color spheres, it may go on sheer, but it evens tone and boosts brightness nicely without leaving white streaks behind.
