Best Sunscreen

The best sunscreen offers full protection from the sun's damaging UVA/UVB rays. It's long-lasting and, preferably, waterproof. What are the absolute best sunscreens on the market today? The answer varies. Whether you prefer an organic sunscreen, free of chemical ingredients, or a drug store brand, this list includes them all: the best spray sunscreens, sunscreen lotions and sunscreens for kids and babies! If you see your favorite sunscreen on the list, by all means, vote it up - and comment on any good or bad experience you've had with any of these products.

Sunscreens give us the freedom to enjoy being out in the sun without suffering painful sunburns or being over-exposed to potentially skin cancer-causing rays. Waterproof sunscreens allow for more time in the pool or the surf without frying to a crisp, though it's always important to remember to reapply sunscreen after swimming, surfing or generally frolicking in the water. Not everyone agrees on how much protection is needed (SPF: Sun Protection Factor), but the FDA generally recommends an SPF of 30 or higher for the best coverage.

If you're determined to get a beautiful, sun-kissed glow, but you don't want to expose yourself to damaging rays, check out these lists for the best self tanners and the best bronzers!
