Summer will be here before you know it. With rising temperatures and more time spent outside, you’ll want to make sure that your SPF stash is fully stocked (though you should be wearing sunscreen year-round). Any seasoned online shopper will tell you the best time to get the most for your buck is during a holiday weekend.
Luckily for you, Memorial Day weekend has provided no shortage of holiday deals, and that includes discounts on summer essentials like sunscreen. I’ve spent some time combing through the best deals on sunscreen, and there are quite a few products on sale that have been recommended by the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty & Personal Care Lab—and some have even snagged a Beauty Award. So, if you’re hoping to stock up well through the end of summer, the time is now.
Best Deal
Featuring gentle, hydrating ingredients, this mineral sunscreen tint is a great option for anyone with acne-prone skin. Our pros love that it’s lightweight and leaves a dewy glow, all without a greasy feeling.
A Beauty Award winner, this pick from No7 provides high SPF protection in a hydrating moisturizer. It features skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides. On top of that, it absorbs quickly and won’t leave a white cast, making it a great daily option to be worn with or without makeup.
With a creamy, lotion-like texture, EltaMD’s tinted sunscreen is great at hydrating parched skin. In addition to providing SPF 50 protection, it also has light coverage and a smooth, natural finish.
Looking for a sunscreen that’ll do it all? This pick by Rodan + Fields can be used on both your body and face. It has a silky texture, easily absorbs into the skin without leaving a white cast, and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, meaning you’ll want to keep a tube in your beach bag.
Don’t worry about your base disrupting your makeup with this sunscreen that will protect your skin from UVA rays, UVB rays, and pollution. It has SPF 70 and is nonirritating for sensitive skin.
If keeping sunscreen from transferring onto your clothing is a nonnegotiable, you’ll want to pick up this milky sunscreen lotion by Hawaiian Tropic. In the Beauty Lab’s most recent body sunscreen tests, it impressed testers with its transfer resistance, meaning it was least likely to stain or rub off on fabrics. It has SPF 50 and a fragrance testers described as “deliciously tropical.”
