The Best Affordable Sunscreens for All Ages

posted in: Beauty & Wellness

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the US with more than 3.3 million people diagnosed each year, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Aside from staying out of the sun, one of the most effective ways to prevent skin cancer is to use broad-spectrum sun protection regularly. And by regularly, I mean year ‘round. As the summer approaches and we’re spending more time outdoors, it’s the perfect time to incorporate sun protection into your family’s daily routine. And listen, if you’re avoiding sunscreen because you’re slathering thick white cream all over yourself and your kids, I hear you, but sunscreen has come a long way. For all your SPF needs, I’ve found several affordable sunscreens that feel pleasant on the skin, are unscented/lightly scented, and are a great deal!

Garnier SkinActive SPF 30 Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid

 Garnier Moisture Bomb SPF 30 is affordable

Good for all skin types, this lightweight lotion hydrates the skin while providing an SPF of 30. It is paraben-, petrolatum- and oil-free and does not leave a white residue on the skin after applying. Another key point is that you can use it alone or under your makeup or moisturizer, unlike many other sunscreens.

Hint Sunscreen, SPF 30

I recently discovered this water-resistant sunscreen spray from Hint, well-known for their delicately flavored water. This is an oxybenzone-free broad spectrum sunscreen that the whole family will love – it’s available in a variety of light fruit scents, including grapefruit and pear…how could you go wrong? It has a compressed air delivery system, which means that it dries very quickly and leaves no sticky residue.
