I love the packaging, love the fact that it's fragrance-free and love the fact that it has anti-inflammatory, cell growth and wound healing properties to soothe aggravated skin.” – Sophie Cockett, GLAMOUR's European Commerce Editor. It's mostly thanks to the water-gel formula which absorbs quickly, doesn't leave marks on the skin and feels lightweight when applied between a daily moisturiser and your makeup. And Coco & Eve's new Water Gel SPF delivers. GLAMOUR-approved: “ I find hunting for face sunscreen one of the hardest beauty tasks: it needs to protect my skin from UVA and UVB rays with factor 50, needs to sit nicely underneath my makeup and needs to feel lightweight. Not only does it deliver a healthy boost of hydration, but it also leaves your skin looking nice and radiant. Why we love it: With a formula that boasts hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and vitamin E, this moisturising water-based face SPF has the silkiest texture of all the products on this list. We've scored each face SPF based on scent, texture, how easily the product is absorbed, how makeup sits on top and whether it leaves a cast. Each sunscreen for face has been tested on a variety of skin tones, textures and types to put every claim through its paces. Elsewhere, we've featured plenty of other formulas which also come in highly recommended. Our favourites have been included in the edit below. Most members of the GLAMOUR team have been using a particular brand of face SPF for years, and can vouch for the products' efficacy. We've tried and tested all the best sunscreens for face in a range of textures and protection levels – from SPF 15 to SPF 40 and above – all coming from some of the best brands in the biz, including La Roche Posay, Ultra Violette, Eucerin, Medik8 and, of course, Garnier (and yes, we're talking about the iconic Garnier Ambre Solaire Protection Spray). And so are SPF lip balms, by the way (not to be skipped). Sheer and non-comedogenic (in other words non-clogging), mineral SPFs are not just for the beach, but for every day. With the soothing and repairing ingredients you'd typically expect in your moisturisers and facial serums, today's face SPFs are generally long-lasting, hypoallergenic and good enough to wear under – or even in lieu of – foundation. Luckily, unlike old-fashioned formulas, new broad spectrum SPF 50 formulas are an absolute joy to wear for both light and darker skin tones.
