Like breakfast, mental health walks, and a little self-care, our philosophy for sunscreen is the same: every damn day. Finding SPF products for day-to-day wear and for activities like water sports and hiking can be a challenge, especially with so many options on the market. That’s why we put dozens of buzzy sun-care products to the test as part of our 2022 Healthy Beauty Awards.

For our awards, we considered thousands—and we mean thousands—of products submitted by brands, across a wide variety of categories like skin care, hair care, body care, oral care, makeup, and more. We selected what to test based on expert guidelines and then enlisted a group of more than 50 testers—including SELF editors, doctors, dermatologists, influencers, new parents, and more—to review each product for safety and efficacy.

Below, see the SPF products that wowed us, from Winnie Harlow’s impressive new line for melanin-rich skin to Coppertone’s beach-ready spray sunscreen. You’ll find expert-approved sunscreen for your body and face so that you can feel confident picking one that works for your skin type, won’t pill or clump under makeup, and basically guarantees a lovely day outside.

Reviews have been edited and condensed for length and clarity.
