The good news about Summer? The warm weather means more excuses to take your run outside, or pick up a game of beach volleyball. The bad news? If your skin's not protected, not only do you acquire some unsightly tan lines but you also increase your risk for skin cancer, which nobody wants. We've rounded up the best sunscreens for working out, because we all need to wear sunscreen, and it should work as hard as we do. From sprays to sticks to natural options, we've got you covered. Just keep reading to shop!
Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Oil-Free Sunscreen
The Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Oil-Free Sunscreen ($8) is a great option for those with sensitive skin. It won't clog pores, and actually hydrates your skin while it works. Plus, the Broad Spectrum SPF 30 stays put.
Neutrogena Beach Defense Body Spray Sunscreen
Protect your skin from the harshest elements – water, sun, sand, wind – with this extra-strength Neutrogena Beach Defense Body Spray Sunscreen ($8).
Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Stick
If you're staying active throughout the day, and need to reapply without getting your hands greasy, we recommend this Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Stick ($8).
EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 – Tinted
A cult favorite, this EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 – Tinted ($35) evens out the skin tone while providing long-lasting protection.
Drunk Elephant Umbra™ Sheer Physical Daily Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen
If you're partial to a more natural sunscreen, this Drunk Elephant Umbra™ Sheer Physical Daily Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen ($34) really delivers. It's a physical sunscreen that's been formulated without chemical screens or silicones, which basically means it will hold up under pressure, and doesn't contain bad-for-you ingredients.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen
Another cult favorite, the La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen ($20) packs a major punch when it comes to sun protection. Slather this on before a long hike and your skin won't notice that you've decided to take the long route.
Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunscreen Spray
Now there's really no excuse to get sunburt during a beach day. The name is pretty self-explanatory, but the Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunscreen Spray ($9, originally $10), actually absorbs into wet skin, so you can reapply right after you get out of the water.
Sun Bum Signature SPF 50 Sunscreen
What's not to love about the Sun Bum Signature SPF 50 Sunscreen ($18)? It's got a super cool bottle, it smells AMAZING, and it's specially formulated to protect your skin even when you don't feel you can run another mile in the heat.
Supergoop! Everyday Sunscreen
This water-resistant lotion is called the Everyday Sunscreen ($32) for a reason. It's light enough to be used everyday, but had enough strength to stand up to the toughest activities you can think of.
Avène SPF50 Hydrating Sunscreen Lotion
This sunscreen is infused with Avène's Thermal Spring Water to keep your skin both protected and hydrated. We're big fans of this Avène SPF50 Hydrating Sunscreen Lotion ($30).
