Keep scrolling for seven of the best sunscreens available in 2021.

Pacifica Sea & C Sheer Sunscreen Spray SPF 30: $16

There's just something about spray-on sunscreen that makes life so much more manageable. When you're on your way to having fun in the sun, the last thing you want is to spend forever applying sunscreen. That's why we love this product (which goes on sheer) from Pacifica, which is made with good-for-your-skin ingredients such as vitamin C and marine extracts.

CLEARSTEM Skincare SUNNYSIDE Brush On Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30: $38.50

If you're looking for more of an on-the-go sunscreen situation, this brush-on product from CLEARSTEM SKINCARE might be just the fit. You can wear it on its own or over your makeup—which we love because we always forget to put sunscreen on our faces until after we've finished doing our makeup. If you have acne-prone skin, this will work like an absolute charm.

Nuria Defend Mattifying Moisturizer and Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30: $23

Did we mention it's important to put sunscreen on every single day? If you don't have an everyday face sunscreen in your skincare arsenal, we recommend this product from Nuria. It's a moisturizer and sunscreen hybrid, working to protect your skin from the sun's harsh rays while keeping it hydrated. It's perfect for wearing under makeup or on its own.

Jafra Sun Tinted Face Protector Sunscreen SPF 50: $22

We love a tinted moisturizer, so when we saw this tinted sunscreen, we knew we needed to test it out. Featuring what the brand refers to as Color Match Technology, the formula blends with your skin tone. It seems like magic, but trust us when we say it works! We especially love some of the key ingredients such as glycerin, vitamin E and elderberry fruit extract.
