Sun protection is major. When I was younger, I hated when my mom made me apply sunscreen. As I grew up, I learned that those that don’t use sunscreen are exposing theirselves to formation of fine lines and even potentially skin cancer. That’s terrifying! Consumer Reports has just released a formal report of the best screens for 2020. I’ve been following Consumer Reports for years and this is the seventh year in a row they released a report on sunscreens. The organization examined four types of sunscreens. This includes lotions, sprays, you name it. They were tested out for their SPF claim (how long your skin stays protected) and the effectiveness of the UVA blockers (what protects your skin from the rays that age you and your skin. Well, the results are in! Here are some the best sunscreens to use this summer to ensure that your skin stays protected under that hot summer sun.

Trader Joe’s Spray SPF 50+ I love any and everything from Trader Joe’s. I was super excited when I saw this sunscreen on the list. It scored a perfect 100% by Consumer Reports. They revealed that it has a beach/citrus scent, which I’m sure smells like a little piece of heaven.

Hawaiian Tropic Island Sport Ultra Light Spray SPF 30 Sunscreen, $9

In my opinion, spray sunscreen really changed the game. I love them because you don’t have to have that sunscreen product on your hands. This is great for a day on the beach or if you’re out getting some exercise and rays. It’s sweat-resistent and fast absorbing. It even contains aloe vera!
