We’ve rounded up 14 of the best new sunscreens for face and body, to help you protect your skin this summer…
1. Try this sunscreen under your makeup
Want to still wear make-up? Try grüum skida Daily Defence Lotion SPF50 (£9), which you can apply under make-up for a smooth, ultralight finish. Rich in vitamin E, this lotion moisturises and protects.
2. Avoid breakouts with this facial sunscreen
Struggling with oily or troublesome skin? PCA Skin Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF45 Suncream (£40) is a lightweight moisturising sunscreen, containing milk thistle and caffeine to hydrate and protect without causing breakouts
3. Anti-ageing sunscreens for face and body
Combining sun protection with anti-ageing ingredients, Salt & Stone SPF50 Natural Mineral Sunscreen Lotion (£12.48) contains zinc oxides, plus avocado and rosehip seed oils to nourish.
4. The facial sunscreen that matches any skin tone
Can’t match your sun cream with your skin tone? Osmosis Protect Broad Spectrum Sunscreen (£38.50) matches to anyone’s skin tone. Plus, it’s free from nanoparticles, which can penetrate the skin.

Katherine Daniels Daily DNA Defence SPF30 (£50) actively repairs sun-damaged DNA in your skin. Infused with chamomile extract, the cream also soothes visible redness.
7. Sun protection on-the-go
We love MÁDARA’s range of sunscreens for face and body. The new MÁDARA SPF50 Pro-Active Mineral Sunscreen Stick (£17.75) is rich in minerals and antioxidants. Plus, its size makes it perfect for popping in your handbag and applying on-the-go.
8. Protect and hydrate your face
You’ll get a lovely sheer finish along with your sun protection by using Jurlique UV Defence Lotion SPF50 PA++++ High Protection Lotion (£38). It smells gorgeous and the best thing is, the texture is so light it sinks in easily and quickly. It leaves skin wonderfully soft, as well as protected. Plus, the oil-free formula makes a great base for your make-up, too.
9. Sun protection with a tint
Combine sun protection with an even and fresh skin tone using Evolve Organic Beauty Climate Veil Tinted SPF20 (from £28). The range has been extended to include three new shades – one lighter and two darker – so there’s more choice. It protects you from UVA and UVB rays and blue light. Plus, it treats your complexion with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and Abyssinian oil to moisturise.
10. Make-up with extra protection
Boost your make-up with some extra protection from a dusting of PRIORI Mineral Skincare SPF25 (£36). The nifty container delivers just the right amount of foundation powder to brush over your face, evening out the complexion while protecting it from the sun’s rays with zinc oxide. It also offers a treat for skin with 30 antioxidants on the ingredients list.
11. Facial sunscreen with flower power
For a natural option, try Alteya Organics Organic Rose Otto Face Sunscreen SPF25 (£14.95). It’s certified organic and offers UVA and UVB protection. Plus, the formula includes extracts from rosa damascena and calendula flowers to help heal and fight free radicals.

13. Sunscreen spray with vitamins
Heliocare creates a range of sunscreens for face and body. Shield your skin in a flash with Heliocare 360° Invisible Spray (£28.99). It protects from UVA and UVB rays, as well as infrared and blue light. Plus, this SPF50 body spray gives the coverage you want, without having to spend five minutes rubbing it in. We also love the inclusion of green tea extract and vitamins C and E, which add to the skin-loving benefits.
14. Top up your sun protection while out-and-about
For easy top-ups of broad-spectrum protection throughout the day, dab on Whamisa Organic Flowers Sun Pact SPF50 (£28) using the cushion pad provided. Plus, with extracts of spinach and the addition of avocado and mango seed butters, it’s a skin-nourisher, too.
