The Best SPFs for Every Skin Type and Situation

Summer is coming in Canada – this week, Ontario has been issued with a heat wave warning and temperatures are increasing across the country. With social distancing measures still in place, our summers might look a little different to what we’re used to but with the ability to still get out for a walk or sit outside (whilst adhering to social distancing rules), we’re still in the market to get plenty of sun in the coming months. Therefore, we figured it was a good time to bring you the below – a round-up of the best sunscreens available in Canada for every skin type and situation you might find yourself in. It’s important to remember that sun damage goes hand-in-hand with aging. According to Supergoop! founder Holly Thaggard, “UVA ray damage accelerates most of the signs of aging like pigmentation, loss of elasticity, rough skin, and dryness.” So, it’s imperative that you slap on a good SPF every day – even if you’re inside.

Best for: Acne-Prone Skin

Zincscreen 100% Mineral Lotion
($55, Supergoop!)

Mineral sunscreens are excellent for acne-prone skin as they sit on top of the skin (meaning they’re not absorbed and therefore don’t lead to pore-clogging breakouts). This iteration from Supergoop! is made from clean ingredients and has an SPF rating of 40. Plus, it’s lightweight and non-greasy. Win, win.
