Trick people into thinking you have perfect skin this summer

In case you hadn't gathered from my previous post about my favorite sunscreens, beauty/skincare is another area about which I'm rather obsessive, and it's because I have genetically crappy skin.

The 5 Best Sunscreens You Need This Summer (& Beyond)

Every year, around this time, the question of the best sunscreens comes up — and I'm always thrilled, since it's one of my areas of expertise.

First of all: if you're not already using sunscreen on the daily, start doing it NOW. Even in winter. Even on cloudy days. Dollar for dollar, daily sunscreen use is the best and more cost-effective anti-aging product you can buy. Trust me. You'll thank me later when you're less wrinkly and sunspotted, and look much younger than your actual age without lasers, needles, and surgery (which I'm not against, for the record, but they're $$$, and we need that money for clothes, amirite?).

Hate the way your sunscreen feels/smells/looks? I feel ya. Here's where I can help. As a lifelong devotee of sun protection, I am always seeking out the least horrible sunscreens, because those are the ones I'll actually use. I prefer products that are fragrance-free, non-irritating, non-greasy, mostly free of oil and alcohol, and which provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

I'm always trying out new sunscreens because I hope that there's something even better out there. Below are the ones that I personally use and repurchase.
