UO Beauty: Six Sunscreens We're Using This Spring

Let’s face it: it’s a given that you should be wearing SPF throughout the year, but there’s just something about cracking into a fresh sunscreen in Spring that feels a little more exciting. To celebrate the start of warmer weather, we’ve rounded up six of our favorite sunscreens that will help protect you from those sunny rays.

We’re total suckers for this packaging, but it doesn’t hurt that this sunscreen oil smells (and works) as good as it looks. If you want to get that ‘70s, baby-oil glow without the skin cancer, this is the product for you. It’s easy to apply, smells like a tropical island, and has an SPF of 30. Win/win/win.

Another one from new-ish brand Vacation, this chemical sunscreen rubs in quickly and smells just as great as the oil. (Although be warned: if you aren’t a fan of strong scents, this probably isn’t the lotion for you.) With this sunscreen, a day laying out in the backyard will feel as exotic as a day in Tahiti.

This Bask SPF 30 spray dries down to nothing almost immediately and has a light, beachy scent. While this would work just as well at the beach, this is the perfect body spray for any non-beach outings as it’s non-greasy and has no white cast.

If being greasy is a fear of yours, this powder sunscreen will be your saving grace. It’s all-natural, translucent and will keep your face shine-free. Plus, it's easy to throw in a bag and reapply throughout the day as needed.

For fans of mineral (AKA physical) sunscreens, this one from Supergoop! goes on slightly sheerer than most, so if you’re worried about the dreaded “white cast” that happens with most mineral sunscreens, this is a great option.

Stick sunscreen is the best for on-the-go situations (or whenever you’re just feeling sooo lazy). This one from Oars + Alps glides on clear, making it a must-have for any skintone.
