Suncare and sun damage prevention is the most important part of every skincare routine. Beyond the beach, broad-spectrum sunscreen is your first line of daily defense against aging sun damage and free radicals that impact your face and skin. The best anti-aging product available, suncare shields skin from harmful rays that cause premature aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and uneven tone and texture. As a proud member of the Skin Cancer Foundation’s 2023 Corporate Council, we’re dedicated to taking a proactive approach to daily skin protection. Powered by reef safe SPF and age-defying antioxidants, our lightweight, oil-free mineral sunscreens in this collection provide safe and effective sun protection.

Physical suncare products contain active mineral ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and sit on top of the skin, deflecting and scattering the damaging rays. Offering instant protection as soon as they’re applied, zinc oxide sunscreen is the best sunscreen option for sensitive skin as it's an anti-irritant, and as it doesn’t block pores or clog skin. It’s perfect for acne-prone and oily skin complexions too. Chemical suncare products work by absorbing into the skin where they convert the rays into heat, then release that heat from the skin. They’re thinner, easily spreadable, and more lightweight. Whether you're looking for a great tinted sunscreen, or a mineral, oil free, or zinc oxide suncare product, Glo’s lineup of next-generation face sunscreen products replace any chalky finishes of old with dewy, breathable, radiant, skincare-infused suncare for every skin tone and texture. And, don’t forget to add suncare for your body too. Hands, neck, décolleté should get suncare everyday, then add to other exposed body parts as and when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Serums

What is the best sunscreen for your face?

The best sunscreen for daily use needs to have an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30. This gives your skin robust protection from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays which can lead to sun damage and premature aging. Always remember to reapply your sunscreen every two hours throughout the day for continuous coverage. If you have oily skin, the best sunscreen will be non-comedogenic and oil-free so it doesn’t clog pores or lead to breakouts. For dry skin, the best sunscreen will have hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. Our Oil Free SPF 40+ is suitable for all skin types and has factor 40 protection.

How much sunscreen should I apply to my face?

Apply around a nickel-size amount of sunscreen to your face and décolleté, massaging it evenly into your skin. Reapply the same amount every two hours throughout the day.

What is a mineral sunscreen?

A mineral sunscreen is also known as a physical sunscreen because it creates a barrier between your skin and the sun’s rays. Mineral sunscreens use zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for that buffer, reflecting and scattering the UV rays away from your skin. Many people prefer mineral sunscreens as they’re suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin and don’t contain harmful chemicals that can penetrate into the skin. Previously associated with heavier textures and a tendency to leave an ashy, white cast on skin, mineral sunscreens are now available in lighter-weight, reef-safe formulations, with an invisible finish like our Oil Free SPF 40+.

What is the best sunscreen for oily skin?

If you have oily skin you’ll want a sunscreen that’s oil-free and non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn’t clog pores, lead to breakouts, or leave a shiny finish on your skin. Look for oil-control formulas that offer weightless hydration and skin protection like Oil Free SPF 40+ which is also fragrance-free, reducing the risk of skin irritation.

What is the best sunscreen for sensitive skin?

The best sunscreen for sensitive skin is a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen that’s fragrance-free as this will be gentle on the skin and won’t cause irritation. Make sure it includes hydrating, nourishing ingredients to give your skin a moisture boost, while protecting it from harmful UV rays and other environmental stressors.

Why use tinted sunscreen?

Tinted sunscreen is a great multitasking option, protecting skin from damaging UV rays while adding a hint of tint to even out tone and gently mask any imperfections. C-Shield Anti-Pollution Moisture Tint SPF 30 will be your go-to for this. It’s the perfect hybrid of sun protection, color-correction, and creates a nourishing, even complexion with a dewy, radiant finish.

Should I apply sunscreen under or on top of makeup?

For your first application of the day apply your skincare first, then add your sunscreen before applying makeup. This helps your sunscreen to form a protective barrier on your skin. To reapply your sunscreen every two hours throughout the day you will then need to add your sunscreen over your makeup. To do this, gently dot on the sunscreen—paying special attention to the high points of your face, and use clean fingers or a clean makeup blender sponge to blend lightly using tapping or bouncing motions instead of rubbing. This will help keep your makeup intact. Top off your makeup as needed.
