Even if you’re spending a lot of your time indoors these days, if the sun is shining through your windows, your skin is being exposed to the harmful rays that can cause minor to major traumas. UVB rays kissing your skin outdoors cause burns, but UVA rays can penetrate through glass and deeper into the skin, potentially causing premature aging and contributing to skin cancer. And because sun exposure knows no limitations — including seasons and weather forecasts — it’s important to apply a full body sunscreen every day to make sure we’re protecting the skin we’re in. 

Of course, as is the case with any skin care product, choosing the right sunscreen for your skin can be tricky. Do you prefer a spray or a lotion, a chemical sunscreen or mineral sunscreen? The ingredients list plays a significant role, too: You want to make sure what’s being absorbed by the body is safe for your body, and whether or not whatever chemicals or extracts added to the formula make sense for your skin type. 

Naturally there’s going to be some level of trial and error when finding the best body sunscreen that meets all your needs and preferences. However, to help narrow down your options, we’ve rounded up some of the best options to experiment with below.
