Picnic Season Is Here! Don't Forget These Suncare Essentials

Glowy, dewy skin protected from the sun is possible with the Tula Protect + Glow Daily Sunscreen Gel SPF 30 ($36). This noncomedogenic formula not only does its job as a sunscreen, but it also protects from the damaging effects caused by pollution and blue light. The nongreasy gel leaves no white cast — just a gorgeous glow.

If you prefer something solid, the Shiseido Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ ($29) is perfect for carrying in your bag. It is fuss free, goes on clear, and can be reapplied anytime, over or under makeup. If you decide picnics are best by the pool, its protective veil becomes stronger when it senses water and heat, and its skin-care ingredients help prevent signs of aging. It's the whole package!

There's something about oil that makes applying sunscreen feel more indulgent. Pretend you're away on an island (rather than the neighborhood park) with Vacation Chardonnay Oil SPF 30 ($22). This lightweight sunscreen oil is made with Chardonnay grapeseed oil and hydrates while protecting the skin. It goes on clear and contains bisabolol, which helps to minimize irritation from the sun. All in all it feels like a slight spa experience.

If you want your sunscreen to feel like an everyday lotion, the Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50 ($58) is hydrating and fast absorbing and can be used daily to protect your skin from the sun and dehydration. It's formulated with natural extracts of citrus and basil, giving a fresh, nonsynthetic smell, and works for both the face and body. So you can use the extra shelf space for a rich-smelling candle, or you know, whatever.

When makeup starts to melt (it happens to the best of us), reset it with the Supergoop (Re)Setting Refreshing Mist SPF 40 ($32). This multitasking spray sets makeup while defending skin from the sun's harsh UV rays and pollution. Its weightless formula absorbs oil, reduces shine, and delivers a matte finish. Furthermore, it's compact and easy to carry, and it doubles as a refresher!

The skin on our lips is the most delicate, which is why a protecting balm is a must year-round. The Sun Bum Tinted Lip Balm SPF 15 ($6) offers sun protection plus a hint of lip color, perfecting that no-makeup makeup look. Thanks to its protective formula, lips look soft, healthy, and naturally rosy.

As with your face, you'll want to protect your body, and the Coola Mineral Body Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 ($32) provides hydration without the white cast. Moreover, it's fragrance free and nongreasy, and it goes on sheer, so there's no excuse not to apply!

A flawless complexion is always welcome around here, and the CoTz Flawless Complexion SPF 50 ($28) sunscreen is a lightly tinted cream that moisturizes and gives a soft finish. The tint vanishes on most skin tones, so you can still wear your favorite foundation or skin tint over it.
