Top Sunscreens & Sunblocks for Anti-Aging Skin Protection
Light gels, tinted powders, moisturizing creams and protective sprays
I'm happiest when I'm outdoors drinking in the fresh air and soaking in the sunshine. But I'm also a stickler for sunscreen to keep that glow a healthy one, so when it comes to sunblocks that are both safe and soothing, here are some favorite natural formulas that go on smooth and make you look forward to re-applying …
Anthelios by La Roche Posay
The Anthelios collection of sun protection from La Roche Posay has you covered when you’re in the sunshine. There are formulations for every eventuality; should you need a spray for speedy application, want a light gel texture or prefer a traditional milky consistency. Sun safety is the name of the game with La Roche Posay—the level of protection goes no lower than SPF 20 and goes right up to 50 for thoroughly safe coverage. Most of the range is water-resistant so you can go from beach to pool and back again without having to worry if you are still protected.

Alba Botanica
Alba Botanica’s sunscreens go the extra mile when it comes to taking care of your skin. They don’t just offer standard UVA and UVB protection, they are also laced with vitamins, organic herbs and plant proteins to nourish and comfort. Sensitive skin will love the mineral sunscreen which is paraben free and full of soothing ingredients like vitamin E, organic aloe vera and lavender, making it ideal for everyday use. The creams can be applied to skin easily and sink in without clogging up your pores. None of Alba Botanica’s products reach past SPF 30, so if you’re in the blazing sun or burn easily then this range may not be for you.

Dr. Hauschka
Dr. Hauschka, the highly acclaimed natural skincare line, has a truly fantastic suncare range which is free of colorings, preservatives and fragrance. The products are all mineral based, so you get your sun protection from the mineral pigments and not from a mix of chemicals which can aggravate the skin. Even better, you get your protection immediately on application—there’s no waiting for 30 minutes until the sunscreen starts to work with this line. All you need to do is rub the lotion in and you are good to go. The lotions and sprays all incorporate moisturizing ingredients like avocado oil and Ice Plant so skin stays hydrated despite the glare of the sun’s rays.

RAD by Environ
I am a true devotee of Environ’s skincare ranges (read the file!) and their sunscreen, RAD, doesn’t disappoint me in the slightest. As well as shielding the skin from the harmful sunshine with SPF16, RAD by Environ uses a combination of antioxidants (vitamins C and E as well as the cancer fighting beta-carotene) to inhibit the free radicals released by UV light and pollution minimizing the damage they wreak on the skin. In other words, it works at making my skin look healthy, glowing and young as well as keeping it safe.

Sunforgettable SPF 30 Powder from Colorescience
Uber-chic VIVRE founder Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti can often be found in the world's sunniest spots, such as South Asia researching new finds for her exquisite collection of fashion and gifts, or in St. Barth's or Gstaad for a family holiday. When at the beach or on the slopes, she uses the light, natural and non-greasy powder sunscreen from Colorescience. "It's amazing!" she says. "It's SPF 30 and doesn’t clog your pores. You can wear the completely translucent shade, or a tinted one for some color." NB: I think it must really work, because Eva has beautiful skin!
