Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 provide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA+++ (UVA protection).

SPF level: The best level of protection for daily use is SPF 30 to 50, according to both Drs. Hartman and Shamban. You can find products with SPF 100, but “anything over SPF 50 has a minimal differential in percentage of protection,” Dr. Shamban explains. Many tinted moisturizers provide about SPF 15, which isn’t enough for daily protection, so be sure to read the fine print and apply extra sunscreen on top if necessary. We recommend using the product within the indicated PAO (period-after-opening) timeframe once the product is opened and activated.

EltaMD’s cult-favorite SPF is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to the best sunscreen for acne-prone skin. (It’s also one of Hailey Bieber’s go-tos). “For acne-prone skin, my favorite product is Elta MD’s UV Clear SPF 46. It is specifically formulated for oily, acne-prone skin and is super lightweight, and therefore does not clog pores,” says Bradley Glodny, MD, board-certified dermatologist and owner of Park Ave. Derm in New York City. “It also has a natural-appearing tint, which can help to camouflage acne and redness in additional to niacinamide to help combat inflammation.”Broad-spectrum protection: This means that the sunscreen protects you from both UVA and UVB rays.

Windows usually shield you from any UVB risk, but UVA rays can still penetrate them, so it’s important to always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen, as it filters out both.
