Yes, they really do exist!
We all know we should wear sunscreen every single day, even in winter, but finding one that actually feels nice on our skin (read: non-greasy and not heavy) is no easy feat. Let alone trying to find one that wears nicely under makeup; in fact, that territory is perhaps the trickiest of all.

Sounds like a lot to ask of any one sunscreen, we know. But they are out there, and we’ve hunted down 10 standouts. Here are the best sunscreens to wear under makeup...
