It’s a simple fact – if we women over 50 want our skin to look and feel its best, we need to wear sunscreen, every day – no matter what the season. The sunscreens on this list are top performers at every price point, with the added bonus of feeling and looking light on your skin.
1. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid for Face SPF 45 (about $21.41, click to buy)
This broad-spectrum UVA/ UVB sunscreen is deceptively light but provides fierce protection. It absorbs instantly, has a skin-like matte finish, is water resistant, is fragrance free, and doesn’t feel greasy, even when you’re spending the day outdoors or at the beach. It layers like a dream with treatment products or makeup too.

2. Dr. Brandt UV SPF 30 High Protection Face in Tinted ($32.85, click to buy)
A perfect solution when you want to go without makeup—and for active sports and workouts why wouldn’t you? This adds a sunny glow with serious protection from UVA/ UVB rays and a nongreasy matte finish that just looks like skin.
3. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 100+ (about $8.09, click to buy)
This is the latest and highest SPF from this brand’s super-light, oil-free, quick-absorbing, unscented, broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with stabilizing Helioplex. Magical because you can’t see it or feel it, and it won’t exacerbate breakouts. Do you really need an SPF 100? It can’t hurt. It’s also great in its SPF 30, 45, 55, 70, and 85 versions, too.
4. Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+
($32, click to buy)
This matte, oil-free, water-resistant sunscreen is so light and translucent you can slip it over your moisturizer or under your makeup and reapply over it later for a touch up of protection if needed. That is nice if you’re attending a baseball game or just sitting poolside flipping through magazines while you consider doing laps.
