We all know sunscreen is non-negotiable, but finding one that works well for mature skin can be tricky. Many sunscreens feel too heavy, leave a white cast or dry out the skin. The best formulas offer broad-spectrum protection, hydration and a lightweight feel without settling into fine lines or feeling greasy.
