But the dark side of that warm invitation is, of course, “Come get burned.” As a lifelong California resident and someone who has rosacea, I’ve practically dedicated my life to sunscreen. Every morning, I slather my face with [Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmOh7uP0TIaHR0cHM6Ly93Y2xpbmsuY28vbGluay8zMDI0Ni8xODk4NzMvMzUvMTYxMjUzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTI5MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF93Y2RfMjAyMzA1MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTE5MDMmbmw9dGhlLXJlY29tbWVuZGF0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9MTY2NDQ2ODIyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzI3JnVzZXJfaWQ9ZDY2ZTNkNDM1ZGI1ZjlhZjA5Y2JiNTVlMTBkY2ZlY2RXA255dEIKZFHumVdkX4Y_dlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). I like that it quite literally feels nothing like sunscreen but instead like a makeup primer of sorts, and it makes me look like a glazed doughnut. Later, before my after-work walks, I bring out the big guns: my almost comically large tub of [Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmOh7uP0TIaHR0cHM6Ly93Y2xpbmsuY28vbGluay8zMDI0OC8xODQ3MTMvMzUvMTYxMjU0P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTI5MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF93Y2RfMjAyMzA1MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTE5MDMmbmw9dGhlLXJlY29tbWVuZGF0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9MTY2NDQ2ODIyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzI3JnVzZXJfaWQ9ZDY2ZTNkNDM1ZGI1ZjlhZjA5Y2JiNTVlMTBkY2ZlY2RXA255dEIKZFHumVdkX4Y_dlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), which I keep tucked away in a cabinet. When I’m ready to anoint my shoulders, the keyhole handle makes the tub easy to grab and plop on my countertop, and the pump top makes it easy to apply. I have a second tub (that’s right, I’m a two-tub girl) tucked into the car door of my Prius, for on-the-go application. [Yes, Supergoop is worth the splurge](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmOh7uP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vd2lyZWN1dHRlci9yZXZpZXdzL3N1cGVyZ29vcC1zdW5zY3JlZW4tcmV2aWV3Lz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0yOTAmZW1jPWVkaXRfd2NkXzIwMjMwNTA3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTkxOTAzJm5sPXRoZS1yZWNvbW1lbmRhdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTE2NjQ0NjgyMiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzMjMyNyZ1c2VyX2lkPWQ2NmUzZDQzNWRiNWY5YWYwOWNiYjU1ZTEwZGNmZWNkVwNueXRCCmRR7plXZF-GP3ZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).

If you are headed on a snorkeling excursion—or even just to a beach that’s home to coral habitats—it’s best to use a reef-safe option. Although no sunscreen has been proven totally safe for aquatic wildlife, some formulas are friendlier than others. Wirecutter recommends [Thrive Bodyshield SPF 50](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmOh7uP0TIaHR0cHM6Ly93Y2xpbmsuY28vbGluay81MDczNi8xODA5MTIvMzUvMTYxMjU1P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTI5MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF93Y2RfMjAyMzA1MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTE5MDMmbmw9dGhlLXJlY29tbWVuZGF0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9MTY2NDQ2ODIyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzI3JnVzZXJfaWQ9ZDY2ZTNkNDM1ZGI1ZjlhZjA5Y2JiNTVlMTBkY2ZlY2RXA255dEIKZFHumVdkX4Y_dlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) and [Thinksport Sunscreen SPF 50+](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmOh7uP0TIaHR0cHM6Ly93Y2xpbmsuY28vbGluay8yNjgxNS8xNTI1OTIvMzUvMTYxMjU2P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTI5MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF93Y2RfMjAyMzA1MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTE5MDMmbmw9dGhlLXJlY29tbWVuZGF0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9MTY2NDQ2ODIyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzI3JnVzZXJfaWQ9ZDY2ZTNkNDM1ZGI1ZjlhZjA5Y2JiNTVlMTBkY2ZlY2RXA255dEIKZFHumVdkX4Y_dlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA); both of these feel nicer on the skin and cost less than others.

But it may just be upping your chances of experiencing sun damage. Using sunscreen with a high SPF (roughly 50 and above) can impart a false sense of invincibility, and that may make you [stay in the sun longer](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmOh7uP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2tpbmNhbmNlci5vcmcvYmxvZy9hc2stdGhlLWV4cGVydC1kb2VzLWEtaGlnaC1zcGYtcHJvdGVjdC1teS1za2luLWJldHRlci8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MjkwJmVtYz1lZGl0X3djZF8yMDIzMDUwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05MTkwMyZubD10aGUtcmVjb21tZW5kYXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD0xNjY0NDY4MjImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzIzMjcmdXNlcl9pZD1kNjZlM2Q0MzVkYjVmOWFmMDljYmI1NWUxMGRjZmVjZFcDbnl0QgpkUe6ZV2Rfhj92Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) without reapplying. The best way to use sunscreen effectively is to think of it as a supplementary tool in your sun-protection arsenal. And that arsenal should primarily include seeking out shade as well as using hats, sunglasses, rash guards, UPF clothing, and the like.
