Powder sunscreens are mineral-based sunscreens that resemble setting powders. (We recommend using our main sunscreen pick if you’re going to be outside playing sports or swimming.) Yet water resistance can be helpful if you do wind up sweating or getting caught in the rain. Water resistance: Again, this is often less critical in a facial sunscreen.For example, glycerin is a common ingredient in moisturizers that we also identified in a couple of plain old sunscreens. But there’s no hard-and-fast difference between a sunscreen and a moisturizer with added sun protection. Our testers tended to find the moisturizers more hydrating (and differed on whether that was a good thing). Moisturizing: Although we primarily looked for a sunscreen that would protect skin from UV radiation, we considered several options that were advertised as moisturizers with SPF. Plus, the smaller bottles common to facial sunscreens are easier to keep in a bathroom cabinet or toss in a bag. Facial sunscreens are formulated to be a little less oily, something that was borne out during testing and confirmed by our sources.
