Elizabeth Arden Prevage City Smart Spf 50

Calling all skin-care obsessives: This high-tech formula combines a potent blend of antioxidants (like green tea and ferulic acid) that, when combined with its hefty dose of SPF 50, protects skin from all of the elements we face on a daily basis (including the ones we can’t see—like pollution). In terms of texture and finish, we’d say this one wears like a tinted moisturizer: super hydrating with a subtle hint of color.

This powder makes it easy to keep your SPF intact, thanks to its retractable brush that dispenses sheer mineral sunscreen onto your skin in a few passes. Plus, it’s exceptionally lightweight, giving your skin room to breathe.

Make P:rem Moisturizing Sun Block Spf 50

We had friends of all skin tones try this sun gel and the verdict was the same: “Whoa, what is this stuff?” Followed by, “It actually disappears when I put it on.” The clear formula absorbs within seconds of applying and the serum-like consistency feels refreshing on skin.
