Top sunscreens for 2007

Stow-and-go
Try these no-spill options when you're on the run.

• Dermalogica Solar Defense Wipes SPF 15, 15 sheets, $28.60.

• Vichy Laboratoires Capital Soleil SPF 60 Ultra Protection Sunblock Stick for Sensitive Areas, 9 g, $18.

Body
"Glass is no barrier for UVA rays," says Dr. Lisa Kellett, a dermatologist at DLK in Toronto. "I keep a long-sleeved white shirt in my car to wear for added protection when I'm stuck in traffic."

• Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Sunblock Gel SPF 45, 118 mL, $14.99.

• La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL SPF 60 Face and Body Cream with Mexoryl XL, 100 mL, $26.

• RoC Minesol Mineral Sunblock Cream SPF 40, 150 mL, $26.

Face
"If you have breakout-prone skin, choose an oil-free formula, preferably gel- or alcohol-based," says Dr. Paul Cohen, a dermatologist at the Rosedale Dermatology Centre in Toronto. "If you have sensitive skin, go for SPF with titanium dioxide."

• Ombrelle Face Cream SPF 60, 75 mL, $16.99.

Shiseido Sun Protection Eye Cream SPF 32, 15 mL, $36.

Labello by Nivea UV Care SPF 30 lip balm, about $1.75.

• Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25 (tinted to enhance complexion), 40 mL, $21.50.

Easy Reapplication
Tip: Not all waterproof formulas are designed to withstand the acidity of heavy perspiration, so if sweating's your game, sweatproof is your key word.

• Coppertone Continuous Spray Sport SPF 30, 177 mL, $9.99.

• Aveeno Active Naturals Sunblock Spray SPF 45, 160 mL, $14.99.
• Kinesys Performance Sunscreen SPF 30, 120 mL, $14.99.
