IT SEEMS LIKE not a day goes by that I don’t talk to a dermatologist. It’s part of my job as a grooming editor to interview skin doctors about a variety of topics (best moisturizers, face washes, etc.), and in over a decade of speaking to these professionals, patterns have emerged. One of those patterns is their advice to wear sunscreen. Nearly every one of them then goes on to recommend EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 Face Sunscreen in some capacity, and after regularly using the cream it's clear why.

Every single dermatologist I have ever spoken to recommends sunscreen not only as a means of skin cancer prevention, but for overall skin health. Many even go so far as to say that there is no more powerful anti-aging skincare product than sunscreen since much of the signs of aging we see in our skin are caused by exposure to UV rays. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, you should wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day that has a minimum of 30 SPF and is water resistant.
