The fall weather may not be as warm as it was a few months ago, but you might be vacationing in a hot place. If so, you’d be wise to pack the sunscreen.

With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best sunscreens for your skin. Before your next trip, make sure you’re prepared.

Because we care about the environment, we’ve chosen products that are reef-safe.

What Should I Look For In Sunscreen?

Before you purchase some sunscreen, there are some ingredients you should look for.

The SPF number: The higher the SPF number, the more UVB rays it blocks, although it must be said that no sunscreen on the market blocks all of the sun’s UVB rays. Try to buy a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF, which is what dermatologists advise.

Decide what form of sunscreen you want: Sunscreens can typically come in several forms, including lotion, cream and spray. Choose whichever one you’re most comfortable applying on your body.
