No matter the season, sunscreen should be a staple within your skincare routine. While many of us slather on SPF more liberally during the warmer months, it’s important to protect our complexions from harmful rays 365 days a year.

However, finding the perfect SPF can sometimes be a struggle. No one likes a white cast on their skin, and some sunscreens leave your complexion feeling greasy, while ones made for the face often pill under makeup.

During some recent chats with our 2025 Swim Search finalists, we got the scoop on which SPF products these ladies are loving lately. Below, shop a few Swim Searcher-approved options—and get ready to soak up the sun safely.
