Solar Power: 6 Products to Brave the Sun Rays

It's summer, and though that means awesome weather, it also means the sun is at its fiercest. So whether you're shuttling off to Fire Island or just dashing out to grab some bubbly at your local wine store, you need to protect your face --and not just by slathering on the greasy, pore-clogging Coppertone of yore. The best new sunscreens are taking an organic approach, using mineral-based, paraben-free formulas to prevent burns and keep your skin healthy. Packed with vitamins and active moisturizing ingredients, they boost your natural defenses against UVA and UVB rays without causing breakouts. If you have fair skin, opt for the strong stuff-- SPF50 or higher. But even if you tan like a Greek god, adding a bit of SPF15 to your daily skin-care regimen will prevent signs of aging. Here, our picks to help you preserve your mug and maintain a youthful glow.
