Sunscreen is the single most effective anti-aging product. The best one is the one you will wear every day.
Look for both UVA and UVB coverage. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (mineral) or avobenzone and tinosorb (chemical) provide broad spectrum defense.
SPF 30 blocks ~97% of UVB rays; SPF 50 blocks ~98%. The difference is small, but higher SPF gives a margin of error for under-application.
Mineral sunscreens sit on top of skin (better for sensitive types). Chemical sunscreens absorb into skin (more cosmetically elegant). Hybrid formulas combine both.
White cast, greasiness, and pilling matter because they affect compliance. The most protective sunscreen is useless if you hate wearing it.
