8 Stellar Sunscreens Under 20 Bucks

Give your skin the best protection without emptying your wallet.

Everyone loves spending time outside in the summer. And we all know how important it is to protect ourselves from the sun’s powerful rays. A good sunscreen can not only prevent sunburn but, most importantly, it can substantially decrease your risk of skin cancer. According to Stuart Zweibel, MD, PhD, a physician at White Plains Hospital Physician Associates-Westchester Dermatology and Mohs Surgery, people should look for a “broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater.” According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a leading non-profit environmental health and advocacy organization, these 8 sunscreens are the best-rated, most widely available options for both your skin and your wallet.
