There are a couple of factors that make sunscreens glowier than others. Lam breaks them down:<\/p>\n
\u201cOften there\u2019s overlap, because hydrating ingredients can give skin that plump, dewy appearance. But shine is not a hydration test<\/a>. A sunscreen can look luminous because of reflective pigments without being particularly rich or moisturizing. I\u2019d judge by the ingredient list and how your skin feels several hours later. If your cheeks look radiant but feel tight, you may still need moisturizer underneath<\/a>. Think of shimmer as the statement earring; hydration is the comfortable outfit doing the heavy lifting,\u201d says Dr. Gohara.<\/p>\n \u201cLook for glycerin or hyaluronic acid<\/a> to draw in water, emollients such as squalane to soften the skin, and dimethicone for a silky, smooth finish. Panthenol also helps attract and retain moisture, while ceramides support the skin barrier<\/a>. For an immediate light-catching effect, look for mica or synthetic fluorphlogopite, a manufactured mica-like ingredient. You don\u2019t need every ingredient on the list: think of it as a recipe, where the right balance matters more than how many ingredients you squeeze into the bowl,\u201d says Dr. Gohara.<\/p>\n When Allure<\/em> tests a product<\/a>, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that’s included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients<\/a> and formulas.<\/p>\n For our list of the best sunscreens for glowing skin, we considered each product’s performance across five primary categories: product ingredients and efficacy, packaging, fragrance, texture, and product wear. Every product was determined to have excelled in each category by our editorial team, which is composed of in-house writers and editors as well as contributors\u2014along with special consideration from dermatologists.

You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure<\/em> wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors \u2014 in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon \u2014 is essential to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n After all, can we really<\/em> say a skin-care product is the \u201cbest\u201d for people over 50<\/a> if the only testers we\u2019ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it\u2019s never been tested on curls? We\u2019re proud that our staff<\/a> spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Frequently Asked Questions What makes some sunscreens glowier than others?
