Matte, Lightweight Sunscreens You'll Love Using During Your 30s And 40s

Wearing sunscreen plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy, youthful-looking skin — just ask any dermatologist! Sun exposure is the most common cause of wrinkles and dark spots.

If you've been avoiding SPF because of the greasy finish it tends to leave behind, look for water-based formulas! Unlike regular sunblocks, this lightweight formula is fast-absorbing, so they dry down to a nice matte finish. Ahead, we rounded up a couple of lightweight sunscreens worth trying out! 

1. Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ PA++++

P488, available online

This highly-raved sunscreen's watery-gel formula feels more like a hydrating serum than a sticky sunscreen — it absorbs quickly, and it leaves the skin feeling nourished, thanks to the hyaluronic acid it contains.
