SPF season is here, baby, and we couldn’t be more excited.

Not only are we super jazzed on all things SPF because of the UVA and UVB protection they provide but because some on the market are just so good and hydrating, we can’t seem to go without them in our day-to-day skincare routines.

But, one thing’s for sure — there’s a Persian buffet of SPF products on the market, from body sunscreens to moisturizers with SPF, that it can seem overwhelming to choose the very best one for you.

That’s why the New York Post Shopping team curated a custom edit of all the SPF products we can’t go without. Seriously, we asked each other, “What’s your favorite SPF product?” in our team meeting and the 21 products that made the cut below are the ones we all discussed.

What’s more, you’ll want to also pick up a feel-good bikini (or swim trunk), a practical beach wagon and cart and a portable outdoor cooler (or, a snazzy backpack cooler) ahead of warm-weather beach season.

For now, browse through the crème de la crème of SPF products that offer protection and silky-smooth hydration for every price point and skin type.

Top options include Supergoop!, Banana Boat, Native and more.

“This sunscreen is everything. If you want to smell like a five-star tropical resort, the Native Coconut & Pineapple Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is beyond compare. It’s just $20, too, and works perfectly for my sensitive skin. It’s also the body sunscreen I wear on repeat.” — Victoria Giardina, commerce journalist and content strategist

“It’s lightweight, it’s not sticky, and it smells great. Sure, lots of sunscreens can say that, but the list is quickly narrowed when you realize it’s also comparable to many sports sunscreens on the market. It’s broad spectrum protection that is sweat- and water-resistant, and it feels like any body lotion you would apply anyway. The best kind of sunscreen is the kind you’ll want to wear, and this is one I want to wear every day.” — Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director

“This is as basic as it gets, but I need a spray sunscreen with max SPF for my fair skin. I love being in the water, and I feel that this brand sticks the best to my skin and is also the easiest to reapply after a dip in the pool or ocean — no need to rub in a formula over my sandy skin — ouch.” — Sophie Cannon, senior commerce journalist and special projects coordinator

“Before this Murad SPF serum came into my life, I always struggled to put on sunscreen everyday. This makes it simple and easy since the formula is so lightweight. Not only that but it smells great and layers well underneath makeup, too.” — Camryn La Sala, commerce editor and writer

“Lightweight, non-drying, and sheer with a matte finish, Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen is my go-to for everyday wear. It’s also oil-free and unscented, so if oily textures or strong scents are something you don’t like, Unseen Sunscreen is a great option.” — Angela Tricarico, Decider commerce writer/reporter

“As someone who burns really easily, I appreciate Sun Bum’s lightweight formula, which not only protects my skin (thank you SPF 50!) from the sun, but leaves behind a nice banana-like scent.” — Rylee Johnston, commerce updates writer

“This formula is so lightweight and moisturizing, it’s easy to see why a slew of stars and supermodels (think Kourtney Kardashian and Brooke Shields) are fans of EltaMD.” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six commerce writer/reporter

“Meet the facial sunscreen I use every single day: the Dr.Jart+ Every Sun Day Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+. As its name suggests, it truly is a sunscreen you should use every day. What’s great about it is its hydration, efficacy and ability to squeeze out white but not leave a white cast. It’s a superstar.” — Victoria Giardina, commerce journalist and content strategist

“This Blue Lizard mineral sunscreen is a great broad-spectrum lotion that provides superior sun protection thanks to a blend of two hero ingredients, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. What really sets Blue Lizard apart is the unique bottle – it literally turns blue when exposed to UV rays, serving as an excellent indicator of when you should have it on.” — Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director

“When it comes to body sunblock, I always reach for the original Sun Bum SPF 30 spray. It doesn’t give a white cast or a sticky residue and smells amazing.” — Camryn La Sala, commerce editor and writer

“Neutrogena’s Beach Defense spray is oil-free, which makes it perfect for wet and dry skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave your skin feeling kind of gross afterwards, the way some sunscreen sprays or lotions do.” — Angela Tricarico, Decider commerce writer/reporter

“My face is extra sensitive and most facial sunscreens produce a burning sensation under my eyes — or worse, when it mixes with pool or beach water my under eye skin gets red rings of irritation, which is anything but ideal. I’ve found that this Clinique sunscreen has a gentler formula that also comes with little to no scent. I also love how it’s a peachy-orange color so it doesn’t leave behind white streaks if I don’t rub it in all the way.” — Rylee Johnston, commerce updates writer

“If I want a lotion-based sunscreen that I can use on both my face and body, I like the PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 with Sunflower Extract. It doesn’t break me out and gets the job done. I like that it gives a lot of hydration and has a waterproof formulation for outdoor workouts or long periods of time in the sun. The smell is pretty great, too.” — Camryn La Sala, commerce editor and writer

“If you’re in the market for a heavy-duty chemical face sunscreen that’s not messing around, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Broad Spectrum SPF 70 Lotion is the way to go. This is a chemical sunscreen that goes on thick, but trust me, it’s worth it. And while it may seem like there’s a bit of a white cast at first, it rubs in like a dream, even if you’ve got a bit of a beard going on. No fuss, no muss — just serious sun protection that lasts all day long.” — Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director

“Whenever I’m outside in the summer, I’m usually wearing my hair in a tight ponytail, and never really considered that there would be a way to prevent the line of sunburn I typically get on my scalp — until I found Supergoop!’s SPF part powder.” — Angela Tricarico, Decider commerce writer/reporter

“This lightweight liquid has a fluid formula that blends away easily — even with facial hair. It’s like a unicorn of mineral sunscreens, defying all expectations and delivering the ideal amount of broad-spectrum sun protection without any greasy, pasty hassle.

The best part? It has proprietary DNA Repairsomes, which according to the brand, have been clinically proven to repair existing sun damage. That literally means it not only protects from future sun damage, but it also helps repair damage from the past.” — Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director

“The COOLA Scalp and Hair Sunscreen Mist is ideal for anyone with thinning hair or a desire to cover every square inch of their exposed body (and I’m not judging, because I’m right there with you). It’s a gentle, water-resistant mist that doesn’t leave any sticky residue or gunky buildup. The applicator tip makes quick coverage easy.” — Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director

“Not only is this über hydrating face SPF affordably priced for daily use, but it’s also incredibly moisturizing. However, fair warning for those who prefer a lighter texture, this might be a little on the heavy side for your liking. It does, in fact, leave your skin looking dewy all day long. So if you’re in the market for a sunscreen that moisturizes and protects without breaking the bank, take a look at The INKEY List.” — Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director

“Hot take — One of the best broad-spectrum SPFs is from Walmart, and it’s cheap. Equate Sport Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50 is essential for trips when you need to buy in bulk. Why? Despite its budget-friendly price tag, it’s often ranked as one of the top sunscreens by Consumer Reports. It’s simple without any frills, but it does what it was formulated to do well.” – Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director

“If I am going on vacation or spending hours upon hours outside and need fast and easy SPF, I go for this Coppertone Sport sunscreen spray. It’s affordable and protects well, which means you don’t need to be modest with coverage. Since spray sunscreens are often woefully under-applied — Harvard Health highlights how studies show many people apply only one-quarter of the needed amount — it is important to use be liberal with its coverage. — Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director

“Do you know what sucks? Wearing greasy sunscreen that calls itself a body lotion in the hot summer months. Yet, as someone who has been at a higher risk of skin cancer for just about my entire life, I do my best not to skip a beat. Finding this changed the game. It is incredibly lightweight and, dare I say, refreshing?

There are many great options in the La Roche-Posay Anthelios collection, but if you’re vehemently opposed to feeling even hotter and sticker while just trying to exist in the summer, go for this one.” — Barret Wertz, commerce editorial director
