Consumer Reports reveals top sunscreens of 2022
It’s time to bring out the sunscreen.
Summer is here, which means people are spending more time outside in the sun and, hopefully, wearing more sunscreen.
To help people pick the right kind of sunscreen to wear, Consumer Reports published its top sunscreen picks of 2022 last month.

For its recommendations, Consumer Reports tested lotion and spray sunscreens for their SPF and ultraviolet A (UVA) protection.
The organization also tested sunscreens for scent and feel. However, the scent and feel evaluations weren’t included in Consumer Reports’ overall list, the organization said in its report.
