The 14 Best Foundations With SPF in 2024 (Tested and Reviewed)
Consider your skin type
Aharon suggests starting with your skin type. If you’re oily, you might want a matte finish or oil-free formula that won't leave you feeling shiny midday. For dry skin, however, opt for a moisturizing foundation that's loaded with hydrating ingredients, like hyaluronic acid and squalane, and has a dewy finish that won't cling to dry patches. You’ll also want to think about formulation if you've got sensitive skin. Aharon recommends avoiding any potential irritants like fragrance, essential oils, silicones, or preservatives.
Assess the SPF level
Obviously, as we've stated a bajillion times at this point, your foundation with SPF should not be your only method of sun protection. But still as a rule of thumb, “look for one with SPF 30 and higher to get at least 97% of UVB coverage,” says Dr. Kim. We have a few SPF 25s on this list, but because you should also be incorporating a sunscreen underneath, this should suffice. But pls, pls, pls, make sure you're also using sunscreen.
