CR's Guide to Staying Safe in the Sun
Every year, Consumer Reports tests and rates sunscreens. This year, we reviewed more than 70 popular products, testing for overall performance and UVA and SPF protection, as well as assessing their scent and feel. But we also have plenty of advice on other ways to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays, using sunscreen the safest way, and preventing skin cancer. Check this page frequently through the summer to find everything you need to stay safe in the sun.
