Web Extra: Which Sunscreen for What

After years of caring for skin, Downie has developed a few favorite suncreens for different occassions.

For the Face

Downie prefers the Skin Medica SPF 50 for the face because she said it "rubs right in, is non-greasy and will not block your pores or break you out.

M.D. Forte Sunblock SPF 30

Aveeno Positively Ageless SPF 90

For the Body

Whether you're swimming or chasing after a volleyball, Downie likes Neutrogena Sport Spray SPF 70 to protect your body. "It's thick and clings to sweaty skin but does not need to be reapplied during and after all activities like most other sunblocks," she said.

For the Kids

Downie prefers Aveeno Babies SPF 55 for use on kids because it is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and non-irritating even to sensitive skin. "I still use this on my daughter and she's 7," she said.
