Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sunscreen is far from the most exciting beauty buy but it is an absolute essential, so you may as well make sure you pick up a good one. Luckily, there is no short supply of creams, lotions and sprays, all of which claim to protect your body from those harsh UV rays in different ways.

We’ve already rounded up our favourite body sunscreen, deep-diving into what really makes some stand out more than others, and plenty made the cut. However, one sunscreen stood out from the rest, taking the top spot in our review of the best body sunscreens.

It’s incredibly easy to apply, as it comes in a handy spray bottle, which means no more rubbing lotion into sandy feet. Just keep scrolling to see why our beauty buff loved it so much.

This body SPF received high praise in our review, with our tester noting that it’s “an all round excellent product,”. They added that it’s a delight to apply, thanks to the handy spray applicator, which allows the sunscreen to be quickly absorbed into the skin.

“It also lasts a surprisingly long time and feels soft and nourishing when applied to the skin,” they continued, which is always a great sign for sunscreen as it means you don’t have to worry about re-applying too often. It is worth noting though that it has a water resistance of just 80 minutes, which is lower than some of the other formulas we tested. However, that still gives you plenty of swimming time before you need to reapply.
