Thick, white, goopy sunblock is a thing reserved for camp lifeguards and grandparents vacationing at the beach. Thankfully, the days of being forced to use a toothpaste-like cream that leaves white residue are gone. Today, getting good, invisible sun protection is easy, as the best SPF-inclusive creams out there are sophisticated, light, and do way more than just block sun. From face to body, here are psychoPEDIA’s favorite five:

Clarins UV Plus Day Screen High Protection SPF 40 $40 (1 oz)
If this product had no SPF in it, it'd still be a winner for the way it feels: light, luxurious, instantly absorbent and emollient. But the fact that it contains a whopping SPF of 40 takes it over the top; due to its micronized mineral filter technology, it's completely smooth and great for sensitive skin. And it leaves your face looking matte -- a major boon in the sweaty months. It’s among the most cutting-edge skincare available.

Kiehl's Creme de Corps Light-Weight Body Lotion SPF 30 $26.50 (8.4oz)
Kiehl's original Creme de Corps is one of the most lavish body creams on the market -- its rich texture provides a massive moisture infusion. Now they have a new summer version, that's lighter weight and more appropriate for the hot weather – but, though lighter than the original, it feels just as luxurious. And it's got SPF 30, important because while we know to slather our face with SPF, too often we forget our precious limbs.

Shiseido Sun Protection Spray SPF 16 for Hair & Body 5 oz, $26
Your hair can get sunburned too -- and though there are not the same health risks associated with skin exposure, there is a palpable risk of your hair looking really bad. That's where this spray comes in -- not only does it shield hair from the sun without weighing it down, it also works great on your body, not to mention that it has a fresh, light botanical scent.

Estee Lauder Sun Towelettes SPF 15 $25 (for 10)
The key with this product is the easy delivery system -- just a sweep of the hand and you're done. This individually wrapped towelettes make it easy to stay protected from the sun on-the-run or if you're out for a beach day -- just throw a few in your bag and go. The moist towelettes have water-resistant, broad-spectrum SPF 15 protection, and anti-spot technology that ensures an even application.

Cellex-C Hydra Hand Cream SPF 15 $40
You can’t get a face lift for your hands; therefore, they are one of the places your age shows first. To prevent spotting and wrinkling, you have to get SPF into your hand cream. This one’s got an SPF of 15, as well as Cellex-C’s typically exhaustive blend of exotic moisturizing ingredients, like kikui nut oil, horse chestnut extract, chamomile and shea butter. So you can feel confident sealing the deal with a hearty handshake.
