From SELF magazine:

Best Face Sunscreen - Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion SPF 70, $11, "I'm more apt to wear this sunscreen daily because even with such a high SPF, it lacks the usual greasiness," a tester said. This sunblock combines antioxidants and proteins for the ultimate shield.

Best Body Sunscreen Lotion - Juice Beauty Green Apple SPF 20 Antioxidant Body Moisturizer, $34, This chemical-free block has peptides to restore elasticity and alpha hydroxy acid to exfoliate. "It brightened, moisturized and smoothed my skin," one enthusiast raved.

Best Body Sunscreen Spray - Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock SPF 70 with Helioplex, $10, If you sometimes feel like a catortionist trying to get a spray to work, you'll like this sunscreen: it mists from every angle. Readers praised the dry-touch formula. "The mist's smooth, not sticky, spray was easy to use."

Best Mineral Sunscreen - Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 30, $22, "This block soaked in faster than other chalky formulas." With aloe vera to calm sun-exposed skin, the sunscreen has minerals to protect against free radical damage.

Best Face Self-Tanner - Garnier Nutrioniste Ultra-Lift Glow Anti-Wrinkle Firming Moisture Cream SPF 15, $15, Get a subtle faux glow, plus skin hydrators and protection, thanks to fortifying rice proteins, vitamin A and omega oils. Readers said this lotion, "felt lightweight, like I had nothing on," and they praised the "not-too-noticeable tint" it gave to their complexion. "It made my skin look healthier overall."

Best Body Self-Tanner Lotion - Hawaiian Tropic Island Radiance Self-Tanner, $9, For serious self-tanners who want a deep bronze Brazillian tan, this one develops three shades darker than your normal skin tone. "I enjoyed the gel formula and how quickly the tan builds. I applied in the morning, and I looked more bronze by lunchtime," one tester said. And the ingredients list reads like a summer smoothie, with hydrating mango, guava and papaya extracts.

Best Body Self-Tanner Spray - L'Oreal Paris Sublime ProPerfect Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist, $10, With its hands-free application, this bottled bronzer is like getting a salon spray tan at home. "It gives your body an ideal golden color."

Best Glow Lotion - Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer, $8, Finally: a glow lotion that delivers faux vacation color fast (in only three days!). "Others take so much work, but this one lets you see a sun-kissed shade faster."

There is also a section on products for hair, makeup, body and face. This is the May issue of SELF magazine with Jennifer Garner on the front. Hope this is useful!:cool:
