I LOVE summer, but I hate the beauty problems that come with the hot weather. If it's not frizzy hair, it's oily skin and sunburn. And don't get me started on my sunscreen dilemma. When it comes to finding one for my body, that's usually no problem. But finding a formula that's light enough to not break me out and doesn't leave a nasty white residue all over my naturally tan face could be a challenge!

I have friends who don't put sunscreen on their faces all year long just because they can't stand the white residue that shows up on their medium or dark complexions. And who could blame them? It looks gross and awkward especially when it's layered under your foundation or BB cream. But because wearing sunscreen is SO important, I took the liberty of testing out a few along with my fellow staffers to find you the best ones for Latinas with medium or dark skin!

Neutrogena
The Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture Facial Moisturizer SPF 35 ($10) is one of my favorites. It's a moisturizer and sunscreen in one, that doesn't leave my face shiny or with annoying white stuff.
Mary Kay
Our tanned-skin assistant managing editor swears by Mary Kay Sun Care Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($17). It absorbs quickly and it's also water and sweat-resistant.
Josie Maran
The Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 with Sunboost ATB ($32) might consist of pure argan oil, jojoba oil and green tea, but it's actually a lightweight, non-greasy formula that doesn't just protect your skin from sun damage but also nourishes it, leaving you with a radiant complexion.
Aveeno
A lot of dark-skinned women I know LOVE Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($13). It hydrates skin, protects it from harmful UV rays and also evens your complexion. A sunscreen that banishes dark spots, how about that?
Jurlique
Want a sunscreen that's going to protect you from the sun but also wards off wrinkles? Try Jurlique Sun Lotion SPF 30 +($14). It's infused with avocado, jojoba oil and glycerin to hydrate and protect skin along with Vitamin E and other natural antioxidants that help fight aging.
