I used to love dewy sunscreen. For years, I exclusively wore glow-boosting formulas that made my skin look radiant and reflective. Recently, though, I've had a change of heart. Blame it on my summer skin which tends to be oily and shiny, or blame it on TikTok for exposing me to soft-focus velvety makeup trends, but I've been swapping my dewy SPFs for matte ones.

Let me be clear. I don't use just any matte sunscreen. I use modern matte formulas—not the traditional ones that have historically gotten a bad rap and are why so many people associate the word 'matte' with thick and chalky formulas. After all, I'm a beauty editor with strict standards for sunscreen. I won't put up with formulas that are tough to blend or leave behind a white cast. Ahead see the 12 modern matte formulas I love. They protect my skin and give it that soft, blurred, and velvety quality I love.
