Revision Skincare broad spectrum sunscreen, Aveeno daily moisturizer with SPF 30 and EltaMD broad spectrum SPF 40

Gone are the days when sunscreen did just one thing: shield us from harmful UV rays. Nowadays, sunscreens are also packed with ingredients that are good for your skin, like hyaluronic acid, to keep your skin soft and supple.

Some sunscreens can also double as a tinted moisturizer, so you don’t have to put on the foundation to even out your skin tone. But potentially most impressive are the sunscreens with anti-aging properties because they’re also helping reverse the aging damage from previous sun exposure.

These impressive SPFs don’t need to break the bank. Below, we’ve found best-selling anti-aging sunscreens you can shop at Walmart.

Callum French, a lifeguard for the City of Ottawa and Calypso Water Park in Ontario, Canada, recommends the Avon Sun+ SPF 40.

"It's a great sunscreen that prevents burns well and does not irritate or cause acne on my sensitive skin, but most importantly I find that it does not feel like I’m wearing sunscreen," French told HuffPost. "I don't feel greasy, it doesn’t smell, and I am protected in and out of the water. Because I’m wearing sunscreen all the time when I guard outdoors, it really is what I have found to be the best."
