Summer is almost here and Consumer Reports is out with its annual list of the top sunscreens to keep you safe in the sun.
The nonprofit organization this year tested 82 sunscreen products on the market, considering everything from how the product delivers on SPF coverage to fulfilling waterproof claims.
"What we aim to do is give people a comparative evaluation of different sunscreens on the market so they can make the best choices for them," Trisha Calvo, Consumer Reports' deputy content editor for health and food, told "Good Morning America."
There is an important reason why Consumer Reports tests sunscreens on the market each year, according to Calvo.

An SPF of 30 and above is recommended by doctors. Sunscreen users should reapply at least every two hours and should also check the directions on the bottle, experts say.
Some of the top products on this year's Consumer Reports list are bargains, with one pick priced as low as $3.
