For some reason, guys have never been good at wearing sunscreen. I fall into this category, too. I’m not sure why, but it always feels like a hassle to apply SPF at the end of my skincare routine in the morning.
I know this is outdated thinking because we all know the consequences of not playing SunSmart. So now, in 2021, it’s as important as ever to ditch old habits and ensure that your beauty cabinet is stocked with some form of sun care for wherever and whatever the day might throw your way.
As we head into the summer season, here are some great sunscreen options every guy should consider wearing, along with hats, caps and sunglasses for added sun protection.
The moisturiser with SPF
If you’re of the notion that all sunscreen is dewy, greasy and super difficult to rub in (leaving you looking as white as Casper the ghost), stress less, as there now is a thing called moisturiser with SPF which offers 50+ broad spectrum protection and is hydrating, super lightweight and fast absorbing.

The heavy-duty SPF
If you’re a stickler for the rules and only work with SPF50+, look no further than the Aesop Protective Body Lotion. Not only does it offer high SPF50+ protection, but it also provides up to four hours’ water resistance, offers a lightweight skin feel and smells fantastic. A must-have for the beach bag this summer, guys.

The lip SPF
Very often we neglect our lips when it comes to sun protection but lips are incredibly susceptible to sunburn, which will eventually result in dry, cracked lips – not a good look. Keep on top of your lip game with our Ultra Violette Lip SPF. Suitable for all guys and appropriate to apply any time of the day. They will keep your lips hydrated and protected from unwanted UVA and UVB rays.
