When it comes to keeping your skin healthy, few things are as important as a good daily moisturizer. And you definitely don’t want to skip applying a quality facial lotion with added SPF. As any dermatologist will tell you, hydrating your skin not only keeps it smooth and strong, but the added sunscreen reduces the UV-induced photo-damage that leads to skin cancer and premature aging.
Specially-made facial sunscreens are formulated not only to hydrate the skin while prioritizing non-comedogenic ingredients (that is, ones that won’t clog your pores), they will wear lightweight while still providing the same defense from ultraviolet radiation. Dr. Jeremy Fenton, a board-certified dermatologist, says that the best thing you can do for your skin is putting a sunscreen on every day. What should you be looking for? First and foremost, the best sunscreens offer broad-spectrum coverage (both UVA and UVB). And you’ll want an SPF level of 30 or more, which can protect your skin from up to 97% of the sun’s harmful rays. Thankfully, there’s a wide variety of formulations out there for men to choose from, so we tried a bunch and here are our top picks.
