SPF Moisturizer Is An Essential Part Of Your Kit
Good protection should be a year-round pursuit, and that's where men's SPF moisturizers come in.
For the days when you're not mainlining warm, unpronounceable beers on foreign shores, an SPF moisturiser grants a basic level of defense, and prevents signs of sun-related damage: dryness, spots, wrinkles, the lot. What's more, everyday use ensures optimum skincare. UV rays can still permeate cloudy skies, and, according to figures from Cancer Research UK, incidences of melanoma have risen by 55 percent in males over the last decade.
That means you need to look after yourself. And you can do so with one of these.
1 Aesop
Aesop, a brand that built on an empire using hand soap, is here to take men's moisturizers, too. We present to you a double-edged moisturizer: a strong SP50 protection remedy, with an easily absorbed vitamin E ingredient.

2 Kiehl's SPF
Squalane is one of Kiehl's biggest ingredients. That's because it restores natural moisture, softens skin and is all-natural—three things bolstered with the addition of a strong SPF.

3 Anthony Day
Multiple ingredients usually means a thicker balm. But not in Anthony Day's case. Despite a Triple Entente of vitamin E, soy, and glycerin, this SPF moisturiser is effective, but lightweight.

4 Murad
High shine sheen: Great for a new bathroom, less so for your face. Take relief, then, in Murad's oil-control mattifier: an SPF moisturizer that doesn't turn your face into a disco ball.

7 Clinique For Men
There's a reason Clinique is popular among our kind. It delivers easy-to-use, tried-and-tested cabinet staples with no added fuss. This broad moisturiser—a lightweight formula that boasts high hydration—is no exception.

8 The Refinery
Guys with extra oily skin should enlist The Refinery. Not only is there ample skin protection, but a mattifying finish to prevent shiny, slick skin.

9 Natio SPF
There's a reason all-natural means all good. Lavender can repair skin, orange refreshes it, and ylang ylang (oil from a tropical tree found in India) leaves it with a soft finish. Natio's SPF15 moisturizer combines all three.

10 ClarinsMen
