Sure, you’ve got a cabinet full of half-used Banana Boat from who knows when waiting for the next beach day or pool visit, but your interest in protecting against the sun shouldn’t exclusively pertain to activities. It should be an everyday effort.
From daily moisturizers with SPF to fortified lip balms and even hair spray, the following five great grooming products have been specially engineered to help men everywhere defend against harmful UV rays this season (and the next one, too).
The Everyday Lotion
Ursa Major Force Field Daily Defense Lotion SPF 18, $54
It may seem over the top, but you should really apply a light sunscreen daily, regardless of the weather. You’re skin will be healthier and stronger for it. This unscented formula features all you need for broad-spectrum sun protection, day in and day out.
The Lip Balm
Jack Black Lip Balm SPF 25, $7.50
No matter how tough you are, your lips can still get sunburned.
So remember, real men use lip balm.
The Sunscreen
Coppertone Sport Sunscreen SPF 50, $8
All the best summer activities involve sweating. So be prepared with some heavy duty sunscreen to match your mission, be it swimming at the beach, tossing the frisbee in the park, biking around town—whatever. And make sure it’s water-resistant, like this classic Coppertone selection.
The Hair Product
Joe Grooming Hair Spray, $13
Hair is a great defense against the sun in its own right, but your scalp can still get burned, believe it or not. This clever hair spray offers the hold you want from a styling product, with the sun you need.
The Conditioner
Paul Mitchell Leave-In Conditioner Cream, $19
The concept of leave-in conditioner is likely new to many, but it’s a great way to enrich your hair and build a foundation each morning. Especially when the hydrating formula includes UV protection, like this Paul Mitchell conditioner does.
