In the UK more men are diagnosed with skin cancer than women, meaning that it is important that men use a face sunscreen all year round.

In this guide, we help you to select our best daily sunscreen for men, Green People for Men Sports+ SPF30 Sun Cream.

Natural and organic, it is perfect for everyday use by all skin types – even if your skin is oily, sensitive or acne prone.

 

 

Which SPF is best for men?

All men need to apply sunscreen daily with a minimum of SPF15. This protects against 93% of UVB rays, the sun rays that are responsible for skin burning.

For higher protection during strong periods of sunshine you may prefer to apply an SPF30 sunscreen for men. Applied correctly, this will protect against 97% of UVB rays.

If your men’s sunscreen features this UVA symbol, it will also provide the required level of protection against UVA rays.

UVA

 

UVA sun rays are longer than UVB rays and can reach deep within the skin when they can cause damage including premature ageing and skin cancer.

Unlike short UVB rays, UVA rays can pass through clouds and glass, and this is why all men need to wear sunscreen every day, regardless of the weather.

 

How much face sunscreen do men need to apply?

Sun cream should be applied every 3-4 hours and men need to apply a 50p size amount to any exposed areas of the skin, such as the face and neck, not forgetting commonly missed places like the nose, ears, head and hands.

 

Men's sun cream

 

If the rest of your body is exposed, follow our tips on how to apply sun cream.

 

Best face sunscreen for men

We think that the best face sunscreen for men is Green People’s Sports+ SPF30 Sun Cream, a 100% mineral facial sun cream formulated to provide high factor UVA & UVB sun defence during sports and outdoor activities.

A natural SPF face cream for men, this multi-tasking moisturiser protects skin without blocking pores or leaving a lasting white hue.

It has a fresh Peppermint scent and can be used to keep skin cool, calm and protected every day.

 

 

Apply it as the last stage of your morning skin care routine and then maintain protection by reapplying every 3-4 hours.

 

Best sensitive sunscreen for men

If you find that scented men’s sunscreens typically cause your skin irritation, it’s worth giving our Scent Free Facial Sun Cream SPF30 a try.

This unscented face sunscreen for men with sensitive skin uses Aloe Vera, Green Tea and Inulin Prebiotics to hydrate and balance skin.

 

 

Best SPF30 body sunscreen for men

Our best body sunscreen for men to choose is Scent Free Sun Cream SPF30, a unisex sun cream that provides everyday sun protection through non-nano filters that absorb easily leaving no white cast behind.

Suitable for those who may be prone to prickly heat or sensitive skin, this scent-free sun cream for men is water repellent, non-pore clogging and allows skin to breathe.

Our Green People for Men collection features a selection of skin-friendly products that work together to build a simple and effective skin care routine for men.
