While men’s skin is thicker and more rugged, a lesser known fact is that their skin as prone to sun burn and pigmentation caused by UVA/UVB rays, as women’s skin. Including a moisturizer with SPF or a sunscreen for men, in their daily skincare regime may help to visibly reduce signs of ageing and tanning. Read on to delve deeper into which sunscreen you can use according to your skin type:

Which sunscreen should I use?

Our Sandalwood & Orange Peel Facial Moisturizer with SPF 25 is the ideal sunscreen for men on-the-go. It is enriched with the freshly grated zest of juicy Oranges and a refreshing paste of Sandalwood. What sets this sunscreen for men apart from others available in the market is an infusion of tender Coconut Water, the most natural form of sun protection that does not leave a white cast on the skin. Instead, this sunscreen for men lends a luminous veil of protection from harmful rays of the sun, with the help of Ayurvedic herbs including Aloe Vera and Ashwagandha. You can also use the Forest Essentials Sun Fluid with SPF 50|PA++ as a sunscreen for men who spend more time outdoors. In this case, the higher the SPF, the better it is for the skin.

Which sunscreen should I use for sensitive skin?

For men with young and sensitive skin, may we suggest our Eladi Day Cream with SPF 30. It has a light texture and is the ideal choice as a sunscreen lotion for men with acne prone skin. The infusion of Rajat Bhasma or Silver Ash has anti-microbial properties that effectively cools and clarifies the skin. Yashad Bhasma is included in this sunscreen for men, which is a natural, effective and safe form of SPF which is prepared by finely processing pure Zinc metal with Aloe Vera juice, as per Ayurvedic texts.

How to use sunscreen?

For best results, apply the sunscreen daily, as the last step of your skin care routine, 20 minutes before sun exposure. Blend a few drops over the entire face including the forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, and the nape of the neck.

How are sunscreens by Forest Essentials different?

Sunscreen’s for men by Forest Essentials is different from its counterparts available in the market as it is light on the skin and does not leave a white cast. Not only our Sun Fluid, but also our selection of moisturizers is infused with the prowess of Yashad Bhasma (Zinc Oxide) and have SPF 25. These are non-greasy, easy to apply and get absorbed by the skin, within a minute. Sunscreen lotions should be chosen according to their SPF and one’s skin type. If you have oily skin, gel-based sunscreen for men would help control sebum production and protect the skin from sun damage. If you have dry or combination skin, a light-textured sunscreen for men will be ideal to avoid sun burns.
