Gone (thankfully!) are the days when we slathered on baby oil and baked for hours in the sun in hopes of developing a deep tan. Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about the necessity of protecting our skin from the sun’s harmful rays and sunscreen is now considered an essential product to use religiously for all  who spend any time outdoors or have prolonged exposure to the sun. 

The primary benefit of using sunscreen is that it acts as a barrier between the skin and UV radiation, preventing the harmful rays from penetrating the skin and causing skin damage,  premature aging, and even skin cancer. People who spend time in the sun without proper protection are at a higher risk of developing skin cancer, especially if they have fair skin. Now, we have such a wealth of skin protection products from which to choose! Here at IMBOLDN, we’ve compiled a list of our top 9 picks for the best sunscreen for men.
