Why Every Man Needs SPF — Even in Winter

Most men skip sunscreen in winter. Here's why that's a mistake — and what to do about it.

The myth about winter sun

Most men think sunscreen is a summer thing. It's not. UV rays don't take a winter break — UVA rays (the ones that cause aging and skin damage) are present year-round, rain or shine, cloud or clear.

What happens when you skip SPF

Every day without protection is a day your skin accumulates damage. It's invisible at first. Then one day you notice lines, uneven tone, and dullness that wasn't there a few years ago. That's cumulative UV damage.

Why mineral SPF is different

Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them to heat. Mineral sunscreens — like ours — physically reflect them. Zinc oxide sits on the skin and bounces rays away before they can penetrate. No heat build-up. No irritation.

One minute is all it takes

Apply SPF after washing your face. That's it. One extra step, one minute, done. Your 40-year-old self will thank your 30-year-old self for starting now.
