Okay, you may or may not know that I am Asian, and have some natural sunscreen in the form of melatonin in my skin so I tan but don’t burn over-easily.
But I wear sunscreen everyday, faithfully since I live in Hawaii.
So…..not to name names, but I know of more than a few men with blue eyes, freckle skin, red hair, or blonde or some variation on the theme, who do not wear sunscreen.
Not only do they not wear sunscreen, but they refuse to wear sunscreen.
I’ve heard it from my friends whose husbands can’t stand to put anything girly or creamy on their skin, and other significant people who just don’t think it’s manly.
Eh–what’s manly about skin cancer, moles, irregular shaped funny-looking, crusty-crispy stuff, apparently growing on your face, body, head, arm, leg etc.
Ok, a little ruggedness wrinkle edges or scratchiness is okay, but skin cancer is not.
So…..
I’ve found the perfect product that all concerned women and readers of this post can offer up to any man or young man to use to protect their skin.
I give a high recommend to Clinique‘s Super Defense, SPF 25. It comes in a few combinations for dry to normal, normal-oily etc. It not only protects their facial skin from the sun’s very harmful rays, but shhhhhhhh – it’s also skincare.
It has moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients, but don’t tell them that.
Just tell them – it doesn’t smell girly, in fact it barely has fragrance.
It’s texture is less frothy-it’s typical Clinique-it has an almost plastic feel to the cream.
It comes in a uni-sex colored jar – I call it Clinique minty-green, with silver lettering.
Clinique does have the M line for men, which comes in a dark gunmetal gray packaging, but for a funny reason does not have this same product. In fact, the men’s line really isn’t very developed.
So ladies, moms, girlfriends, wives and friends – get your man putting on this sunscreen-tell him it’s a cream version of your love and affection.
hehe
