6 Sunscreens to Keep Your Guy From Looking Like This Guy

Prince Harry should've used one of these

For the Guy Who Hates the Greasiness
This SPF really, truly feels like water -- or, more accurately, it feels like face serum, but a guy wouldn't know what that is. It sinks into the skin fast, and it doesn't leave you or your hands the slightest bit greasy.

For the Guy Who Wouldn't Be Caught Dead Using Anything in Girly Packaging
You know this guy: He's dedicated to Old Spice. He smells something floral and rolls his eyes. He won't wear pink. And he probably thinks sunscreen is only for women. Fortunately, Kiehl's knows this guy, too, and they made this sunscreen for him. Maybe the cute plane on the package will convince him to use it.

For the Guy Who Loves to Party
Believe it or not, Jimmy Buffett makes sunscreen. If your guy's a Parrot Head, odds are he'll love this SPF -- plus, it happens to be perfect for the beach. It's a spray so he can reach his back, and it's extremely water resistant.

For the Former Lifeguard
If he has fond memories of spackling bright white zinc on his nose (but you don't necessarily think that's a good look for him), this pot of sunscreen is just the thing. It's pure zinc oxide, but it's not just for noses. The clear formula is perfect for all-over use.

The British tabloids have been running pictures of Prince Harry and Prince William at a bachelor party in London over the weekend, and the headlines all focus on their cocktail consumption and love of the "Harlem Shake."

However, this photo doesn't make me think of partying at all. It makes me think of sunscreen. And it makes me wish I could go back in time, crash the party (apparently the daytime portion involved a riverboat cruise), and slather the Prince in SPF.

Maybe that's one part responsible beauty editor fantasy, and one part every girl's fantasy. The point is, the guy needed to wear sunscreen. And if he did put some on, he needed to reapply, use a higher SPF, or both.

Not only is sunburn annoying, painful, and unattractive (yes, even on cute princes), it also causes sunspots, wrinkles, and can lead to skin cancer. Everyone should wear sunscreen every single day -- dudes and Royals included.

Knowing that guys are an especially difficult sell when it comes to SPF, I've rounded up the six best sunscreens for men -- and there's one for every type of guy. You'll probably want to pick one up for your man before his next guys' trip -- or else he'll come home as crispy as Harry.
