Sweaty Gentlemen, These are Sunscreens For Oily Skin
For the month of December and January 2021, you might notice that we have changed the way we are presenting things on our site. While we could have taken the easy way out and presented generic festive stories with generic festive ideas — top 10 shoes to party in, the best log cakes that are available for delivery and festive hampers to gift friends and family — at Men’s Folio, we believe in ideas that are as functional as they are frivolous, as smart as they are easy to wing and as enriching to you as they will be to the people around you. In short, we want to be as useful as possible because #aintnobodygottime.

Hence, we’ll be presenting 60 very useful ideas for the festive season and into the 365 days to come for the next 60 days. Here is idea 42: we recommend sunscreens for oily skin.

The curation for these sunscreens for oily skin is simple — it has to thwart UVA and UVB rays, feel comfortable on one’s skin, should not leave a white or oily cast and achieve in preserving one’s good looks for the years to come.

From top: The Caudalie Anti-Wrinkle Face Suncare SPF50 smells pleasingly like grapes, the Dior Prestige The UV Protection Youth and Light SPF 50+ PA+++ promises more youthful skin in a week, the Shiseido Global Suncare The Perfect Protector SPF 50+ PA+++ ups the suncare ante the sweatier you get,  the Chanel UV Essentiel Complete Protection UV Pollution SPF 50 PA++++ even fights off blue light, the IDS Skincare S3 Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ comes in a variety of natural shades, the Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF50 PA++++ works even for water sports.

The Salt & Stone Mineral Sunscreen Water Resistant resists water for up to three hours, the Clinique Mineral Sunscreen Fluid For Face SPF30 PA+++ also resists blue light, the I Woke Up Like This Protecting Base Sun Cream SPF50+ PA+++ gives one a dewy glow, the EST.LAB Sunshield SPF 50+++ goes on moist and dries matte, the Supergoop! Mineral CC Screen SPF 50 PA+++ comes in a wide variety of skin shades, the Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense SPF30 instantly plumps the skin up, the Clarins Sun Care Water Mist SPF50+ comes in a handy mist bottle, the Skinnies SPF30 Sungel just requires a pea sized blob.

The Avene Fluid Fragrance-Free SPF 50+ is made specifically for sensitive skin and the Dr.Weil for Origins Mega-Defense Advanced Daily UV Defender SPF45 PA+++ also fights off pollution and free radicals.
