You don’t want something that smells like a piña colada exploded on your chest. Men’s sunscreens usually come in scents like “ocean breeze” or “fresh sport,” so you won’t smell like a cocktail umbrella. Look for one with at least SPF 30—that’s the sweet spot between protection and actually getting some color.
Also, water resistance is key. If you’re sweating like a pig or diving into waves, you need something that stays put. A non-greasy formula is a must unless you enjoy leaving oil slicks on every surface you touch. Nobody wants to shake your hand and end up with a greasy palm.
