Wearing water-resistant sunscreen with SPF40 and over is an absolute must while on board, in order to avoid sunburn (red faces are for first-timers) and protect the skin from more serious damage. To prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging, as well as reducing the risk of skin cancer, it’s good practice to wear a bit of sun protection in your everyday moisturiser too. While women’s everyday sun protection needs are well catered for, the men’s skincare market offers far less options – we’ve done the research and rounded up the best.
