4 Things to Know About Sunscreen Under Your Beard

Beard hair is not a UV shield The skin under your beard burns just like the rest of your face, but you may not notice until later.

Apply sunscreen to your whole face, then work it into the beard Use a lotion or cream instead of a spray so you can massage it down to the skin. A matte or dry-touch formula prevents a greasy look.

For dense or long beards, try a sunscreen stick or SPF balm These target the skin without coating every hair strand, but rubbing in lotion like shampoo works fine too.

Your chin needs the same protection as your nose Don’t skip the skin under your beard just because it’s hidden.
