Why Bald Heads Need Special Care
Going bald is a bold move—but it also means your scalp is fully exposed to the elements. Without hair to shield it, your skin is vulnerable to sunburn, premature aging, pigmentation and skin cancer. That’s why SPF and moisturiser with UV-A for bald guys isn’t just skincare—it’s a daily essential.
Whether you’re clean-shaven or naturally bald, your scalp needs protection and hydration. And to do that right, you need to understand the difference between UVA and UVB rays, and how to choose the right bald guy moisturiser.
UVA vs. UVB: What’s the Difference?
UVA Rays
- Penetrate deep into the skin
- Cause wrinkles, age spots, and long-term damage
- Present all year-round, even on cloudy days
- Can pass through glass (yes, even indoors)
UVB Rays
- Affect the outer layer of the skin
- Cause sunburns and visible damage
- Strongest during summer months
- Directly linked to skin cancer
For bald men, both types of rays are a threat.
Why Bald Guys Need UV-A + Moisturiser + Sunscreen
Your scalp is:
- Thinner and more sensitive than other skin areas
- Constantly exposed to direct sunlight
- Prone to dryness, flaking, and irritation
Using a bald guy moisturiser with UV-A and frequent application of Sunscreen with SPF during summer months helps:
- Prevent sunburns and peeling
- Reduce the risk of skin cancer
- Keep the scalp hydrated and smooth
- Avoid the dreaded shiny head look
What to Look for in Bald Guy Moisturiser
UV-A is key All Year Long
Protects against both UVA which is present all year long and is called the ‘silent killer’ as it also affects your scalp on cloudy days and indoors through glass.
SPF Sunscreen on Sunny Days
Protects against UVB rays. SPF 30 is ideal for daily use; SPF 50 for extended outdoor exposure. A moisturiser with broad spectrum SPF can be used, but be careful as most men only apply it once in morning creating a false sense of protection. To be protected against UVB, it is advised to repeat every 2 hours, so a separate sunscreen with SPF instead of a Moisturiser with SPF is advised.
Matte Finish
Avoid greasy or shiny formulas. Look for matte-finish moisturisers that absorb quickly and reduce glare.
Hydrating Ingredients
Look for vitamin E, aloe vera, and witch hazel to soothe and nourish the scalp.
Non-Comedogenic
Your scalp has pores too. Use products that won’t clog them or cause breakouts.
