Merlot for Men Moisturizer SPF 15

Even if Dad spends much of his day indoors during the week, when he hits the golf course, beach, hiking trail, or backyard on the weekends, he needs a moisturizer with sun protection that is specially formulated for men. Brand new from Merlot, this cruelty-free men’s moisturizer is made with powerful grape seed antioxidants, cucumber and green tea extracts, and SPF 15 to ward off sunburn, aging related to the sun, and skin cancer. Dad can generously slather the non-oily formula on after shaving and showering. While you’re at it, consider some of the other Merlot products, such as the body butter and blemish/acne treatment.
