Golfers are among the athletes most exposed to the risks of the sun. Protecting your skin on the course is fundamental to protect yourself from sunburn, skin aging or more serious skin cancer.

Find the recommendations of the DERMASWING Consulting Dermatologist:

  • Choose the strongest protection, SPF 50+, to apply every 2 hours. A lower SPF protection (15 to 30) will protect for less time and will have to be renewed more often. Sun protection does not prevent tanning; the tan will be done more slowly, with less risk of damaging the skin in the long term. This tan will be of better quality and will last longer.
  • Prefer anti-UVA (which penetrate deeply and accelerate aging of the skin) and anti-UVB (which cause sunburn) protection.
  • Choose a formula "resistant to sweat" so that it does not run into the eyes and that protection persists during physical exertion.
  • Apply generously to areas exposed to the sun.
  • Hole 9: Reapply your sunscreen.
  • Avoid sunburn.
  • Wear wide brimmed hat and sunglasses
  • Protect yourself even if the weather is cloudy
  • Choose a product that is easy and pleasant to use. Reserve sprays for the body, avoid using them on the face under penalty of having sun filters that irritate the eyes.
