Sun & Skin Protection

Protecting your skin from the elements is crucial for maintaining peak performance and well-being during outdoor activities. Our range of sun and skin protection products offers effective solutions designed to shield against harmful UV rays while providing hydration and nourishment.

Sun protection is essential for endurance athletes who often spend prolonged periods outdoors. Proper sun safety helps prevent skin damage, lowers the risk of skin cancer, and enhances performance by reducing the risk of sun-induced fatigue. Here’s how to stay protected under the sun.

Understanding UV Exposure

• The Basics of UV Radiation: UVA rays cause skin ageing; UVB rays lead to sunburn. Both increase the risk of skin cancer.
• Peak Hours to Avoid: UV radiation is strongest between 10 AM and 4 PM. Try to train earlier or later in the day.

Effective Sunscreen Use

• Choosing the Right Sunscreen: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen that is water-resistant. Products like PELOTAN SPF 30 Spray and LifeJacket Mineral Sun Stick SPF 50+ are ideal for endurance activities.
• Application Tips: Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure. Cover areas often missed (ears, back of neck, bald spots), and reapply every two hours or more frequently if sweating or swimming.

By following these sun safety tips, athletes can enjoy outdoor training and racing without compromising skin health. Sun & skin protection is all about preparation—apply sunscreen properly, dress appropriately, and stay aware of your environment.

Understanding the risks and adopting effective protective measures ensures you stay safe, comfortable, and ready to perform at your best—whatever the weather.
