Mineral Sunscreen for Sport, Swimming and Outdoor Training
How to choose and use zinc sunscreen for running, cycling, swimming, surfing and weekend sport.
Apply before activity
Give yourself enough time to apply evenly before heading outdoors.
Cover often-missed areas
Remember ears, neck, shoulders, backs of hands and exposed lower legs.
Reapply as directed
Swimming, sweating and towelling make label-directed reapplication especially important.
Pair with physical protection
Use hats, clothing, shade and sunglasses alongside sunscreen.
A better pre-training habit
Keep sunscreen with the gear you always take: shoes, helmet, goggles, racquet or hydration pack. Linking application to existing equipment makes it easier to remember.
Choose the right format
A 100g tube is easy to carry to training, races and the beach. For clubs or regular team sessions, a bulk pump can create a shared application point.
