Sun care

Whether you're riding the waves or cruising on a paddleboard, your skin is exposed to intense sun, wind, and saltwater. That’s where Sun care products come in. Designed specifically for water sports enthusiasts, these products offer high-performance protection to help you stay safe under the sun without compromising on comfort or durability. From waterproof sunscreens to nourishing after-sun care, this category is essential for anyone who spends time outdoors.

What is sun care and why it matters

Sun care refers to a range of skincare products formulated to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and other environmental elements. For athletes and adventurers, it's not just about avoiding sunburn—proper sun care reduces the risk of long-term skin damage, including premature aging and even skin cancer. Products like colour sunscreen sticks are designed to stay in place during intense activities, making them a smart choice for windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUP, and wingfoiling.

These specialized formulas are often reef-safe, water-resistant, and easy to reapply, making them ideal for ocean lovers. Whether you're spending all day on the water or just enjoying a sunny afternoon, Sun care is your first line of defense.

How and when to use sun care products

Using Sun care effectively means more than a quick application before heading out. For best results:

• apply 15-30 minutes before exposure to allow the product to fully bind to your skin,
• reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating,
• choose SPF 30 or higher for prolonged outdoor activities,
• cover commonly missed areas like ears, lips, and the back of the neck,
• use after-sun products to soothe and hydrate skin post-session.

These steps ensure that you're protected from the sun's harshest effects, even during long sessions on the water.

Sun care essentials for water sports

For water sports enthusiasts, Sun care isn’t optional—it’s a vital part of your gear. Colour sunscreen sticks, for example, offer targeted, visible protection that won’t run into your eyes or wash off mid-session. Their compact size also makes them easy to stash in any dry bag or board pocket.

No matter your sport or skill level, integrating Sun care into your routine ensures you can keep enjoying the elements while safeguarding your skin for the long run.
