Sunscreen & Care: Protect Your Skin All Year Round

(12 products)

Why is sun protection essential in surfing?

Surf practitioners often spend several hours exposed to UV rays. Water reflects some of the solar radiation while the wind and sea spray can sometimes reduce the feeling of heat, increasing the risk of sunburn without immediate awareness.

Since 1976, we have seen that surf sun protection is one of the most important pieces of equipment & surf accessories to sustainably protect the skin of regular practitioners.

Choosing a sunscreen suitable for water sports

Not all sunscreens are designed to withstand the demands of surfing. A waterproof sunscreen or a sun stick specifically developed for water sports generally offers better durability against water, salt, and sweat.

The choice mainly depends on the duration of the sessions, the level of exposure, and your skin's sensitivity.

Sunscreen, UV stick, or after-sun care?

Surf sunscreens provide complete protection for the face and body. UV sticks are particularly appreciated for the most exposed areas like the nose, cheekbones, or lips.

After the session, after-sun care helps to rehydrate the skin, soothe irritations, and limit the effects of prolonged sun exposure.

Essential protection all year round

Even when the sky is overcast, UV rays are still present. Many practitioners think about protecting their skin only during the summer, while winter sessions can also cause significant long-term damage.

An appropriate protection routine allows for more relaxed surfing throughout the year.

Completing your gear for long days in the sun

Sun protection is not limited to applying cream. Surf Hats provide additional protection, especially appreciated during long waits in the lineup, paddle sessions, or days spent on the beach.

The Surf Ponchos and Beach Towels also help to shield from the sun after the session and provide more comfort on the spot.

Organizing your surf trips and beach days

Sunscreens and care products are now essential for many surf trips. The Waterproof Bags make it easy to transport products while protecting them from water and sand.

Transport equipment for Surf makes organizing trips to the most remote spots easier.

FAQ

Protection & Care

Which sunscreen to choose for surfing?

Choose a water-resistant sunscreen with a high SPF, specially designed for water sports.

Are sunscreen sticks effective?

Yes. UV sticks provide excellent protection on the most exposed areas like the nose, cheekbones, and lips.

Should you apply sunscreen even when it's cloudy?

Yes. UV rays pass through clouds and continue to affect the skin even when the sun is not very visible.

How often should you reapply your sunscreen?

It is generally recommended to reapply every two hours and after a long immersion in water.

Why use after-sun care?

After-sun care helps to rehydrate the skin, reduce feelings of warmth, and promote recovery after exposure.

How to effectively protect yourself during a long day of surfing?

Pair appropriate sun protection, a Surf Hat, UV-protective clothing if necessary, and regularly reapply your protection.

Quelle protection solaire choisir pour un enfant ?

Privilégiez les vêtements protecteurs, un chapeau et l’ombre, puis une protection solaire SPF 50+ adaptée à son âge sur les zones découvertes. Respectez les indications du fabricant et renouvelez l’application régulièrement. Les bébés et les jeunes enfants ne doivent pas être exposés directement au soleil.

Quelle différence entre un après-soleil et une protection solaire ?

Une protection solaire avec SPF s’utilise avant et pendant l’exposition. Un après-soleil sert à prendre soin de la peau après l’exposition, selon sa formule. Il ne remplace pas la protection UV et ne répare pas les dommages du soleil. De même, un soin capillaire n’est pas automatiquement une protection solaire.
