Outdoor athletes know that sweat, sun, and friction can make or break a workout. Whether you’re training for a marathon or pushing through a long bike ride, your skin takes a beating. The right skincare keeps you protected from start to finish.
The Sweat Factor
• Sweat dilutes and breaks down many chemical sunscreens
• Salt crystals increase the risk of irritation and chafing
• Heat + UV rays = amplified skin stress
Why Mineral Sunscreen Works Better
• Stays on the surface of skin instead of absorbing
• Less likely to drip into eyes while sweating
• Provides consistent coverage even under intense training
Chafing: The Athlete’s Nemesis
• Cyclists: inner thighs, saddle area
• Runners: underarms, nipples, waistband
• Preventable with proper protection
Building a Training-Day Routine
1. Apply mineral sunscreen before activity
2. Use anti-chafe balm on high-friction zones
3. Carry small reapplication products for long sessions
4. Cool down with gentle cleansing and recovery
