Golf – Skin cancer – Yes the risk is high!

Golf – Skin Cancer: What is the risk?

According to a study made by BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine in Austrialia, the relative risk of skin cancer was 2.42 times higher among golf participants than the general population.  If you play 18 holes, you will be out on the field 3-4 hours at least. If you do this often, your skin can suffer if you dont protect it.

Should golfers wear sunscreen?

Yes, it is important to stay protected on and off the golf course. Golfing is an intense outdoor activity where you are exposed to the sun almost 100% of the time. Even when it is cloudy or raining, the sun is still emitting harmful UV rays. Shield your skin with Daily Defence Day Cream SPF 50 while you enjoy your game of golf comfortably.

How to protect your skin at the golf course?

  • Apply Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen: Use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and reapply every 2 hours.
  • Wear Protective Clothing: Opt for long sleeves, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-protective clothing.
  • Use Sunglasses: Protect your eyes and the delicate skin around them with UV-blocking sunglasses.
  • Seek Shade: Take breaks in shaded areas whenever possible to minimise direct sun exposure.
  • Hydrate Regularly: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and maintain overall health.
  • Avoid Peak Sun Hours: Try to schedule your golf games early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the strongest UV rays.

Remember, you have to reapply your sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours.

Yes, even on the golf course. Don’t miss this crucial step to get healthier-looking skin. Our Daily Defence Day Cream SPF 50 is designed to provide broad-spectrum protection, ensuring your skin is shielded from both UVA and UVB rays. We added Sea Buckthorn as a key ingredient in our day cream, because It is also known to help repair and protect the skin from damage, promoting a radiant complexion while improving elasticity. Applying it generously before you start and reapplying throughout the day can help prevent sunburn and reduce the risk of long-term sun damage.

As skin therapists, we emphasise the importance of incorporating sun protection into your routine, especially during outdoor activities like golfing. Prioritise your skin’s health while enjoying your time on the green, and make sure you’re always covered with effective sun protection. Your skin will thank you for it!
