Sunscreen matters whenever your skin is exposed to sunlight, whether you're on holiday, playing sport or spending time outdoors in winter. Our range covers sun protection for both face and body, so you can protect your skin on days with strong sun, wind and reflected light.
Even in Ireland, UV levels can be high enough to damage your skin from spring to early autumn, including on cloudy days.
The sun can feel milder in cool weather, but UV rays can still affect your skin. Snow and water reflect sunlight, and UV radiation gets stronger the higher you go. That makes sunscreen just as relevant on a ski holiday as on a beach holiday, a hike or an active day outdoors.
When you choose sunscreen, look at the SPF, where you'll use it and your skin type. A light texture is practical for the face, while the body usually needs a larger amount of product. Our Derma range covers most needs:
Most people use too little. Apply sunscreen generously before you go out, and reapply regularly, especially after swimming, sweating or towelling off. Don't forget ears, neck, the tops of your feet and the backs of your hands.
Sunscreen works best together with shade and clothing. A cap or sun hat protects your face and neck, and sports sunglasses or kids' sunglasses protect your eyes. Pack a small bottle with the rest of your travel accessories. At Skisport you get our price guarantee and a 14-day right of return.
