How to choose the right sunscreen for sailing and fishing?

Choosing the right sunscreen for sailing and fishing involves considering various factors to ensure adequate protection against the sun´s harmful rays while withstanding water exposure. You can buy it from these brands: A derma, Avene, Babaria, and Bioderma. Here´s how to select an appropriate sunscreen for these activities:

Broad spectrum protection: Look for a sunscreen labeled as "broad spectrum," which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays cause sunburn, while UVA rays penetrate deeper, contributing to premature aging and skin cancer.
SPF level: Choose a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor SPF of 30 or higher. Higher SPF provides more protection against UVB rays. Consider reapplying every two hours, especially if sweating or swimming.
Water resistance: Opt for a water resistant sunscreen, ideally labeled as "water resistant" or "very water resistant." These formulations adhere better to the skin in wet conditions, providing better protection while fishing or sailing.
Non greasy and quick absorbing: Select sunscreens that are non greasy and quick absorbing to avoid a slippery or sticky feeling on your hands while handling fishing gear or rigging on a boat.
Non staining formula: Look for sunscreens that won´t stain or damage fishing lines, equipment, or boat surfaces. Avoid oily or greasy formulations that could leave residues on surfaces.
Sweat resistance: Consider sunscreens designed to withstand sweat, as activities like fishing or sailing can be physically demanding and lead to increased perspiration.
Sensitive skin formulations: If you have sensitive skin, choose sunscreens labeled as suitable for sensitive skin or formulated without fragrances, oils, or harsh chemicals that could cause irritation.
Reef safe sunscreen: For environmentally conscious anglers or sailors, consider reef safe sunscreens that do not contain oxybenzone or octinoxate, as these chemicals can be harmful to marine ecosystems.
Ease of application: Spray, lotion, or stick formulations offer different application methods. Choose the type that suits your preferences and makes reapplication easier while on the water.
UV protection for lips and face: Don´t forget to protect your lips and face with a sunscreen specifically designed for these areas or use lip balms and facial sunscreens with adequate SPF.
Long lasting formulas: Look for sunscreens that claim to have longer lasting effectiveness, especially when engaging in activities that involve water exposure or sweating. Some sunscreens may offer extended protection, reducing the frequency of reapplication.
Packaging and portability: Consider the packaging of the sunscreen for convenience. Travel sized or portable options are practical for keeping in your fishing tackle box or sailing gear, ensuring you have sunscreen readily available whenever needed.
Non slip grip: Some sunscreen formulations offer a non slip grip once applied, which can be beneficial when handling ropes, fishing rods, or other equipment.
Always apply sunscreen generously and evenly over exposed skin, including often missed areas like ears, neck, feet, and the back of the hands. Reapply as directed, especially after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.
