Sam Billings - England and Kent wicket keeper and batter

“This is such an important partnership that's close to my heart. We are in the sun most days and I think anybody associated with cricket can benefit.

When it comes to skin damage you never think you're going to be ‘the guy’. I'd been pretty naïve around skin care at times and in November, had two operations on my chest to remove a melanoma and it became very real

It is absolutely paramount to protect yourself and I look forward to supporting LifeJacket Skin Protection and the Professional Cricketers' Association to create awareness around the domestic system, club cricket and supporters.”

Common questions

What SPF do I need for cricket?

For match days and long sessions in strong sun, choose SPF 50+ to give yourself a better safety margin outdoors. A broad-spectrum SPF 50, designed to protect against UVA and UVB rays, is ideal for cricket due to long hours in the sun. LifeJacket’s non-greasy, sweat-resistant sun protection won’t affect grip. Use SPF 30 as your daily minimum.

How should I care for my skin when playing cricket?

It's important to focus on protecting your skin year-round as UV rays reach the earth even in Winter. When outdoors, we recommend using a high SPF, protect yourself with UPF clothing, and reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours. It's also important to take care of your skin every day, not just when you're outdoors. After cricket, use a repair moisturiser to support the skin barrier.

Do you offer sun protection with moisturiser?

Yes, our SPF 30 Daily Protection Moisturiser gives lightweight, non-greasy UV protection that works for daily use and training.

How often should I apply sunscreen?

Apply 20 minutes before playing. Use top-ups when sweating or spending long periods in direct sun. A mineral stick is ideal for quick reapplication mid-game.

What makes LifeJacket special?
