Pierre Meslet - Ultrarunner, Marathon des Sables winner and Team GB osteopath

"I spends hours outdoors every week training. For me, LifeJacket's skin protection products represent a proactive approach to the dangers of UV light. My racing calendar sees me running in hot and sunny destinations where I often chose to wear UPF clothing to get the best sun protection possible. I also recently discovered the bar products and love using them daily in the shower."

Common questions

Do runners need extra sun protection?

Yes! Runners can spend long periods outdoors, often in peak UV hours. LifeJacket’s non-greasy, sweat-resistant, quick-drying SPF formulas are ideal for runners.

Do I need to wear SPF year round?

Harmful UV rays still reach the earth, even in Winter and on cloudy days. That means your skin is exposed to UV radiation year round, not just when it's sunny outside. It's important to wear daily SPF to protect your skin in every season.

How long does SPF last?

SPF effectiveness lasts around 2 hours before needing reapplication, especially if you're sweating. Don't forget to apply to often forgotten areas like your ears, neck and lips, spots where runners often burn.

Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes! LifeJacket’s products are dermatologically tested and clinically approved for sensitive skin.
