Why non-greasy sunscreen matters on the course
Greasy sunscreen can transfer onto hands, gloves, clubs, hats, and sunglasses. A fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula helps you stay protected without feeling sticky or distracted during your round.
Try Non-Greasy SPF 50
How often should golfers reapply sunscreen?
Reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours, and more often when sweating or wiping your skin. For golf, don’t forget high-exposure areas like the face, ears, neck, arms, hands, and legs.
