11 Sunscreens That'll Last Through Even the Toughest Outdoor Workout

Aug 4 2018 by Florie Mwanza

Due to how harmful the sun's rays can be — whether it's hot, cold, sunny, or cloudy — it's important to make sun protection part of your daily routine, even when we're not in the middle of a heatwave. The fact that there's a sunscreen to suit every skin type means you really have no excuse not to do so.

If you plan on dedicating yourself to gruelling outdoor workouts, sunscreen should become as much a part of your preparation as lacing up your trainers or arming up. Before you next hit the trail for a hike or head to the park for a HIIT session, invest in one of these 11 sunscreens that were made to protect you, whatever the weather.
