Running on the beach offers a unique and invigorating experience, but it also presents specific challenges for your skin. Here's how to protect and nourish your skin while enjoying those seaside runs.
Beach Running Skin Challenges
- Intense UV exposure: Sunlight reflects off sand and water, increasing UV intensity
- Salt water spray: Can dry out and irritate skin
- Sand abrasion: Fine sand can cause micro-abrasions and irritation
- Increased sweating: Due to humidity and exertion
