Sports sun sticks are formulated with a perspiration-resistant composition, ensuring long-lasting protection even during exercise.
Finally, water sports enthusiasts will be delighted to discover the sun sticks specifically recommended for water sports, which guarantee high protection against UVA and UVB rays, even when regularly immersed in salt water.
Application: in a few simple steps
Using your sun stick couldn’t be easier! Here’s a quick guide to simple, effective application:
- Keep the stick closed and rotate the base until enough product appears at the top.
- Apply the stick directly to the area to be protected. We recommend pressing the stick lightly against the skin, and applying several times to cover the area thoroughly.
- Then spread gently with fingertips, using small circular movements. It’s important to be meticulous and to melt the product thoroughly for optimal treatment.
Remember that sun protection should be applied at least 30 minutes before exposure, and renewed every 2 hours and after every swim or intense physical activity.
Families and children: specific issues to consider
Children’s needs in terms of sun protection are particularly important, as their sun capital is limited. It is estimated that a large proportion of our total exposure to UV rays occurs before the age of 20. Sun sticks are the ideal solution for providing effective protection for your child, while at the same time giving him or her a fun way to come into contact with the skin care product.
- First-time use: always check the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended minimum age for use of its products.
- Flexible application: get your child to actively participate in applying the product by holding the stick himself, and teach him the importance of protecting himself from the sun from an early age.
- Product selection: we recommend hypoallergenic, paraben-free and alcohol-free formulas for sensitive skin.
A small, ecological and economical format
As well as being practical, sun sticks are also an environmentally-friendly alternative thanks to their compact packaging. Requiring only a limited amount of energy to manufacture, they generate less waste than conventional tubes or sprays.
In terms of economy, it’s not unusual to find that a stick can last longer than other products, thanks to its concentration of protective active ingredients. In fact, one stick will generally be equivalent to several applications on the face, neck and décolleté areas, or even the hands, depending on how it is used.
