Whether you’re hitting up the 9-hole par 3 course on a sunny Sunday or gearing up for a major championships, skincare for golfers is just as important part of pre-round preparation as sinking a few gimmies on the putting green.
You’ll be on top of your game when you have the most focus and fewest distractions. Not taking care of your skin can lead to irritating issues, discomfort, and a bit of a hit to your confidence too - especially if the cameras are on you!
Here’s what a pro round of skincare looks like for golfers everywhere.

1. Don’t start the day with a skincare handicap - cleanse before anything else
You’ve just woken up, got out of the shower and are ready to head down to the course. But before you apply anything to your face, we need to make sure the skin you’re applying other solutions to is clean of excess oil, dirt and other pollutants.
Our foaming cleanser is where you should start. A quick dollop of cleansing foam into your palms and onto your face will tackle the dirt and impurities without stripping your skin.
2. Hydrate with our daily moisturiser
Sun exposure, sweat, wiping away that sweat, touching your face with dirty hands… your skin is going to start feeling like sandpaper if you don’t take care of it.
Our daily moisturiser is specifically designed for athletes. Excess sweat? No problem. Dry heat? Hold our nine-iron. No problem at all.
GQ’s men’s health editor uses it specifically after he goes for a run - it’s good stuff.
3. SPF protect
As skincare for golfers goes, this one is more important than any mental tweak you made to your backswing in the last 30 minutes.
Golfers are almost unique in how much time they spend outdoors competing, and how much sun and high-energy UV rays they’re being bombarded with every minute they’re out there competing.
You HAVE to protect your skin - and a simple sponsor-ladened cap ain’t gonna cut it.
Our SPF30 face and body cream is tailor made for this. It nourishes the skin and provides all-day defence, even in the height of the sun and most intense shots of the day.
Less sun damage, redness, premature ageing and, critically, reduced risk of skin cancer too.
Don’t skip this step - it’s really important.
4. Recover from the round with Vitamin C
You’ve finished your round, you’ve made your handicap (or maybe you found the bunker with every iron, who cares, it’s better than the office), and your skin will be feeling as tired as your muscles are.
First, cleanse away the sweat and struggle for your round and return your skin to a blank, clean canvas. Then, reach for the vitamin C serum.
Vitamin C is your secret little weapon in the fight against skin damage and ageing. It actively repairs the skin, brightens your skin tone so you look more awake, and protects against environmental stressors too. Our Vitamin C Serum smells amazing too - all our Buff Athletes comment on it. Rub a bit in to clean skin and you’ll look and feel refreshed, even if your feet feel like they’re about to fall off.
5. Bright-eyed, ready for the cameras
Now this is a little something extra, if you really want to take your skincare game up a notch and go the whole 500 yards.
A little bit of calming eye cream as you leave the locker room and head back to the clubhouse will calm your under-eyes and deliver instant coolness and refreshment. All that squinting through the sun, focus, dabbing the sweat around your eyes too - it causes irrituation and puffiness. That fatigue you’re feeling can cause those dark, tired circles to start getting deeper too.
Our calming eye cream deals with all of that, and even if you’re feeling especially weary after a long day on the course, to the rest of the world, you’re going to look alert, alive, and ready for the next round tomorrow afternoon.
Bonus: High-tech skincare to reduce inflammation and ageing
If you’re out on the course often, especially if you’re a pro and it’s your job (shoutout to caddies too by the way, this is all relevant to you as well!), then even the best-intentioned skincare routine isn’t going to reverse some of the skin damage you will inevitably experience over the years.
To really fight skin stress, chronic skin fatigue and dehydration and reverse the signs of ageing, you need to combat inflammation.
That’s where SkinTech like our LED Face Mask comes in.
This one powerhouse product utilises LED light therapy which is shown to fight blemish-causing bacteria, promote collagen production to fight ageing, reduce inflammation, and promote a more radiant complexion.
T3 Magazine tried it for two months and noticed a huge difference after just six wears. In one month, wrinkles even started to shrink.
