Skin + Me x realbuzz: Top 3 Skincare Tips for Runners

Skin + Me

You’ve got your running playlist, your route mapped out, and your shoes laced tight - but what about your skincare routine?

Whether you're clocking up miles on busy streets or chasing views through the countryside, your skin is in it for the long run - literally. But sun, sweat, and wind can take their toll. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Skin + Me to bring you the top 3 skincare tips every runner needs to know - powered by science, and designed to go the distance.

 

🥇SPF Every. Single. Day. (No excuses)

Runners, meet your new training partner: the Skin + Me Daily Moisturiser with SPF 50.

UV rays are no joke - they’re responsible for 86% of skin cancers and up to 80% of visible ageing. Yet most people don’t apply enough sunscreen (a shocking 91% of us under-apply!), and when SPF 50 isn’t used properly, it can drop to SPF 5 protection. 

That’s why Skin + Me created the world’s first moisturiser that dispenses a dermatologist-designed dose of SPF 50 - no guesswork, just protection that actually works.

It hydrates, shields, and supports your skin barrier every day, even when you’re clocking those PB’s or sweating it out in the sun. Plus, it’s fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and layers invisibly under your running gear or makeup.

Glow tip: Choose from three formulas tailored to your skin type (dry, oily, or sensitive) so you never have to compromise between hydration and protection

🥈Hydrate Like You Mean It

Just like you wouldn’t skip your water bottle on a long run, don’t skip moisturiser. Sweat, wind, and sun can strip your skin of hydration, leaving it tight & dry.

The Skin+Me moisturiser isn’t just sun protection, it’s deep hydration and skin support in one silky formula. With hero ingredients like:

  • 2% Ectoin for long-lasting hydration and 360° protection

  • 0.2% Carnosine to fight free radicals and premature ageing

  • 1.5% Rainbow Algae Extract to brighten and even skin tone

Whatever your skin type - dry, oily, or sensitive - they have a formula that works for you.


🥉Treat while you sleep

Running does wonders for your body but it also causes micro-stress to your skin. That’s where the Dynamic Duo comes in: the Daily Moisturiser with SPF 50 protects by day, while the personalised Daily Doser repairs by night.

Together, they work round-the-clock to repair your skin barrier, reverse UV damage, and keep your skin glowing (even if you didn’t quite hit that PB today, your skin will).
