Why Cyclists Need More Than Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a must for anyone heading outdoors, but for cyclists, it’s only the starting line of real skin protection. Long hours in the saddle expose riders to punishing wind, sweat, pollution, and relentless friction—factors that ordinary sunscreen just can’t tackle alone. In this quick read, discover why hydration, chafing prevention, proper cleansing, and smart gear choices are essential for cyclists who want to go farther, recover faster, and keep their skin healthy ride after ride.

Cyclists are outdoors for hours, so UV rays, sweat, wind, and friction add up. Cycling exposes the skin to various environmental factors. Proper skincare can help prevent sunburn, windburn, chafing, and premature aging.
A solid routine: Broad-spectrum SPF (reapplied every two hours—especially on long rides).Moisturizing with a lightweight, non-greasy lotion keeps wind-exposed skin hydrated and fights dryness.
Chafing prevention: Apply anti-chafing formulas on thighs, groin, and underarms before every long ride.
Post-ride, clean with a gentle Maviox water less face wash to remove sunscreen, sweat, and pollution, then use a soothing moisturizer.
Use Maviox Anti-Chafe Cream for reliable friction defense in key areas. Post-ride, Maviox Waterless Face Wash eliminates grime and stickiness, ideal if you’re far from a shower or racing home.
