Signs Your Junior Golfer Needs Better Sun Protection (And What You Can Do About It)

If your daughter loves golf, she’s likely spending hours under the sun—sometimes without you there to remind her about sunscreen. As a parent, your instinct is to protect her health, and that includes her skin. But how do you know if her current sun routine is really working?

Here are 4 warning signs that your junior golfer may need better sun protection—and how a simple change like UV-protective arm sleeves can make a big difference.

1. She Comes Home with Red Arms or Nose

Even a light pink tint is a sign of sun damage. Sensitive skin in kids is highly vulnerable to UV rays—especially during golf tournaments when they’re outside for 4–6 hours.

Solution: Add physical barriers like UPF 50+ sleeves that block 98% of UV rays—no reapplication needed.


2. She Hates Reapplying Sunscreen

Let’s face it—most kids forget or avoid sunscreen after the first round. And once it wears off from sweat, she’s no longer protected.

Solution: Arm sleeves offer constant protection, even during sweaty, sunny rounds.


3. You’ve Noticed Skin Irritation or Breakouts

Some sunscreens cause irritation—especially on sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

Solution: Our sleeves are soft, breathable, and gentle on sensitive skin—perfect for young athletes.


4. Her Coach Mentions She’s Squinting or Fatigued

UV overexposure can lead to headaches, fatigue, and decreased performance. It’s not just about sunburn—it affects how she plays.


Final Tip for Moms:
The best sun protection is simple, effective, and doesn’t rely on your child remembering to reapply. Arm sleeves are one of the easiest upgrades you can make to her gear.
