How do you look after your skin in and around water?

Salt, chlorine, cold and sun all strip and irritate skin, and a wetsuit adds friction on top. The basics are a mineral sunscreen that stays put when you are wet, a barrier balm on the neck and underarms before you pull the suit on, and something rich to put back afterwards what the water has taken out. Reef-safe matters too — non-nano zinc oxide does the job without the chemicals linked to coral bleaching. Below you will find advice for swimmers, surfers, sailors, paddlers, and anyone who spends their weekends wet.
