Golf season has officially teed off in Kitchener-Waterloo, and if you’re anything like the team at Elev8 Aesthetic Medicine—you’re already making the most of those sunny fairways.
Just this past weekend, the team was out at Whistlebear Golf Club, one of the most beautiful and popular courses in the area, and a favorite among our clients. It got us thinking: what if we shared a few easy ways to Elev8 your golf game—not with gear, but with wellness?
From skin protection to energy boosts, these simple, expert-backed tips will help you stay protected, hydrated, and glowing while you play.
⛳ Skin Care on the Course: Stay Glowing Under the Sun
1. SPF is Your MVP
Let’s start with the basics: sunscreen.
Reapplying SPF 30+ every 9 holes can help protect your skin from UV damage. We recommend a mineral-based sunscreen that sits on top of the skin and reflects the sun’s rays, especially zinc oxide or titanium dioxide formulas. They're less likely to clog pores and ideal for sensitive skin.
2. Don’t Forget Your Lips & Eyes
Your lips and eyes are ultra-sensitive and often neglected. Bring a lip balm with SPF and wear UV-blocking sunglasses to prevent premature wrinkles and dry, cracked lips.
Pro tip: polarized lenses reduce glare, especially helpful on water hazards or dewy greens.
3. Cool Down Post-Round
The sun can leave your skin dry or irritated after 18 holes. A refreshing aloe mist or hyaluronic acid spray can calm and hydrate your face, giving your skin a chance to recover and glow.
4. Age Gracefully (Even on the Course)
Oxidative stress from sun exposure can lead to wrinkles and dark spots. Using a Vitamin C serum in your morning routine helps neutralize free radicals and boosts your skin’s defense against environmental stress.

5. Hydrate Like a Pro
Golf can take 3–5 hours—and that’s a long time to be outdoors in the sun. Dehydration can sneak up quickly and affect both your performance and how you feel post-game.
Keep a refillable water bottle in your bag and consider adding electrolytes if you're sweating heavily or playing multiple rounds. Hydration is key!
6. Smart Snacks for Sustained Energy
Skip the cart beer and chips. Grab a banana, almonds, or a protein ball to maintain steady energy and avoid sugar crashes. Balanced nutrition = better focus, better swings, and more stamina on the back nine.
7. Breathe & Reset
Between shots or holes, take a moment to breathe deeply and reset. A few slow breaths helps reduce tension and keeps your mindset sharp. It’s not just mental—relaxation improves coordination and muscle control, too.
8. Don’t Skip Recovery
Golf is a full-body sport. Gentle stretching post-round helps prevent soreness, supports joint health, and encourages circulation. And yes, that includes your wrists and hips. Top it off with a good night’s sleep to reset your nervous system and repair your muscles.
🎯 Final Thoughts: Elev8 Your Game, Literally
You don’t need to be a pro golfer to treat your body and skin like you’re playing on tour. These small changes make a big difference—not just in your performance, but in how you look and feel when you step off the course.
