Even though the incident was not at a life-threatening level for Thomas, it made him realize the significance of taking precautions to keep one’s skin safe from the damage the sun can cause. This was the inspiration behind JT’s new business venture WearSPF.

WearSPF is a skincare line created by Justin himself. The brand comprises a full range of sun care products. Justin talked about why he thought it was a necessary change, especially for athletes like golfers.

He said, “As a young athlete, I wish I had known to wear sunscreen all the time. I was lucky, we caught it early. Now I apply WearSPF and reapply every 2 hours.”
