Sportskn: How to Support Your Skin When You’re Moving More This Year

How to Support Your Skin When You’re Moving More This Year

January is the month of fresh starts – new gym memberships, fitness challenges and ambitious routines like 75 Hard or marathon training plans. While increased movement has incredible effects for your body and mind, it can take an unexpected toll on your skin. Sweat, friction, frequent showering, outdoor exposure and disrupted recovery routines can all compromise the skin barrier if you’re not supporting it properly.

Think of skin recovery the same way you think of muscle recovery: it’s not about doing more, but doing what’s right. Here’s how to protect, restore, and strengthen your skin as you step into a more active year with Sportskn:

Cleanse Gently – Especially After Workouts:

Post-workout cleansing is essential, but over-cleansing is one of the biggest mistakes active people make. Harsh foaming washes and antibacterial formulas can strip the skin, leading to dryness, breakouts, and irritation – especially if you’re showering more than once a day.

Sportskn High Performance Shower Gel and its naturally anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties deliver an effective cleanse without stripping the skin, leaving it refreshed and supported as part of a consistent daily routine.

Rebuild the Skin Barrier with Targeted Hydration:

After you’ve cooled down and showered, your skin is in recovery mode. Heat, sweat, and friction can leave it dehydrated, sensitized, or inflamed – especially after intense training or extended workouts. This is the moment to reach for a product that does more than moisturize – Sportskn Skin Recovery Gel.

Formulated with aloe vera, eucalyptus, and 18 other all-natural botanical ingredients, this lightweight recovery gel helps calm stressed skin while supporting efficient post-exercise recovery. The gel-based lotion absorbs quickly, delivering hydration without heaviness – making it ideal for use on both aching muscles and overheated skin.

Energize and Refine with a Gentle Face Scrub:

With increased exercise comes more sweat, buildup, and friction – all of which can dull the skin over time. A gentle exfoliation step helps remove dead skin cells, support natural renewal, and keep skin looking fresh without compromising hydration. Sportskn Coffee Face Scrub provides a gentle yet stimulating exfoliation that awakens the skin and boosts radiance. Finely ground coffee paired with an energizing blend of lavender, citrus and eucalyptus essential oils refreshes the senses, while coconut, sesame, and sweet almond oils nourish and soften the skin.

Sportskn Sugar Face Scrub combines sugar and rice starch to exfoliate effectively yet delicately, promoting a smoother, brighter appearance. Enriched with aloe vera, allantoin, and hyaluronic acid, the formula helps keep skin hydrated, calm, and comfortable.
