Training through different seasons requires adjustments not only in your workout routine but also in your body and skin care regimen. From chafing in summer to cracked skin in winter, understanding how to protect and treat your body year-round is crucial for any athlete. Here’s a simple guide to help you adapt your care routine!
Summer workouts mean more sweat and higher chances of skin irritation. Use products like Squirrel's Nut Butter Anti-Chafe to prevent rubbing and discomfort during long training sessions.
Hot weather can lead to swollen, sweaty feet, increasing the risk of blisters. Keep your feet dry and comfortable with breathable socks and use an anti-blister balm such as BodyGlide Foot for additional protection.
Protecting your skin from UV rays is essential in summer. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen like LIFEJACKET Sun Gel SPF 50+ regularly, and consider wearing a hat or visor for face protection.
While less sweat might reduce chafing, the dry winter air can make your skin more susceptible to irritation. Continue using anti-chafe products, especially when layering clothing, to prevent any rubbing.
Winter cold can make your extremities vulnerable to frostbite during long sessions outdoors. Using gloves such as the 2XU Run Glove can help protect your hands from the cold and keep you comfortable during exercise.
As previously mentioned the cold can make your skin dry out. Using a moisturiser like LIFEJACKET Daily Repair Moisturiser can help soothe dry skin and repair skin that has been damaged.
Regular massage helps in maintaining muscle health and recovery. Utilize RockTape Rock Rub to alleviate tight spots and enhance circulation, which is beneficial regardless of the temperature.
Adequate recovery and managing pain are crucial throughout the year. Adapt your use of products like Nature’s Kiss Herbal Massage depending on the season’s demands and your body’s response to training stresses.
