Why do we need a specially designed sports Moisturiser?
Hello, I’m Alison Brodie and I developed Recovery Phase Rehydration Cream to tackle the problems that I was having with my skin post exercise. I found that my skin was sore and stinging due to the salts and sweat sitting on my skin. That it was suffering with moisture loss, leaving dry patches on most exposed and rubbed areas; such as between my eyes and around my mouth. Despite all of the health benefits of better circulation and toxin removal, exercise was not leaving my skin in the best condition.
So what happens to you complexion when exercising?
One obvious sign is that you get heat stressors, it goes red, and sweats trying to cool itself down. Sweat is more acidic than your skins natural pH. Recovery Phase is pH balance to restore your skins correct pH 5.5. It contains Aloe Vera and Cucumber extracts to cool and sooth your skin. Recovery phase is also designed to be really hydrating restoring and maintaining your skins moisture levels.
The complexion is also under oxidative stress. When you do exercise you increase your metabolic rate. A natural by-product of metabolism is the creation of free radicals (highly reactive molecules which can damage your skins DNA) so; if you exercise you should use a moisturiser that is packed with antioxidants to mop up those damaging free radicals. Recovery Phase contains a high level of antioxidants including Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Gingko Biloba and Panthenol Pro Vitamin B5.
What else makes Recovery Phase so good?
Everything added when designing this moisturiser has an exercise related purpose and is good for your skin. It has additional vitamins C, E & B5.

Caroline – 8th Ironman Austria in 2012
‘I am a keen triathlete and this product helps to combat the dry skin that is a part of the training day. I also have very sensitive skin and can have adverse reactions to lots of products. Recovery phase is great because it is natural and unscented, so it doesn’t cause any reactions. I love it.’
