It is a new year and with that comes the new year, new me blah blah where you might go to the gym for a month and then stop going or pick up that new diet from four years ago that you once started.
But even if
you have given up on the new year, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on
your skin and even more so if you are carrying on with the gym, we think about
our bodies but tend to forget about our largest organ, that being our skin.
If you hit
it hard at the gym your skin reacts just as much as your muscles do and the
skin needs revitalization just as much as your biceps and triceps, using body
oils are a great way to nourish your skin and maintain moist within it.
After that post-gym shower is the key moment to do something about it and to do it the right way, choosing skincare products can be a bit overwhelming even more so if you haven't really thought about them in the sense of the gym and how they can make a difference to your recovery, this Energizing body oil from Dr Hauschka contains birch leaves
arnica, burdock root, nettle and sunflower oil to give your skin that
refreshing kick your skin needs after a strenuous workout, the oil contains jojoba
oil to help maintain and balance moisture and softness within the skin, while
soothing tired muscles and stiff limbs after them overload sets on the squat
rack.
I am not
the biggest fan of oils as I have fairly oily skin naturally but this absorbs
into the skin rather well, I would, like with any oil not chuck your clothing
on straight after applying it, leave it to soak in for a good 10mins and let your
skin breathe.
The formulation
is just as unique as the product itself, the combine of the ingredients rhythmic
processing methods, during the phase the mixtures are heated to 37degrees (body
temperature. The base product is carefully mixed in the mornings and evening to
allow all of the extracts to transfer to the oil, making it a pure and rich
oil.
The best
time to use the oil is after showering or bathing to help seal in moisture and
prevent drying, this oil can also be used as a heated oil for massaging, even
more so for sport-related massages. The bottle is made of glass so it's not ideal
to throw in your gym bag, but I just transfer some of it into a small reusable
bottle and take that instead.
