December 3, 2020

Whether you’re a professional athlete, a keep-fit fanatic or you just love the outdoors, doing the sports that you love can mean numerous skin irritations that can plague your delicate skin; from dryness and itchiness to chafing and sores. Our organic range of natural skin-soothing remedies has been designed to protect, repair and maintain your skin so you can get back to what you love doing. Full of natural and organic ingredients, our Balmy Fox skincare range offers calming solutions to get you back on track, whether you’re training for your next competition or just want to enjoy nature in your good old sturdy walking boots.

Preventing Chafing: Active Repetitive Motion through Sports

Let’s face it, any activity that involves repetition can cause or contribute to chafing, whether its friction with clothing or skin to skin contact. Hot weather, sweat, water, extra body weight, fabrics and ill-fitting clothing are all pre-curses to chafing. It can be especially common during cycling or long-distance running affecting problem areas such as the thighs, groin, and armpits. Prevention is always better than the cure, which is why we at Balmy Fox created our Anti-Chafe Cream. Incorporating highly concentrated natural oils such as Arnica, Hemp and Tea Tree oil that not only helps retain moisture but also aids your skin with their anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties. Simply apply On The Trail Anti-Chafe Cream liberally to the hot spot areas prior to activity, and you can kiss goodbye to chafing altogether.

Sports Athletes: Looking after your Skin

Your skin is probably the last thing you think about when focusing on the sports you love to pursue, but being outdoors means being regularly exposed to the elements, whether it’s the dry heat, icy cold winds, or the sun. And if it’s not the weather causing skin complaints, then sweating, friction, chlorine or salt water will undoubtedly play a hand. It’s therefore paramount to keep your skin in tip-top condition and give it the armour it needs with Balmy Fox’s On The Water Hand & Foot Cream. Incorporating a high concentration of glycerin to draw in and retain moisture, Arnica to relieve inflammation, and Tea Tree for its natural antiseptic, our Hand & Foot Cream is designed to work fast so you can get back to doing what you love best regardless of what mother nature has in store.

Soothing Relief for Active Muscles

As a sports athlete, your body takes a bit of a beating whether it’s through pounding the streets in your running shoes or climbing a rock face, and when you increase the intensity and put more effort into your activity, the muscle fibres and connective tissues encounter slight injuries. These, in turn, cause those delayed muscle aches and pains we’ve all experienced at one time or another. The same happens when starting a new sport or after a vigorous workout, and that’s why the brains at Balmy Fox developed the Muscle Rub Intensive range. Incorporating camphor, menthol and eucalyptus, this wonderfully fragrant rub provides the warming benefits and relieving tingly sensation that all tired muscles crave. Simply apply On The Slope Muscle Rub to those sore muscles, as and when required, for immediate, long-lasting, and soothing relief.

The Best Lip Balm for Sore Lips - Protect Your Lips

Other areas of your body will also suffer with exposure to the elements when training or competing, including your lips, nose and ears. Alongside our standard lip balm we also offer a no sting, water resistant SPF. This can also be used on other areas of the face and head.
