Water Sports Skin Rashes: Don’t Let Them Control You

  • August 16, 2021
Balmy Fox on the Water Skincare Organic
If you’re an avid water sports athlete or simply just enjoy the water, then you’ll be well aware of the effects prolonged water contact together with repetitive motion has on your skin. But why should you let your skin dictate when you can enjoy your sporting love. Whether you’re a surfer, swimmer, water-skier, or scuba diver, don’t let annoying skin rashes stop you from doing what you love to do! Balmy Fox has put their water-loving brains into action, diving into just a few types of rashes that water sports athletes face and what you can do to help.

Wetsuit Rash - What's the Best Wetsuit Rash Cream

If your love of water sports involves wearing a wetsuit, then you’ll already be on unfriendly terms with wetsuit rash. Ultimately very annoying, wetsuit rash evolves through repetitive movement and the friction this causes between your skin and the wetsuit.
Balmy Fox ” On the Water Anti-Chafe Cream” has a high proportion of natural oils and waxes to prevent and relieve wetsuit rash.

Surf / Board Rash

Surf rash develops through the repetitive movements between your wetsuit, your skin and the board. If you’ve noticed surf rash appearing more on the neck, stomach and inner thigh areas, it’s because those particular areas are in constant contact with the surfboard, ultimately making them problematic zones for surf rash to develop.

Neoprene Rash

Water sports athletes often complain of skin reactions to neoprene, believing it’s an allergic reaction, and whilst this may be the case for some, the most likely cause of your rash is all thanks to the salt water and sand particles that get trapped between your skin and the under-surface of your wetsuit. The repetitive movements cause friction which aggravates the skin surface causing what is commonly known as neoprene rash.

So, what's the answer? - The Best Surfers Rash Cream

Balmy Fox, we hear you say, and you’d be totes correct. We’ve formulated the perfect multitasker that not only soothes and helps repair the problem areas but will also act as a barrier to help mitigate these types of rashes in the first place, so win-win all around! Our ‘On the Water Anti-Chafe Cream‘ is full of natural oils to help retain moisture and prevent chafing from developing. However, if your skin is already showing signs of rash, we’ve thought about that too and included Arnica to naturally provide relief to these inflamed areas and nature’s antiseptic, Tea Tree, to help prevent any cuts or chafing from becoming infected. Within a couple of days, your skin will not only improve, but it’ll be thanking you for investing. 

 

Free of parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, and other nasty chemicals, Balmy Fox is the ideal natural skincare range to not only resolve your skin complaints but help prevent skin issues from developing. Containing 80% organic natural ingredients, you’ll also be helping the environment simultaneously, which we know is super important to you sporty water types! So, don’t let pesky skin rashes stop you from pursuing the water sports you love. Invest in Balmy Fox for natural skin protection and relief, put your faith in our On the Water Anti-Chafe Cream, and sink those niggling rashes for good!
