Olivolea creams, ideal for athletes
The practice of sports, in addition to the physical effort and consistency it requires, involves certain aspects that can complicate or discomfort the activity, such as skin irritation in sensitive areas, the appearance of blisters, and sunburn.
The skin serves as the interface between the athlete and their environment, meaning that the health of this organ significantly affects overall well-being and athletic performance. Olivolea creams and gels, made with natural active ingredients and enriched with olivolein, protect the skin from external environmental factors, hydrate it, and maintain the dermis’s structural integrity, allowing for better regeneration and greater firmness.
Pre-existing conditions like acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis can, in some cases, worsen due to sweating and friction associated with many sports. Similarly, constant contact with certain materials, especially synthetics found in footwear or sportswear, can trigger allergic contact dermatitis.
Tightness, discomfort, itching, congestion, flaking, and redness—these issues make it highly advisable to use an intensive regenerative cream to restore the skin. Olivolea's Licotriz cream is highly effective, as it soothes and restores the lipid barrier, prevents the risk of infections, and helps normalize dry, dehydrated skin by stimulating the regeneration of damaged epidermal cells. Its soothing action, derived from natural active ingredients, also helps reduce erythema.
Personal hygiene, particularly foot hygiene, is essential for athletes. Given the frequency and risk of irritation, chafing, and friction-induced abrasions, it is recommended to use bath or shower products in liquid or gel form with an acidic pH similar to that of the skin.
Bath products should not be excessively detergent or lipid-stripping to avoid irritation or contact dermatitis. In addition to containing mild foaming agents, bath products should include emollient and soothing substances to counteract potential skin aggressions caused by surfactants and restore the lipid barrier.
In this regard, products made with olivolein, such as Olivolea's Shower Gel, can be used several times a day, as they not only cleanse the skin but also soften, hydrate, and prevent the tightness and itching that commonly follow physical activity.
Olivolea products are also highly suitable for athletes' skin, as they are easy to apply and leave no residue on the skin.
