Swim Proof Skin

 

 

If you swim regularly, you know the toll it takes on your skin. Dermasport is a new high-performance facial skincare line for swimmers with a four-step system designed to protect, support, and restore chlorine and sun damaged skin. Developed by board-certified dermatologist and avid swimmer Dr. Christopher Schmidt, Dermasport teamed up with five-time gold medalist Nathan Adrian and two-time medalist Elizabeth Beisel to raise awareness and education for proper skin protection for swimmers of all levels.

Dermasport’s unique Ageless Recovery Complex (ARC) combines a proprietary blend of powerful ingredients proven to support skin recovery, boost skin’s natural defenses, and prevent signs of aging due to extensive exposure to chlorine, salt, sweat and sun. Calming botanicals and powerful antioxidants combine to soothe and strengthen the skin’s natural defenses, with moisture boosting ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, chamomile flower, green tea leaf, and Vitamins A, C and E.

Dermasport’s complete system includes a clean SPF 50 mineral lotion with a hydrophobic barrier that protects up to 80 minutes in the water; a pH-balanced facial cleanser that gently removes chlorine, sunscreen, sweat, dirt, and makeup; an ultra-hydrating, lightweight facial moisturizer; and a powerful vitamin and peptide firming eye cream that helps undo goggle marks.

Unlike most swim skin care products you see in the locker room, Dermasport’s clean and modern packaging is designed will appeal to non-swimmers as well. Created for the most demanding conditions, the products are just as effective too.

Leave No Trace: Sheer Sun Protection

 

 

THE CLEAREST & SHEEREST MINERAL-BASED SUNSCREENS

When it comes to choosing sunscreen there are essentially two choices: mineral-based and chemical. By the names of the categories you can guess which one is better for your skin and the environment.

Mineral – aka natural sunscreens – are made with naturally occurring ingredients like zinc and titanium dioxides, recognized as “safe and effective” by the FDA. They sit on top of the skin like a protective barrier, as opposed to chemical sunscreens which are absorbed into skin. Chemical sunscreens often contain active ingredients shown to be toxic to the body and environment, and damaging to marine life and the coral reefs as well.

The zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in mineral sunscreens provide broad spectrum sun protection from both UVA and UVB rays, but the problem has traditionally been the chalky white residue they leave on the skin. This summer’s new class of mineral sunscreens rub in fast and clear, with the addition of skin hydrating, nourishing, and anti-aging plant based oils and natural ingredients.

Running, surfing, cycling, swimming… your favorite outdoor sports require the strongest, waterproof and sweat-proof protection. From drugstore to sport to boutique brands, these are 15 are our favorite mineral based sunscreens:

Francisco Costa Is Costa Brazil

 

 

When Francisco Costa left Calvin Klein in 2016, after 13 years as the Creative Director, it would not be another fashion house he would seek. This native of Brazil returned to his homeland and found himself deep within the rainforest of the Amazon — not on the luxury cruise he had originally planned with friends — but with an indigenous tribe called the Ywanawas. It was here by chance that his newest venture was born, Costa Brazil.

Costa Brazil is an all-natural skin care line — a blend of powerful ingredients, sourced from the Brazilian rainforest — that Costa discovered on that first trip and multiple visits since. At the core of the line are body oils that blend mineral-rich Kaya, antioxidant-packed Cacay, and the aromatic healing properties of Breu. While Costa Brazil bears Francisco’s name, it is Brazil that is at the heart of the brand, embodying the connection between beauty and nature that distinguishes the place from which he comes.

The products are an olfactory delight, the essence of which is a resin called Breu, revered for its sacred aromatherapy benefits. It was the first ingredient Costa discovered on his maiden trip to the Amazon, and became the inspiration for the line. The aroma is hard to describe. It is exotic, like a place you’ve never been but want to go… a jungle, forest, or other some natural wonderland where the scent is so fragrant it’s almost intoxicating, and makes you want to return again and again.
