Active Skin

Chafing. What a terrible word. For athletes, it's in the top of their vocabulary. For many of us, it comes up in the hot summer months when we are innocently trying to walk quickly in our mini. 

Serena Williams launched Mission, her own athlete engineered skin care line this past summer. Being an amazing athlete, she knew a thing or two on what the active woman needs. One of the products in this ensemble is Anti-Friction Cream. I tested it out at the gym on the treadmill. Prior to hopping on, I applied the cream to my inner thighs, put on my jogging shorts and away I went. Chafing was brought to an almost complete halt. Not only will the gem remain in my gym bag, it will follow me through out next summer!



Mission has several other products as well: Foot Cream, After-Sun reviver, Lip Balms etc...





I also have been using the Active Daily Cleanser this week. The Sweet Citrus scent is just enough to wake me up in the morning (OK that's a lie, but it definitely sped up the wake up process before my coffee). The paraben-free cleanser is self foaming and as it hydrates the skin, it also conditions with vitamins & antioxidants. You don't even have to scrub it in with your hands! It foams up all by itself....hence self-foaming.




Mission products are available at select specialty sporting goods retailers, Mission.com, and HSN.com.
