Athletes are experts when it comes to taking care of their bodies. Their disciplined exercise habits yield a robust cardiovascular and respiratory system, strong muscles, decreased body fat, and much more. The downside is that exercise exposes the outside layers to tough conditions—creating personal care needs that are unique to active lifestyles. Because of this, athletes need to pay more attention to their skin and hair.
Athletes put their bodies through a host of damage-causing conditions on a daily basis. Some of these conditions include:
	Multiple daily showers,
	Cold weather,
	Sun and hot weather,
	Chlorine,
	Friction,
	Foot pounding, and
	Excess sweating.
The effects of these conditions include chapping, blistering, cracking, dryness, soreness, and more. Athletes must choose products that understand these problems and allow them to focus on prevention, maintenance, recovery, and repair.
