Too many active people don’t like talking about the consequences of their sports. If you’ve ever suffered from chafing, saddle sores or runner’s rash, you’ll know what we mean.
Fast Legs (www.fastlegs.cc), a new range of quality Australian-made skincare products, is designed to protect and care for sportspeople’s most sensitive skin before and during sport, and help it repair afterwards. It’s redefining how sportspeople and adventurers can care for their skin even in the harshest environments and the toughest sports.
From helping to prevent and repair skin irritation, saddle sores, runner’s rash and chafing, to renewing the vitality and verve to sun and wind-exposed faces and bodies, Fast Legs addresses the exacting and challenging skincare needs of adventurers, athletes and sportspeople.
All products are Australian made, are tested on active people (not animals), and are free of parabens and sulphates.
The products have already received many five-star reviews from female and male customers. They focus on effectiveness, quality and local manufacturing and include:
- Anti-Chafing and Chamois Cream (RRP$29): Formulated to prevent chafing and irritation on the body’s most sensitive skin. Perfect for runners, cyclists, triathletes and anyone prone to skin irritation from repetitive motion. The pump canister means no more double dipping!
- Anti-Bacterial Body Wash (RRP$29): This highly effective and unique body wash was a year in development. It not only cleans but also protects against bacteria and infections using natural ingredients. Ideal for use after training, outdoor activities, exploring and racing.
- Face Clean ($39): A gentle yet effective cleanser that removes dust and dirt, sweat, sunscreen and environmental pollutants. Ensures your face remains fresh and healthy. It’s clinical quality so it’s also great for removing makeup!
- Recovery Face Gel (RRP $39): Designed to put the verve back into your face after exposure to the elements. Vitamin enriched, it heals and refreshes your face and other areas. You’ll look as good as your Strava stats say you are!
- Also in the range: Daily Moisturiser (for body and face); Daily Eye Cream; Daily Moisturiser with SPF15; and a range of sunscreens.
Fast Legs co-founder Katie Whiffen says: “As someone who has very sensitive skin, I was shocked to find out that many of my active, sporty female and male friends don’t really know how to look after their skin or think it’s too difficult.
“They are especially uncomfortable talking about the discomfort and pain they often experience with the areas between their legs. Failing to deal with it just leads to chronic conditions or needing to reduce their activity levels.
“Even faces pose a skincare challenge. We found out that after a long ride, most men wash their faces using shampoo or cheap bar soap. This may remove some road or trail grime, but it also causes irritation and dryness.
“We believe that everyone, regardless of their sport or activity level, deserves skincare that works as hard as they do. So we spent several years developing our own products.
“The Fast Legs range provides adventurers and athletes with high-quality skincare solutions that help them perform at their best, while protecting their skin and recovering afterwards.
“We are also conscious of cost-of-living pressures. That’s why a little goes a long way with our products.”
