Marathon running is a test of endurance, not just for your body, but for your skin too. Let's tackle the three most common skin issues marathon runners face and how Skinfuel can help you overcome them.
1. Chafing: The Runner's Nemesis
Chafing occurs when skin rubs against skin or clothing, causing irritation and sometimes painful abrasions.
Prevention and Treatment:
- Wear moisture-wicking, well-fitting clothing
- Apply a barrier cream to prone areas before running
- Post-run, soothe affected areas with Skinfuel's Performance Tallow Cream
- Its rich, nourishing formula helps repair and protect irritated skin
- Natural anti-inflammatory properties can reduce redness and discomfort
2. Runner's Acne: When Sweat Meets Skin
Long runs can lead to excess sweating, which, combined with bacteria and dead skin cells, can cause breakouts.
Prevention and Treatment:
- Cleanse face immediately after running
- Use Skinfuel's 10% Niacinamide Serum daily
- Regulates oil production to prevent clogged pores
- Has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce existing breakouts
- Improves overall skin texture for clearer, healthier-looking skin
3. Sunburn: The Silent Skin Damager
Marathon training means hours in the sun, increasing the risk of sunburn and long-term UV damage.
Prevention and Treatment:
- Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen before outdoor runs
- Use Skinfuel's Vitamin C Serum daily
- Provides antioxidant protection against UV damage
- Helps fade existing sun spots and evens out skin tone
- Boosts the efficacy of your sunscreen for enhanced protection
Post-Sun Care:
- Apply Skinfuel's Performance Tallow Cream to soothe and nourish sun-exposed skin

- Deeply hydrates to counteract sun-induced dryness
