Are you pushing your body hard?
Football on Sunday, a long run on Tuesday, shifts that keep you on your feet, or a job that involves a lot of lifting: muscles and joints take the strain, and so does the skin above them. Sometimes what you want afterwards is not warmth but a cool, fresh feeling. That is what the MSM Body Gel is for.
The gel is light and absorbs quickly, with 60% aloe vera at its base. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane, a sulphur compound) is the ingredient that gives the gel its name. Bearberry leaf extract combines skin protection with a calming effect, and willow bark extract, according to LR, reduces skin redness and irritation, supports the skin’s regeneration and eases the feeling of tension. Sodium hyaluronate adds moisture. The overall effect is cooling, soothing and refreshing, with skin that feels firmer and more elastic.
It is the cool counterpart to the warming Thermo Lotion, and many people keep both: warm for relaxing in the evening, cool for straight after exercise.
