Mission Skincare is creating a line of products ranging from sunscreens and lip balms to anti-friction and foot creams. Their products are formulated by and for athletes. They even say they have created a new category, “high-performance, athlete-engineered skincare”. They teamed up with Serena Williams to create Serena Williams Active Daily Facial Cleanser. It’s a high-performance, foaming facial cleanser, moisturizer and makeup remover all in one. The formula includes Vitamin E, grape seed and tea leaf extract.The Amazon package even comes with two of their very popular Lip Balmers.
Here are some reviews by members of SparkPeople:
“I have been using Serena Williams’ Pomegranate Lip Balmer SPF 15. It was great in the sun and wind when we were hiking in the sand dunes this summer at Lake Michigan. Lips stayed moist and with the SPF they were well protected from the sun. It isn’t heavy or overly greasy but does stay on while drinking both hot drinks like coffee or tea as well as cold drinks like water or diet soda.”
“I have the lip balm in mint and sweet vanilla. They are both SPF 15. I like both of them–they seem to last, feel smooth and the scent is nice without being nauseating. Since they are paraben free, I let my daughter put them on once in a while when we are going to be out in the sun.”
“I ordered the MISSION product line at the end of June. They arrived within a week of placing my order and were wrapped very nicely in silver tissue with a few extras lip balms thrown in. I love the lip balm. Not only does it not have the waxy feel of other lip balms, but it keeps my lips from getting chapped or sunburned, especially running in the Texas sun and heat.”
“My four all-time favorite products are the Fast-Drying Sunscreen SPF 30+ Spray, High-Performance Anti-Friction Cream, Ultra-Soothing After-Sun Revive Gel and High-Performance Foot Synergy Gel. As a runner preparing for my first marathon, it wasn’t uncommon for me to develop blisters on my feet especially during my long, slow distance runs, that was until I started using the Anti-Friction Cream. In the past I have tried Body Glide and Band-Aid’s Blister Block, well-known to most runners in helping keep blisters and chafing at bay, but that was not the case with me. I had to go out of my way to buy Body Glide at my local running store and it did not live up to its name. I am proud to say I have run over 5 runs of 10 miles or greater totally blister-free since I started using the Anti-Friction Cream. I like that a little goes a long way and it isn’t greasy and scented.”
A new wrinkle in moisturizing has come to light, as it were. Candles, which are so very popular for mood setting and relaxation, have taken a second job. These candles are predominately made of soy and are designed to be used once they liquify as skin moisturizer. Soy can be an excellent moisturizer.
