When I went to Be:Fit London a few months ago, I was on a mission! I was on the lookout for some unique and interesting brands to work with and to introduce on my fitness blog.
Today I would like to draw your attention to activbod, who have sent me a few products to review after chatting to them at the expo.
As a busy mama who loves keeping fit, I am very pleased to come across Britain’s first brand that specialises in skin and body care products specifically designed for active lifestyle.
activbod is a range of products developed by athletes for athletes. With patented ingredients proven to aid in recovery, these products are endorsed by some of the world’s top athletes, such as Rachel Atherton, Sophie Coombs, Clarissa Goodwin, Rhea Gayle, Natalie Lowe and more.
What does activbod do for you?
- designed to aid repair and recovery
- Engineered to deliver results you can feel
- Helps to build confidence
- Rewards a more active you
Developed by skin and sports experts, activbod combines the science of skincare with natural ingredients and the unique needs of sports and exercise enthusiasts to deliver products that help to aid recovery, improve comfort during exercise and banish workout worries.
Invigorating gender free fragrances leave skin smelling fresh; fragrance is known to affect mood, our blends help to awaken and revitalise.
Cooling menthol, arnica and warming vanillyl butyl ether contained in activbod products allow you to recover better.
Exercise and sweating brings toxins to skin’s surface and can affect pH balance, activbod products contain ingredients to realign this, protect from environmental damage and keep skin soft and supple.
I have been sent the below products for a review and can tell you right now, I absolutely love the activbod range which will always be in my gym bag!
COOLING FINISH LOTION £12.00
Absolutely love this body moisturiser containing menthol which delivers an enjoyable cooling sensation to the skin. The energising pepper, eucalyptus and lemon fragrance reinvigorates the body and mind. A must have for all active mamas!
FEEL GREAT SHOWER CONCENTRATE £5.00
A travel friendly lightweight tube that delivers double the washes, and will be packed in my bag when flying to run the Venice Marathon in October. An energising blend of sea minerals, green tea extract and almond oil work to cleanse and nourish the skin, whilst a stimulating fragrance of pepper, eucalyptus and lemon fragrance restores body and mind.
GAME CHANGER FACE SCRUB £7.00
This dual action face scrub contains bio-available vitamin E to help reduce redness often experienced after exercise. Micro-scrubbing particles, salicylic acid and sweet almond oil cleanse pores, whilst menthol delivers a cooling soothing sensation to the skin. One of the best face scrubs I have ever used!
MIND OVER MATTER £7.00
No wonder this is activbod best selling product! This motivating balm helps to focus the mind and give you that kick start we all need sometimes! Focus the mind and get into the zone with a stimulating blend of rosemary, peppermint and bergamot essential oils. Peppermint also helps clear the respiratory tract for the perfect pre-exercise pick-me-up.
PICK ME UP SCRUB £8.00
A deep cleansing body polish to scrub away dirt, cleanse pores and stimulate circulation. Salaclyic acid and green tea help to refresh, whilst micro-scrubbing particles work to cleanse pores that become clogged during exercise. An energising pepper, eucalyptus and lemon fragrance reinvigorates the body and mind.
TURN UP THE HEAT ROLLER GEL £12.00
This must be my most favourite of all the products, love using it before starting my exercises or after when relieving some muscle tension. Love the smell and the easiness of use. Ginger, rosemary and vanillyl warm the muscles, whilst arnica and allantoin, an active ingredient work to soothe and ease your muscles.
To be clear I love this brand and all products except the roller gel. This is the worst experience with a post work out product I have ever had. Never mind warming this felt like it was scalding my skin. It hurt so much I cried and you can’t wash it off with water because that intensifies the feeling. Worst skincare product ever.
