We\u2019re not talking about a muscle injury or a lack of energy, but about chafing: that discomfort we\u2019ve all endured, and which we must prevent and take care of properly.<\/p>\n<p>Under the slogan \u2018RUB WHAT RUBS\u2019, <strong>Anticongestiva Cus\u00ed<\/strong>, from <strong>STADA<\/strong>, presents a series of visual guides designed for today\u2019s runners to help protect runners\u2019 skin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith <strong>\u2018RUB WHAT RUBS\u2019<\/strong>, at <strong>STADA<\/strong> we want to spark dialogue about skin health in sport, placing it on the same level of importance as hydration or nutrition as a key factor for athletes,\u201d says <strong>Elena L\u00f3pez<\/strong>, Marketing Director of <strong>STADA Spain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Dermatological prevention joins hydration and nutrition as the third pillar of \u201csmart training\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"c-mainarticle__main-media\" data-ck-asset-wrapper=\"\">\n<h2>Skin, hydration and nutrition, the three pillars of \u201csmart training\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>We often worry about the most cushioned shoes or the most advanced energy gel, but forget that the skin is our first line of protection. A chafing not only hurts; it inflames, can cause open wounds, and may force a total break in training for several days, disrupting the rhythm of preparation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want athletes to stop seeing chafes as an inevitable consequence of physical exercise,\u201d said Elena L\u00f3pez. \u201cWith this campaign, we aim for dermatological care to be valued as much as hydration or nutrition. Protected skin helps you enjoy sport more.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Science applied to comfort: Why sweat isn\u2019t your best friend<\/h2>\n<p>The onset of a chafe is the \u201cperfect storm\u201d of three factors: friction, pressure, and moisture. Sweat, although necessary to cool the body, softens the outer layer of the skin after hours of physical activity, leaving it vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign\u2019s new guides help identify the critical points according to each discipline (in our case, <strong>thigh chafing<\/strong>, because we\u2019re runners, but many also head out cycling and suffer from saddle contact) and propose using protective physical barriers. The tested formula of <strong>Anticongestiva Cus\u00ed<\/strong>, from <strong>STADA<\/strong>, acts as that invisible shield that reduces the impact of continuous rubbing, allowing the skin to endure even in extreme humidity or long-duration workouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Anticongestiva Cus\u00ed is <strong>a dermatological cream designed to care for and repair the skin when it most needs it<\/strong>. Intended for the protection and temporary relief of mild irritant skin conditions such as chafes, irritations, and superficial erosions, in adults and children, its zinc oxide formula creates a protective barrier that <strong>guards the skin from moisture and external aggressions<\/strong>. It should be used only when rubbing already exists and if you need it as preventive use. It has a soothing and astringent effect and helps restore skin comfort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information on the website: www.anticongestivacusi.es<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Clinically tested like all medicines.
