These are just a few examples; the areas of application for Shield & Care Fluid are as diverse as the skin's need for general care and protection, so they cannot be fully presented here.
Other essential care properties include:
• Provides moisture and prevents the skin from drying out.
• Long-lasting care regulation even after workouts, risks of sweat eczema converge towards zero (e.g. burning sensation on the feet).
• No odor formation due to very strong deodorizing effect.
The Shield & Care Fluid is:
• breathable,
• sweat-resistant,
• (salt) water resistant and
• friction-resistant.
Shield & Care – the better second skin is also available as a lotion:
• for local, smaller-area applications,
• approximately 4 to 6 micrometers thickness of the formed film,
• Effects/effects stronger compared to the fluid.
Physical activity exposes the skin to particular stresses, making it more vulnerable. The risks manifest themselves in many different ways—but the protection and care provided by Shield & Care Fluid is just as versatile:
- Physical activity opens the skin's pores, making it easier to absorb external influences. Shield & Care Fluid forms a micro-protective film over the entire skin, inhibiting germs, for example. This protective effect against environmental influences is particularly important during water sports.
- The alkaline sweating typical of sports stresses the skin and leads to sweat eczema. The pH-balance© technology in Shield & Care Fluid reduces the alkalinity and maintains the pH value in the skin-neutral range of 5.5. This not only prevents sweat eczema, but also removes the potential for sweat to irritate the eyes—another consequence of its alkalinity.
- Pressure and friction make contact points the body's weak points. Blisters and open wounds develop, significantly impairing performance and often requiring long recovery periods. The microbran© protective film in Shield & Care Fluid stabilizes and strengthens the stratum corneum of the skin, protecting it from physical influences such as pressure and friction. This works as a preventative measure, but also on existing problem areas.
- The pathogen-inhibiting potential of Shield & Care Fluid also comes into play for scratches and abrasions: If a skin injury occurs, the film-forming properties of Shield & Care Fluid significantly reduce the risk of infection. The microbran© protective film automatically rebuilds itself over such small injuries, allowing its pathogen-inhibiting properties to take effect.
