HELP AND FAQS

Our Second Skin Rescue Balm isn’t just for one skin type or condition, it’s designed for people who put their skin through more than most.

Originally created with swimmers and athletes in mind, this balm supports skin exposed to chlorine, saltwater, sweat, friction, and constant movement, helping to protect, strengthen, and restore your skin barrier before irritation even begins.

But beyond sport, it’s for anyone who wants their skincare to keep up with their life.

Whether you’re:

  • Training hard or constantly on the go
  • Dealing with dryness, sensitivity, or flare-ups
  • Recovering from environmental stress (weather, water, movement)
  • Or simply looking for a high-performance, multi-purpose balm

This is for you. Think of it as skincare for active skin, not just reactive skin.

It’s for people who don’t just want to fix irritation after it happens, but prevent it, protect against it, and feel confident in their skin every day.

We're confident in our product, so we've made it risk-free. If you use the Second Skin Rescue Balm consistently for 40 days and don't see a meaningful improvement in your skin, we'll give you a full refund. No hassle, no hoops to jump through. We believe that if a product works, it should be able to prove itself, and ours does. Full details are available on our 40-Day Results Guarantee page.

Yes! Yendra's Second Skin Rescue Balm is suitable for sensitive skin and is specifically formulated to help calm irritation and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

The product has been tried and tested by swimmers and sensitive-skin warriors alike to help soothe flare-ups and support skin prone to irritation, eczema, and psoriasis.

The formulation focuses on deeply nourishing, protective ingredients that lock in hydration and help keep dryness and irritation at bay, making it a strong option for those with sensitive or easily aggravated skin.

The Second Skin Rescue Balm has a unique balm-to-oil formula. It starts as a solid balm in the tub, but melts into a silky oil the moment it touches your skin. This means it absorbs deeply without leaving a heavy, greasy residue. It's concentrated, too, a little goes a long way, so each tub lasts longer than you'd expect.

Skincare matters that much more for athletes because training, sweat, environmental exposure and repeated movement all break down the skin’s natural barrier, leaving it dehydrated, irritated and more vulnerable to inflammation and discomfort.

For active skin, it’s not just about keeping up with appearances, it’s about performance, protection and recovery. Athletes who prioritise skincare protect their body’s first line of defence, help prevent chafing and irritation, and support faster skin healing so they can stay focused on their goals.

Absolutely. Athletes in contact sports like grappling, rugby, and martial arts put their skin under enormous stress, friction burns, mat rash, chafing, and compromised skin barriers are all common. Our balm helps strengthen the skin's natural defences, soothe irritation, and provide the deep hydration that stressed skin needs to recover. One of our customers, Kendra, a grappler based in Colorado, credited the balm with strengthening her skin barrier and protecting against skin infections.

For Water Sports: Before diving in, apply a layer of our Second Skin Rescue Balm for a protective barrier against salt and chlorine. Use post-dip as a moisturising boost on dry skin after towelling off.

To Prevent Chafing and Eczema/ Psoriasis Flare-ups: Apply sparingly to areas prone to friction burn and flare-ups ie inner thighs, chest, underarms, shoulders, joints and feet to calm irritation & blisters. Best applied before activity, or twice a day on flare-ups.

Hair & Split- End Magic: Work a small amount into your hair (or beard) before and after swimming/ sauna sessions for softer, healthier-looking strands.

Our Second Skin Rescue Balm is made with 99% natural ingredients, carefully selected and formulated in our Swedish labs. Key ingredients include Hyacolor (a next-generation hydrating complex), Shea Butter (rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E for deep nourishment), and Squalane (a naturally-derived lipid that mimics your skin's own oils to lock in moisture and strengthen the barrier). Every ingredient has been chosen for its ability to deeply nourish, protect, and help calm irritation, nothing is there just for show.

Our Second Skin Rescue Balm is specifically formulated to help calm irritation and support skin prone to eczema. The deeply nourishing, protective ingredients lock in hydration and help keep dryness and irritation at bay.

Our balm has a naturally-derived vanilla scent that our ambassadors and customers absolutely love; Kyle Kothari's entire Team GB diving squad fell for it the moment he opened the tub after training! The scent comes from carefully selected ingredients rather than synthetic fragrances, making it gentle on sensitive skin whilst still being something you genuinely look forward to using.

Yes, completely. Our balm contains zero steroids, zero parabens, and zero harsh additives. We know that many people with eczema and psoriasis are looking for effective alternatives to steroid-based creams, and that's exactly what we set out to create, a deeply nourishing, naturally-derived formulation that supports your skin without the side effects associated with long-term steroid use.
