Move Freely, Heal Smoothly: Skincare for Runners, Gym-Goers and Everyday Athletes

Why Active Lifestyles Need Extra Scar Care

For anyone who loves running, lifting, or smashing a HIIT workout—bumps, scrapes, and the occasional scar come with the territory. Whether it’s from minor friction, accidental cuts, or even post-surgery marks, active individuals know the struggle all too well.

But here’s the thing—repetitive movement can make it harder for those scars to heal properly. These repeated motions are one of the main culprits behind hypertrophic scarring, which can take longer to heal and become more visible over time (Mustoe, 2008).

When Motion Meets Friction

For those committed to an active lifestyle, taking proper care of scars is more than cosmetic—it’s about comfort and recovery. Friction and movement in high-use areas (think elbows, knees, ankles) can turn a small scar into a long-term issue. 

That’s why proper scar care isn’t optional—it’s part of the recovery game plan.
