Hard Grit gives you supple but strong hands
Rock climbing wrecks your hands creating dead flakey and worn skin, and hard glassy calluses. These reduce friction, and can catch and tear.
Most hand creams and balms can't get past this to reach the healthier skin underneath, the skin it does reach gets the benefit, creating uneven skin, more prone to tearing, uneven friction, and less reliable.
So regardless of your skin, dry and peeling, wet and soft, glassy and polished, thin, calloused, or raw, you have to clear the bulk and soften the transition so the cream can give you smoother, softer, stronger skin. Skin that is more consistent and reliable.
Dual-action skin repair
- Scrub - crushed coconut shells clear away dead buildup, and soften callouses
- Condition - emollients and humectants are worked in to facilitate repair.
Hard Grit works as a scrub made of crushed coconut shells to get past the dead skin and buildup and into your skin, clearing the way for its conditioning cream to actually absorb, and feed the living skin underneath rather than sitting on top of the stuff you're about to lose anyway.
This gives you hands that are tough but not rigid, skin that bends with the hold instead of cracking under it, supple but tough.
SMOOTHER SOFTER STRONGER
How to use it
After a session, wash and dry your hands. Work Hard Grit into thick calluses, finger edges, and pads then the rest of your hands and leave the conditioning cream to sink in. Use a soft towel to flick off the remaining grit into a basin or outside. Don't be a grub and leave it on the gym (or your home's) floor!
If the grit is still sticking to your skin when you're done, you’ve used too much!
Avoid open splits and bleeding skin until they've closed over, you can then gently smooth edges.
