A: As a snowboarder, I spend hours in freezing conditions, and my skin really takes a beating. It’s constantly at risk of getting dry and damaged. So, when Dove Men+Care body wash came to me with the idea of a Skin+Dorsement, it just made sense. This is more than just a typical sponsorship where a logo gets added to your gear. It’s about recognizing your skin routine plays a crucial role in overall wellness and athletic performance.

I respect that Dove Men+Care body wash understands being an athlete isn’t just about physical strength or endurance; it’s also about recovery and taking care of your body so you can perform at your best. I love that this sponsorship embraces the idea that caring for your skin is essential, not optional. It’s more than just using a body wash; it’s now a key part of how I prep and recover.
