What’s Your Rhino Skin Ritual?

Now that the weather has definitely taken a turn for the chilly and rainy, the clocks have gone back and the darkness is upon us, it’s probably time to start taking some extra care of our skin between climbing sessions. Prevention is better than cure!

You’ll have noticed the Rhino Skin Solutions range of skin care in our retail area (and it’s currently in our online shop too!). Rhino Skin products are ‘Formulated by a pharmacist and built by a chef, Rhino Skin Solution uses earth grown ingredients to bring you non greasy, high performance skin care for the active lifestyle … First developed for Smith Rock in Oregon, Rhino is created to be an essential care product to help combat the brutal effects of sharp crimps and rough rock.’

We stock the majority of the range of products to hopefully cater for all your needs, whether that be finger tips sweating too much, or cracked and dry skin that needs some TLC.
