Do guys need a body moisturiser? The training case for step 03
Most men who train have a plan for the session and nothing for after it. Shower, towel, out the door. A body moisturiser sounds like a step from someone else's bathroom shelf.
This is the case for it from the training side. State of Recovery (S.O.R) built step 03 for people who lift, run and play, and it goes on in the same few minutes as the shower you already take.
If you train, step 03 is part of the session. Not a beauty step.
The Muscle Body Moisturiser has magnesium, menthol, vitamin E and botanical extracts. Once you're out of the shower and dry, it goes onto legs, shoulders and back. It rubs in, leaves a cooling finish and stays on. One product, $40.
Why it gets skipped.
Most body moisturisers are sold as skincare: soft, scented, a bathroom-shelf thing. If that's not you, you skip it. Fair enough. Step 03 is sold as part of training because that's where it fits: straight after the session, in the same towel-off you already do.
After the shower. Every time you train.
Gym shower, towel off, cream into quads and shoulders, get dressed. It works in the change room as well as at home.
Calves, shins and quads after the shower. The cooling finish is the first thing you notice. Runner? Here's the full post-run routine.
Same shower, same towel-off. Legs, shoulders and back before bed.

Start with one product.
You don't need the whole routine to start. The Moisturiser works on its own after any shower. If you want all 3 steps, the Gel (step 01) and the Scrub (step 02) go in first, and The Recovery Stack is $100 for the set, with 1,350mg of magnesium across the full routine.
FAQ
Is it greasy?
It rubs in well. Give it a moment before you pull a shirt on.
Can I use it after a gym shower?
Yes. It's built for the shower you're already taking, at the gym or at home.
Do I need the other steps?
No. Start with the Moisturiser. The full routine is The Recovery Stack at $100, against $110 bought separately.
What does the menthol feel like?
A cool feel on the skin once it's on. If your skin is sensitive, try a small area first.
