“In football, athletes must wear a plastic chin cup/strap which is hot, sweaty, dirty, oily, smelly and a breeding ground for bacteria,” says Gus Blythe, president of Drymax Technologies. “Chin cups never get washed and wearing one for two hours a day, six days a week creates a bad environment for the skin, which often leads to problem or irritated skin.”

The company’s solution: ChinSaver, which helps protect and improve the health and appearance of the skin.

The key to the product’s performance are Super Hydrophobic Drymax fibers that move sweat off the skin to keep the wearer’s skin drier and more comfortable in hot and cold weather.

The Drymax fibers that rest against the facial skin are enhanced with Cupron Copper technology. These fibers release millions of copper ions, helping improve skin health and appearance.  When worn regularly against the skin, clinically proven Cupron Copper has been shown to improve the skin’s elasticity and softness as well as appearance in tone and texture.  Cupron Technology has been consistently found to be non-toxic and non-irritating to skin.

When worn and washed regularly, ChinSavers are designed to help with skin irritations, razor burn and problem skin caused by wearing plastic chin cups.  The Cupron Copper technology is embedded in the Drymax fibers and will not wash or wear out. They also kill odor-causing bacteria, fungus and microbes for more freshness.  

“Of the over one million teenage football players in the US, no one wants to go to the Homecoming dance with blemished skin,” adds Blythe. “Football players will appreciate the ChinSaver’s ability to help with their skin issues.
