November 21, 2024

Santa Clarita, CA (November 21, 2024) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Mil Usos sponsored athlete Jasmine Cho is set to compete in the first official women’s division of the Red Bull King of The Air Competition in Cape Town, South Africa, November 23 – December 8, 2024. Riders in all divisions are judged based on height of their airs, variety of tricks and style. The women’s division is fielding six big air kite surfers hailing from the US, France, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

“We are so stoked for Jasmine to compete at King of the Air,” shares Mil Usos Founder Becky Williams. “Jasmine has worked hard to make this dream come true. We are so proud of her and wish her the best! Mil Usos loves to champion athletes and help make their skincare routine easier which is especially appreciated when they are traveling and competing.”

“As someone who travels eight months of the year and travels with waaay too many products, this is legit PERFECT. Also, I absolutely love the way my hair feels after I use the Char Goals Bar to shampoo. It’s super soft and silky,” explained Professional Big Air Kite Surfer Jasmine Cho who rides for the United States.

Cho is a Korean-American production designer and art director in film and television. After graduating from Harvard College with a BA in Visual and Environmental Studies, Cho began her career as a marketing assistant at Creative Arts Agency then jumped into freelance production. She’s been a proud member of IATSE 829 since late 2017.

Red Bull KOTA is one of the most prestigious achievements in kiteboarding and comes with cash prizes, sponsorship opportunities and global recognition. The event draws thousands of spectators to see epic kiteboarding and experience the music, food stalls and activities.

Mil Usos creates ultra-adaptable skincare products designed specifically to suit the needs of athletes and active lifestyles. Mil Usos is Spanish for “one thousand uses.” It also means “a handyman” – someone who can fix everything. Mil Usos Skincare was created to be the handyman that’ll take care of all skincare needs with as few products as possible.

Mil Usos LLC is a female-founded skincare line focused on delivering elevated skincare for athletes and adventure seekers. Founder and jiu jitsu athlete, Becky Williams, recognized the need for effective, minimal skincare that was easy to transport to the gym, addressed “sweat acne” and other concerns arising from high contact sports.

Williams leaned into creating fragrance-free, gender-neutral, and environmentally friendly skincare products when she couldn’t find what she wanted online or in stores. Mil Usos’ products are easy to use, portable, and gentle. Mil Usos’ proprietary formulas are safe, innovative, and highly effective. Using fewer products simplifies our users’ lives and reduces their impact on the planet.

The cleansing bar and moisture balm are Made-in-USA, pH balanced, free of fragrances, essential oils, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, silicones, and preservatives.

“We’re using quality ingredients for elevated skincare on-the-go. It was made specifically to suit the needs of athletes and dial in the gear of outdoor enthusiasts and travelers,” shares Mil Usos Founder, Becky Williams. “Our customers can feel good about using our products – for many reasons.”

Williams’ athletic journey began at the age of seven with her first ballet class. As she grew older, she expanded her passion for movement by teaching pole dance classes at a boutique studio before relocating to Peru. There, in the heart of the Andes Mountains, Becky embraced a minimalist lifestyle, living in a simple adobe brick home without indoor plumbing, internet, or nearby grocery stores. Her days were spent outdoors, engaged in physical labor, leading backpacking excursions, and managing the community-based tour company she founded. She traveled halfway around the world to study yoga at an ashram in Lonavala, India, just before embarking on her jiu jitsu journey in late 2014. Today, she holds a purple belt in jiu jitsu and regularly switches between fighting and dance.

Williams noticed that each athletic pursuit took a unique toll on the skin. Jiu jitsu increased skin infection exposure, so the microbiome needed to be bolstered without harsh cleansers and irritating essential oils. Running often led to chafing and blisters. Extended hiking trips resulted in sunburn and bug bites. Swimming needed extra cushiony moisture. Pole dancing needed alternative methods to soften skin that wouldn’t create slippage on the apparatus.

Her lifestyle also involved frequent travel, whether for races, competitions, training sessions, immersive camps, or adventure trips, often far from home. Even the transition from gym to work demanded a straightforward, high-quality personal care routine that could keep up with her active schedule.

Because Wiliams trained so hard in so many different athletic pursuits, she expected her personal care products to work just as hard. When she couldn’t find what she wanted on a shelf or online, she started a new adventure – developing her own line of multi-purpose skincare products:

The Char Goals Everything Bar Cleanser is designed to be the only cleansing product needed from scalp to toes – hair, face, and body. The one-and-done formula replaces face cleanser, makeup remover, body wash, shampoo, soap and shaving cream. It’s even safe for color-treated, damaged and fragile hair.

The Total Cranarchy Multi-Use Balm is a one-and-done formula that replaces facial moisturizers, body lotion, hand and foot cream, small wound care, anti-chafe sticks, scalp oil, lip balm and deodorant. The non-comedogenic 5-in-1 moisturizer is great for athletes, adventure seekers, travelers, and it is suitable for all skin types. Use Total Cranarchy Multi-Use Balm to soothe sunburn, windburn, heat rash, and bug bites. Deeply repair and rejuvenate skin while eliminating breakouts caused by excessive sweating.

The Scuff Love Silk Exfoliating Glove for the face and body is a 3-in-1 exfoliator, suitable for all skin types. It’s soft enough for the face but tough enough for elbows, knees and calluses. Use prevents ingrown hairs and provides a smoother shave.

The Mil Usos Heavy Lifting Bundle Deal ($82 USD) includes the Char Goals Everything Bar Cleanser ($26 USD), Total Cranarchy Multi-Use Balm ($46 USD) and Scuff Love Silk Exfoliating Glove ($19) at Mil Usos Skincare.
