Minor League Baseball Player Creates First-Ever Skincare Company for Athletes

Is your athlete struggling with sports breakouts? When Minor League Baseball player Carson Matthews' career was being affected by equipment-related skin issues, he created something revolutionary: the first-ever skincare system specifically designed for athletes.

How it All Started

The locker room was more than just Ballboyz founder Carson Matthews's second home—it was his laboratory of innovation. At 23, while playing minor league baseball for the Los Angeles Angels, Matthews witnessed a persistent problem plaguing athletes: stubborn, confidence-crushing acne. Surrounded by talented players who trained relentlessly, he realized that no amount of athletic prowess could solve the skin challenges that were silently undermining their self-esteem. It was here, between innings and practice sessions, that the seed of his revolutionary skincare line was first planted.

Regular Acne Products Aren't Designed for Sports

Most standard acne treatments aren't formulated to handle the unique challenges of sports-related breakouts. Athletes need products specifically designed to combat the combination of sweat, friction, and bacteria that builds up under gear and equipment.

Why Athletes Get More Acne

Whether it's high school football players, weekend warriors, or aspiring college athletes, the skin challenges are universal. From soccer fields to basketball courts, athletes of all levels are constantly battling a perfect recipe for breakouts. Sweat, dirt, and bacteria create a toxic combination that turns athletic gear into a breeding ground for acne. Tight-fitting jerseys, helmets, and protective equipment trap moisture against the skin, creating a warm, humid environment where bacteria multiply rapidly. After intense practices or games, teens often leave their sweaty gear in gym bags or lockers, allowing bacteria to fester and multiply. The constant friction of equipment, combined with increased oil production from hormones and physical exertion, means athletes are far more prone to aggressive breakouts than their less active peers. It's a skin challenge that goes beyond professional sports—affecting young athletes at every level, from middle school teams to college training camps.

Introducing the Acne Solution Used by 200,000 Athletes Everyday

Driven by his own struggles and the challenges he saw teammates facing, Carson Matthews transformed his athletic setback into a breakthrough solution. After countless conversations with dermatologists and extensive research, he developed the Ballboyz and Ballgirlz Acne Gameplan Kit—a comprehensive skincare system specifically designed for athletes. Drawing from personal experience with persistent skin issues and expert medical insights, Carson crafted a targeted approach that addresses the unique skin challenges athletes face. 

 

The kit includes a face scrub to deep clean pores, a lightweight moisturizer to balance skin hydration, a precision zit pen for targeted treatment, strategic pimple patches to quickly heal breakouts, and a body scrub to tackle acne across the entire body. Each product was meticulously developed to work together, providing athletes with a complete defense against sweat, dirt, and bacteria that can trigger breakouts. What started as a personal mission in the Angels' locker room became a game-changing solution for athletes of all levels—from high school sports to professional leagues.

The Secret Ingredient IS The Ingredients

Carson Matthews didn't just want another skincare line—he wanted a revolutionary solution that harnesses the power of nature's most potent ingredients. The Acne Gameplan Kit is a testament to the incredible healing potential of all-natural components, carefully selected for their unparalleled skin-healing properties. Activated charcoal acts as a powerful magnet, drawing out impurities and toxins from deep within the pores. 

 

Honey, nature's own antiseptic, works to calm inflammation and provide natural antibacterial protection. Soothing oats and aloe vera calm irritated skin, reducing redness and promoting healing. Turmeric brings its legendary anti-inflammatory properties, fighting acne at its source. Essential oils provide natural antibacterial and skin-balancing benefits, while bentonite clay detoxifies and purifies the skin like no synthetic ingredient can. Shea butter creates a protective, nourishing barrier that keeps skin hydrated and protected. 

 

Unlike mass-market products loaded with harsh chemicals, the Acne Gameplan Kit is a pure, potent solution that quite literally outperforms anything else on the market. Each ingredient is carefully sourced, scientifically backed, and proven to be more effective than traditional acne treatments—making it the ultimate weapon in the fight against athlete's acne.
