Exercising is one of the most important steps to a healthy body and mind. Not only does working out make you feel refreshed, energized, and looking great, but getting your heart pumping on a regular basis can help you make your skin look better than ever.
With that said, though, going to the gym can sometimes feel less than glamorous. I mean, you get sweaty and you’re basically sharing equipment with hundreds of other people every day. These two key aspects of going for a workout can pretty much result in havoc when it comes to your skin.
Skin care Tips for Before & After a Workout
Go makeup-free or opt for something light
But, that doesn’t mean that you should avoid the gym altogether. In fact, a good workout has so many more pros than cons, it’s just a matter of following a few key steps and creating good habits in order to feel and look as great as you deserve to after putting in all that effort!
Don’t touch your face
Use toner pads to clean your face regularly
If possible, avoid wearing makeup altogether when going to the gym. As your body starts to heat up, you’ll pores will open up, and you don’t want all that foundation clogging them up. A makeup-free face is your best friend when at the gym!
Use chamomile to reduce redness
That said, I can totally understand that some of you might not feel comfortable going completely bare. Even though I tend to encourage my clients to avoid makeup (my mantra is: healthy skin is better than any foundation!), I know this doesn’t work for everyone. If you absolutely must wear makeup, keep it light and look for products that won’t clog your pores up (non-comedogenic). Moreover, make sure you wash your face thoroughly after your workout. Yep, even if that means washing and then having to re-apply.
