BEFORE WORKING OUT



  1. Remove makeup
    Wash your face to remove dirt and makeup
    from your face. This will leave your pores
    clear and ensure they don't get clogged.
    Bacteria thrives in warm, damp conditions
    so when sweat mixes with dirt on the skin
    it will forms grime which forms blemishes.

  2. Keep it off your face
    When you are working out, you want to
    keep sweat off your face. You can't help
    sweating but you can prevent sweat from
    dripping all over you by holding your hair
    back from your face and wear a sweatband.
    This will minimize chances of sweat getting
    into the pores and blemishes forming.

  3. Apply moisturizer with sunscreen
    If you are working out outdoors, you need
    to keep your skin protected from the sun.
    Clean your skin then apply a moisturizer
    with adequate SPF on your face, neck and
    chest. 

  4. Hands off
    As you work out, you may want to get sweat
    off your face with your hand- don't. When
    you are working out and perspiring, the
    pores open up even more to release sweat.
    This makes it easier for dirt, bacteria and oil
    to get in, clog the pores and cause blemish-
    es to forming. Keep a small towel with you
    and use it to pat sweat off your face.

  5. Stay dry
    There are gym clothes made of fabric that
    wicks away moisture away from the body
    right away. Apart from keeping you dry
    and comfortable as you work out, gym gear
    made of these fabrics absorb sweat before
    it can clog the pores and start forming
    blemishes.


When you finish working out, there are oth-
er precautions you need to take to avoid
post-workout skin blemishes. You have tak-
en steps to protect your skin before your
workout and you need to take more after-
wards or else you will lose the benefits of
the precautions you took before.


AFTER WORKING OUT


  1. Quick change
    Only when sweat stays on the body for a
    while does bacteria start to develop and
    cause skin blemishes. Remove your gym
    clothes right after a workout.

  2. Cleanse your skin thoroughly
    When your workout is over, you need to
    cleanse your skin. If you wiped off makeup
    with wipes before working out, you should
    now cleanse your skin thoroughly. The best
    products to use for your skin are those dedi-
    cated to women who work out.

  3. Hydrate and rebalance your skin
    Choose a facial moisturizer with an SPF of

  4. It should be ultra-light, sweat-resistant
    and won't sting eyes. Choose one that is
    highly effective for fighting free radicals
    and preventing dark spots.

  5. Protect and nourish with a replenishing
    serum
    A deep replenishing serum restores
    moisture and vitamins after the toughest
    workout. It should also works to encourage
    collagen regeneration and the formation
    of new skin cells to help keep your skin in
    good condition.

  6. Be consistent
    Skin care products are meant for use not
    only on days you workout but daily. Use
    them consistently and even on the days you
    don't work out so that your skin remains re-
    silient, with a healthy glow.
