Skincare tips: Pre And post-workout skincare routine

If you see acne triggering on your forehead, then you must tie your hair properly during a workout. Hair on coming in contact with a sweaty forehead can lead to clogged pores and cause acne breakouts on your forehead.

2. Make sure your skin has no makeup

Before going for a workout, free your skin of all kinds of makeup, including lip colour. Wash your face properly before going for a workout. When you sweat, your pores open. If you are wearing makeup, the oil and sweat can together clog your pores and lead to unwanted acne breakouts.

3. Wear sunscreen

As mentioned in numerous of our articles done previously, applying sunblock is important at all times, even before a workout. A broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or more is recommended for an apt pre-workout skincare.

5. Try to take a bath after your workout

During the winter season, this may not be possible but it is definitely a recommended tip for during summer months. Once your body gets back to its normal temperature, you should take a nice bath to wipe off all the dust and dirt. Also, it is important that you remove sweaty clothes after your workout.

6. Use toner and moisturiser after cleansing/bathing

Using a toner and moisturiser on your face after cleansing and bathing post-workout can help re-hydrate your skin. A night cream and under-eye cream can be the follow up after toner and moisturiser.
