Workouts are great for our body and skin. A regular workout leaves your skin healthy and glowing. Due to certain mistakes, your skin may not breathe properly, making it dry and causing breakouts. So, show care for your skin throughout – before, during and after gym.

Tips for Healthy Skin Before Workouts 

Pre-workout Skin Care Routine

Wash Your Face

Before starting your workout properly, cleanse your face. As a dirty face can lead to breakouts. Take an oil-based cleanser and remove all makeup.

Apply Moisturiser and Sunscreen 

During exercise, the lip may feel dry and chapped. Take a hydrated lip balm with SPF that moisturises your lips and protects them from sun rays.

During the Workout 

Avoid Touching Your Face 

During workouts, if you touch your face constantly, bacteria and germs from the equipment can cause breakouts, pimples and even bacterial infection.

Wipe Up the Sweat 

Try to use a soft and clean towel to wipe the sweat. As harsh cloth can lead to rashes and itchiness.

Hydrate Yourself

Drink adequate water during a workout to hydrate yourself. As low water content can cause dehydration, dry mouth and lack of sweating, etc.

After Workout 

Clean Your Face After Workout 

Take a gentle cleanser that works for your skin type. As excessive sweat can clog your pores and cause acne.

Take a Shower & Change Clothes 

Take care of your body after a workout as sweating on clothes leads to bacterial growth that irritates your body. So, take a shower after your workout and wear clean clothes.
