dont neglect skincare before and after exercise be careful not to damage your skin

It is often said that people who love sports are the most beautiful........

Fitness and exercise are undoubtedly beneficial for our body and health, helping us to shape a more perfect figure. At the same time, exercise helps expel toxins from our body through sweating and promoting blood circulation, making our skin more radiant.

However, exercise can also lead to issues like oily skin, dehydration, or sunburn. If you want your skin to be in better condition, you must not neglect your skincare routine before and after exercise.

【Before Exercise】

1. Tie up your hair

During exercise, hair tends to produce more oil. If you leave your hair down, it can touch your facial skin, leading to clogged pores and potentially causing acne. If you sweat a lot, consider wearing a sweatband. Also, if you have bangs, it's best to pin them back to expose your forehead before you start your workout.

2. Clean your face

Remove your makeup! Remove your makeup! Remove your makeup!Important things need to be said three times. Don't think that removing makeup before exercise is troublesome, and don't be afraid of going bare-faced. Exercising with makeup on can seriously harm your skin, and no one wants to look worse after working out...

If you exercise with makeup on, the sweat produced during exercise won't be able to exit your skin smoothly, leading to clogged pores. The sweat and bacteria trapped in the pores create a perfect environment for acne.When removing makeup, be sure to use a makeup remover to ensure it's thoroughly cleaned.Even if you are not wearing makeup, you should still clean your face before exercising.If you have the time and conditions, you can take a quick shower first.

3. Hydrate your skin

When you exercise, your skin loses moisture through evaporation. Therefore, after cleaning your skin, you can apply a light and gentle hydrating toner to help keep your skin moisturized during exercise. Just lightly pat some toner on; there's no need for lotion or cream, as they can burden your skin.

4. Apply sunscreen for outdoor exercise

If you are exercising outdoors, sunscreen is essential, even on cloudy days. It's best to choose a waterproof and sweat-resistant formula. Apply sunscreen half an hour before going out and carry it with you.

【During Exercise】

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate...

But avoid drinking large gulps of water; instead, take small sips frequently. Also, during exercise, avoid touching your face with your hands, which may carry bacteria. Use a clean towel instead.

If the sun is too strong during outdoor exercise, remember to reapply sunscreen in time.

【After Exercise】

1. Clean your skin

After exercise, your sebaceous glands become very active, and your pores enlarge. Sweat and bacteria also remain on your face and body. Therefore, after exercising, use warm water to clean your face. Be careful not to use water that is too hot, as it can cause capillaries to dilate and make your skin drier.

Next, take a shower, keeping it under 10 minutes, to clean your body and hair. The water temperature should be close to your skin's temperature.

2. Hydrate and moisturize

After exercise, your skin cells are very active. So, after cleaning, use hydrating and moisturizing skincare products to nourish your dry skin. Start with gentle toners and lotions, and after about half an hour, you can proceed with deeper skincare like masks and serums.

3. Soothe and calm your skin

If you applied sunscreen for outdoor exercise, wash it off first to let your skin breathe for 15-20 minutes before continuing with your skincare routine. Outdoor exercise can cause sunburn and redness, so use soothing toners or aloe vera gel to calm your skin.
