Dos and don’ts of skincare pre-workout
Dos of skincare before workout
1. Remove makeup: Wearing makeup while exercising is the primary reason for acne coming up on the face. It is advised to wipe makeup off of the skin.
2. Cleansing: It is equally important to wash the face using a mild cleanser. Cleansing helps to ensure there is no residue left that can block the pores and result in acne.
3. Hydrate: Applying a gentle moisturiser or sunscreen as per need is also important for the care of your skin.
4. Sunscreen: If you’re exercising outdoors, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from UV rays.
5. Using good cotton gym clothes helps in proper skin care and reduces sweat rashes and fungal infection chances.
Don’ts of skincare before workout
1. Heavy Products: Avoid using heavy creams or oils that can make your skin feel suffocated during exercise.
2. Exfoliation: Skip harsh exfoliation before a workout as it can irritate your skin when combined with sweat.
3. New Products: Avoid trying new skincare products before a workout. Stick to what you know won’t cause irritation or breakouts
