How to Take Care of Your Face and Body While Working Out

Before, during, and after training, we study the basic principles of facial and body skin care, as well as gather a basic cosmetic bag for the gym.

It is an undeniable reality that you cannot begin training without first performing a warm-up. Warming up the muscles and ligaments to prepare them for work is necessary for lessons to be beneficial. Have you ever considered how, during physical effort, the skin works just as hard as the muscles? There is a surge of blood, perspiration increases, and the pores expand. And a little "warm-up" won't hurt either.

Before training

 regardless of what time of day you are used to exercising, it is best to wash and remove makeup as usual before training.

Make-up is most readily removed with hydrophilic balms or serums: they are applied to a dry face, breakdown even waterproof cosmetics, and are washed away with warm water (do not confuse with hydrophilic oils - they must be additionally washed off with foaming agents). Because these balms leave a feeling of hydration on the face, there is no need to use the cream before to exercise.

It's also a good idea to bring a small bottle of micellar water to the gym to wipe your face before working out. It is also preferable to rinse away any remaining micellar water from the skin before applying a mild moisturiser or gel. Micellar water can cause skin tightness and pain by drying it out.

Use no peeling or face scrubs right before your workout. They remove a layer of dead skin cells from the skin, causing sweat and grime to irritate it more than usual. Exfoliators should be used 1-2 days before or after working exercise.

Many girls are insecure without makeup and would even go to the gym in full costume. If this is the case, try using mineral makeup instead of "normal" makeup (foundation, blush, bronzer). Mineral cosmetics, in general, do not include oils, do not clog pores, and have a positive effect on problem skin due to the zinc component. Mineral cosmetics makeup literally "merges" with the skin and can withstand physical strain.

Thermo mascara will replace all others for people who do not see their face without painted eyelashes but suffer from continual printing and shedding of mascara, especially during exercise

These mascaras wrap each eyelash in a tube, paint over it thoroughly, and separate it to create a natural impression. Simultaneously, thermo-carcasses are extraordinarily stable: sweat and tears act as seeds for them. You can only wash them in very hot water (38-40 degrees).

Getting a good night's sleep and a snack before your workout may be the best thing you can do for your body. The third spot goes to massage with a dry brush: it disperses blood nicely, tones the skin, and aids in warming up. Dry brush massage combines the benefits of mild peeling and traditional lymphatic drainage massage, allowing us to kill two birds with one stone.

The skin must be dry and free of disturbances for the massage to take place: abrasions, scrapes, or inflammation are absolute contraindications to the technique. Brush strokes should be smooth and absolutely from bottom to top, in the direction of lymph circulation.

It is best not to wear scents during training for your own comfort and to avoid the puzzled looks of those around you. None, not even the most recent and lightest

Even the most familiar aroma can produce nasty undertones when combined with sweat and dust, making you regret "just a couple of zips." Instead of eau de perfume and eau de toilette, use your preferred deodorant: this will suffice.

During training

Skin care is not something you should think about during a workout. Concentrate on the process and take safeguards. Also, make a point of not touching your face again. Instead of using unclean hands to wipe sweat from your brow, use a clean towel or wet wipes.

You can refresh your face between sets if you have a bottle of hot water or floral hydrolat on hand.

And, of course, drink plenty of water when you're thirsty. And, while the direct association between skin condition and fluid consumption is still being debated, the benefit of clean drinking water for the body is undeniable.

Following a workout

Take a shower and change into clean clothes after workout. And the point here is not merely aesthetic: traces of sweat and odour will not surprise anyone who has ever taken public transportation during rush hour. Wet, heated clothing is a haven for germs that can wreak havoc on skin condition.

I wish to scrub her skin until it squeaks after physical effort, but this usually does not help her. "Harsh" alkaline cleansers can damage the skin's natural hydrolipidic layer, causing irritation and flaking. As a result, it is preferable to use gentle detergents such as creams and shower oils. There is no tightness of the skin or need to delve into the pelvis with a moisturiser after them.

If you have oily skin, utilise salicylic acid shower gels. This powerful element exfoliates dead skin cells gently, regulates sebum production, and aids in the battle against inflammation. It also works for the 5-10 minutes you spend in the shower.

In the shower, you can also use a charcoal or clay cleansing mask. Such treatments are excellent for treating clogged pores, drying out pimples, and improving complexion. However, do not overdo them: washing masks can dry out the skin if used too frequently.

Warming or cooling lotions and oils can be applied to your body to assist your muscles heal faster. They typically contain herbal active substances (camphor, menthol, pepper extract) that enhance blood flow in the application area. Such products help to tone the skin and, with frequent usage and a multi-pronged strategy (sports + diet + skin care), can help to lessen the severity of the "orange peel."

Consult a phlebologist before utilising these cures if you have vein problems or are predisposed to them. So, if you are over the age of 20, just consult with him: it will not be superfluous.
