Do This After Your Workout

Working out is by far the best thing you can do for your body and health, and there are many benefits of exercising that will boost your daily and future self. Any form of exercise will help your body mentally, physically and emotionally to rejuvenate, increase blood flow, increase energy, better sleep, clearer mind, tone body, build muscle, etc.

There are a lot of benefits of exercise for our skin as well. 

  • Increase of blood flow to skin will help more nutrients and oxygen to reach the skin, healthy and natural glow. 
  • Increases Collagen and Elastin production 
  • Opens up all your pores (don’t workout with makeup, or heavy creams/skincare products)
  • The sweat helps Detox your skin
Post work-Out Skincare Routine 

Like I mentioned above, after your workout your pores are all open and your skin is very delicate. The increased blood flow will help absorb everything you put on your skin faster and more efficient, so it’s best to take advantage of these moments and not be too harsh on our skin, because it is very prone to damage. So what do you do and what do you use?

Wash your Face 

Washing your face right after you are done working out, will clean your pores and take all the sweat and toxins off your face. Use a gentle cream cleanser to wash all the impurities off, without stripping your skin’s natural oils.

Exfoliate 

A gentle exfoliation will rid your skin of all the dead skin cells that lay on top of your skin, and make the texture of your skin much smoother. It will make it easier and better for other ingredients to penetrate into your skin.

Treat / Moisturize

A clean exfoliated face with no layers of dead skin cells and open pores, is the perfect time to target treat any skin problems and if not then moisturize. A targeted serum  will help heal your skin concerns, and a lotion moisturizer is light enough for the day. 

SunScreen

Protecting your skin from the outside world and the harmful UV sun rays is a must to complete your day routine. There are many forms of sunscreen, that if you choose to do your makeup, there is a powder formula to sit on top of your makeup.
