Fitness and Skincare: Your Post-Workout Skincare Must-Do’s for a Lasting Glow

Reading time: 2 minutes

Have you ever finished a workout and felt like you were glowing? It happens because your heart is pumping fast and sending fresh blood to your skin. However, sweat and salt can also stay on your face. If you don't wash them away, they can clog your pores and cause spots. To keep your skin as healthy as your body, follow this simple post-workout skincare routine.

Step 1: The Immediate Cleanse

When you sweat, your pores open up. If you leave sweat on your skin for too long, bacteria can get trapped inside. Wash your face as soon as you finish your cool-down to prevent post-gym breakouts.

Don't use very hot or very cold water. Lukewarm water is best. It gently washes away the salt from your sweat without making your face red or dry.

Step 2: Deep Recovery with Age-Reversing Actives

Right after exercise, your blood is moving quickly. This means your skin is ready to soak up nutrients much better than usual.

This is the perfect time to use a special treat like the FaceYoga® Age-reversing Saffron Serum. Because it is made with pure saffron and sandalwood, it helps your skin repair itself after a hard workout. Just a few drops can make your skin feel soft and strong.

Step 3: Sunscreen

This is an inevitable part of the skincare for athletes who do their exercise on the ground. Apply a lightweight sunscreen with a protective factor of SPF 50+ at least.

FAQs

Can I just use a face wipe after my workout?

  • It is better to use water and a real cleanser to prevent post-gym breakouts. Wipes often just move the dirt around your face instead of actually taking it off.

Why does my skin look dull after a workout?

  • This usually happens because when you sweat, you lose water. 

Is it okay to use FaceYoga serum in my post-gym skincare routine?

  • Yes. Your facial muscles are already warm. Using your fingers to gently massage your serum into your skin is a great way to relax your face and look refreshed.
