Hour at a gym can give you a healthy glow – but it can also clog your pores and trigger breakouts if you’re not taking care of your skin afterwards. Here’s three steps you should follow in order to keep your complexion healthy and clear after a workout.

No Touching

If you’re one of those people who usually wipe the sweat away from their faces after the workout, it’s time to stop. This may be everyone’s first instinct, but it can only lead to breakouts by letting bacteria and dirt into your open pores.

Are you noticing that your workout is causing your skin to break out? Exercise is beneficial to the body, but if you don't apply a skincare routine, you could end up with zits caused by clogged pores and bacteria. Sweating doesn't directly cause acne, but pores clogged by dead skin cells and bacteria can. So, remove makeup before exercising to prevent buildup, and hop in the shower right after. Pores that are blocked will not allow your skin to breathe. Wash with TreeActiv's Acne Eliminating Face Cleanser and Acne Exfoliating Body Wash to flush out impurities from your skin and leave no opportunity for pimples to grow. #gymacne #gymskincare #skincare #skincareroutine #acne #acnetreatment #cleanser #facecleanser #facialcleanser #wash #facewash #bodywash #bodyscrub #facialwash #acnewash #exfoliate #exfoliating #gym #skin #beauty #naturalbeauty #lifestyle #fitness #health #pimples #glowingskin #acneproblems

Gentle Wash

Washing your face after a workout is a must, but being too harsh on yourself won’t do you any good. Over-scrubbing might make you feel cleaner, but it will also dehydrate your skin and that’s why it should be avoided at all costs.

Good Moisturizer

Contrary to popular belief, sweat session at the gym isn’t providing your skin with necessary moisture. If you followed previous two steps, using a moisturizer is also a must since it’s the only way to replenish water your skin lost.
