]]> There are so many benefits to regular exercise that it’s hard to imagine it having any kind of negative effect. As long as workouts are done safely and properly, drawbacks are usually minimal—that is unless you’ve got sensitive or acne-prone skin. Sweat and synthetic fabrics can be a recipe for breakouts. Some skincare companies are now formulating products specifically to help prevent them. While specialized products can certainly be helpful, you don’t need to buy any brand in particular to maintain clear skin. Following a few simple steps can help prevent most post-workout acne.

Wash Your Skin Before Working Out

Our pores open up as our face and body produce sweat to keep us cool, so it’s important to make sure to remove anything that might clog them such as dirt and makeup. You don’t need to use anything too strong; even a makeup removing wipe will suffice. 

Wear Clean Clothes

If you’re not someone who sweats a lot, it can be tempting to wear workout gear for more than one session to save time, but it’s better for your skin to only wear clean clothes. Washing your clothes between workouts will remove built up oil and bacteria. 

Shower Quickly

If possible, shower immediately after you finish working out to wash away any built-up bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil from irritating your skin and causing breakouts.

]]> The summer heat is here for a while and we’re entering the muggiest time of year. Whether you’re sweating from the heat or sweating after a workout, losing all that water can start to dehydrate your skin and the salt can be bad for your pores. To help recover from sweating, here’s what to look for in moisturizer for after you’ve washed your sweat off your face.

For Sensitive Skin

If your skin is very sensitive, you’ll want to give it a little time to recover before applying moisturizer. When you do moisturize, use something oil-free and light, so as not to put too much pressure or irritants on your skin. Some “extra” stuff like antioxidants are okay, but be sure they aren’t ingredients that will irritate you, since sweat is already irritating.

For Dry Skin

On the other hand, if your skin is dry, you’ll want to use something richer and heavier to help it back from being dehydrated. Choose a cream with lots of nutrients, but again pay attention to whether any of them are irritants for you.  It’s especially good to choose something designed for dry skin.

For Oily Skin

For oily skin, as you might guess, you’ll want to make absolutely sure your formula is oil-free. You’ll also want to avoid anything too heavy so your pores are able to breathe.
