Makeup is one of the dilemmas that women have when it comes to training, especially since we see some gym mates just as groomed as on a Friday night.
Can we put on makeup or is it bad for our skin? The most recommended thing is to wear a clean face of makeup and creams (except solar), but we are going to give you some advice if you feel safer having a little color on your face.
When we do some physical activity that raises body temperature, our body tries to regulate it by creating sweat. The pores of the skin are dilated and any external agent could cause an obstruction that favors the appearance of black spots .
recommendations
Experts recommend that you clean your face just before starting your workout . Free your pores from makeup or creams using some cleansing toner or milk, never a gel or body soap. You can also use micellar water or some gel indicated for the face (after removing make-up).
But if you are one of those who has to wear some makeup, don't worry because there is a solution. There are BBCreams light, moisturizing and with some hints of color that will help you have a better skin tone and will not affect sweating as much.
If you come from work and you have makeup , it is very important that you remove everything that accumulates in the face . In greater quantity will be bacteria from the environment that, together with the remains of cosmetics, will make a bomb on your skin.
Keep in mind that, even if you put on fluid bases, you can finish your training with makeup patches by removing the excess sweat with the towel.
If you also like to emphasize the look so as not to feel so "naked", it is best to opt for a mascara or eyeliner waterproo f to avoid ending up as Mulán's matchmaker.
Of course, you can use lip balm to hydrate them with a subtle hint of color. This is highly recommended if you train outdoors in winter.
Also choose to use a sunscreen cream SPF50 + if you are going to train in the park. In this way you will avoid creating spots on the skin and of course you will avoid the aging caused by ultraviolet rays.
What must you do on a mandatory basis?
- Before training : as we have previously mentioned, if you come from class or work, remove your makeup and use something lighter (if you need to put makeup on). Do not forget to carry products in your bag to adapt your face to training!
- After training : normally you have sweated and, in case you do not know, sweat contains a high content of acidity. It is best that you remove excess sweat with a towel and do not delay in going to the shower to eliminate all bacteria before they accumulate in your pores. You can use normal water or micellar water to double the possibility that it will not affect your skin.
Remember that " less is more ": train without jewelry, perfumes, copious makeup, or unhelpful hairstyles.
