Taking care of our skin is very important to look beautiful and avoid dryness or pathologies in the dermis. Focusing on sports, our skin is exposed to external agents or unfavorable environments for proper hygiene. That is why you must have an account with a series of tips to look healthy inside and out.
Don't forget to hydrate
Drink water before, during and after training. During exercise the skin loses a lot of fluids through sweat. To help good body hydration, we will not only need to drink water, but a moisturizing lotion will be a great ally.
Clean your face
We recommend not doing sports with makeup to avoid clogging of the pores and favor acne. Still, if you train with some makeup, it is super important that you remove your makeup correctly with appropriate products, not rubbing with soap.
In addition, the face is very prone to having pimples when we touch ourselves too much with our hands. Being in the gym, we touch the machines and accumulate sweat and bacteria on our hands. Try to have the least direct contact. Even, avoid using the same towel as the machines to dry your facial sweat.
Sun protection if you train outdoors
Whether it is summer or winter, it is important that you apply sun protection. In case of training in winter, you will not need to put cream on your arms or legs, but in hot weather remember to do it. Our face is not the only one that suffers from the sun's rays.
Even if you think that in winter the sun does not affect you as much as if it were August 15, do yourself a favor and protect your face to avoid burning yourself. Have you never seen skiers when they don't get sun protection?
Shower right after finishing
Don't take too long to go to the shower. Sweat moistens your clothes and stays on the skin, so it will favor the appearance of colds and body damage such as acne. In the article on what type of shower is best (cold or hot), we advised you to finish with a few minutes of cold water to activate circulation and hydrate your skin.
The use of body scrubs to remove dead cells is also a success, yes, do not overdo it and do it a few times a week alone. If you can't shower immediately, clean your face and hands. They are the main dangerous foci.
