There is a growing awareness of the need to adopt healthy habits. This factor has been key to the boom in sport that is currently taking place. According to the latest data, six out of ten Spaniards played sports in the last year . Of these, 23.8% did so daily and 52.5% at least once a week.
These data are really very positive, but how do you take care of your skin when you are going to exercise? You have to think about the before and after because your epidermis can suffer from perspiration , irritating it and even causing acne to appear. Below we will reveal the basic gestures that you should take into account before putting on your sports shoes.
Watch your hydration
Dehydration and exercise often go hand in hand. Sweat and body heat cause a phenomenon of dehydration that, although normal, must be controlled.
Just like our muscles, after exercise our skin needs to recover from the loss of its water reserves . This phenomenon is due to the metabolic role of the skin, which activates perspiration to regulate its internal temperature . The result is dehydration. Therefore, it is essential to adopt a beauty routine that preserves the balance of the skin before, during and after exercise .
Pre-workout beauty routine: clean and no makeup
Helps your skin by promoting natural perspiration.
During physical exertion , the pores open, leaving them totally vulnerable to grease , dirt and bacteria that, once they penetrate, clog them and can cause redness , inflammation and even the appearance of pimples . For this reason, removing all traces of dirt and grease before exercise is key , as well as avoiding makeup .

A common question is whether or not we do the complete routine before doing sports. In this case, let common sense guide you. If you are going to do sports as soon as you get up, do only the cleaning. It is a It's a shame that you use the products and your skin doesn't have time to benefit from them. And of course, when you get home, do all the steps of your routine (cleansing, toner, serum, cream, sunscreen).
Now, if you exercise long after getting up , yes, without a doubt, do your complete skincare , since your skin will have had plenty of time to absorb all the active ingredients in your cosmetics. In this case, after exercise it is advisable to re -hydrate the skin to restore the loss it has had. In this case, we recommend your moisturizer and if there is still sun, your sunscreen .

How to care for your skin during exercise: water and sunscreen
To replenish water reserves and therefore avoid dehydration, the most important thing is to drink water . Adequate levels of hydration will allow the transport of minerals , vitamins and nutrients , as well as promoting the expulsion of toxins .
On the other hand, we tend to sweat more in areas where we have more hair, such as the forehead, sideburns and beard for those who have one. In this case, sweat has a negative effect on the hydration of the hair , making it more brittle. To minimize its impact, if this is your case, dry the sweat frequently .
As for sunscreen , adapt it to your needs and prioritize a sweat-resistant protector with an SPF appropriate to your phototype and that is respectful of your skin.
Post-workout skincare routine: restore your skin
Once you finish your exercise session, remove your clothing as soon as possible so that your skin can breathe as well as possible.
And now, carry out your complete cosmetic ritual to rebalance and restore your skin after exertion .
