From Pilates to running and weight training, skincare deserves a place in your fitness routine. Gentle cleansing, sunscreen, and a few beauty tech options can round out a routine tailored to an active lifestyle.
You’ve booked your class, prepared your equipment, and know exactly how much time you have until your first appointment of the day. In a well-organized schedule, skincare can find its place alongside exercise, with simple gestures and products chosen for your needs.
Sweat, makeup, friction, and time spent in wet clothes are some of the things to consider. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends paying attention to hygiene before, during, and after exercise to limit the appearance of workout-related blemishes.
Before sports, prepare the ground
Start by removing your makeup and choose clean clothes for each workout. If you exercise outdoors, apply a product with UVA and UVB protection, an SPF of at least 30, and water resistance. For blemish-prone skin, look for the label that says “non-comedogenic.”
For the facial cleansing step, the FOREO LUNA™ 4 combines a soft silicone surface with T-Sonic™ pulsations and offers three cleansing modes: gentle, normal and deep. The 16 adjustable intensities allow for personalized use, and the cleansing program described on the product page lasts one minute. It is an option for your daily routine, at a time that suits your schedule and skin tolerance.
