Girls must know! 3 Key Points to Avoid Wearing Makeup When Working Out

In this era when sports fashion is on the rise, after work, we put on sneakers and go for a run, go to the gym, do yoga... Information coming from all directions tells us the importance of exercise and the taboos of exercise that we should pay attention to. Among them, the most headache-inducing issue for girls is "not wearing makeup when exercising." We all know that exercising with makeup on is bad for the skin, but due to various helpless reasons such as "we need to manage our time to exercise", "it's troublesome to remove makeup before exercise", "it's embarrassing to show up without makeup", etc., we still see many girls exercising with full makeup on. For this reason, Debbie Thomas, a famous beautician in London, shared her views on sports and makeup:

1. Makeup and sweat combined to become the biggest killer of skin damage

As our body temperature rises with exercise, several things are happening on our skin. Once you start sweating, your pores will relax slightly and then open up, causing even waterproof makeup to come off, and then your face will lose its color. Moreover, the skin needs to breathe during exercise. The mixture of cosmetics and sweat will hinder the expansion of pores and heat dissipation, causing blockage of the skin, leading to spots, acne, blackheads and many skin problems.

2. Cleanliness is the basis of everything

Cleansing before exercise and simply applying skin care products will help your skin feel more comfortable during exercise. For example, choosing a toner that suits your skin type can speed up absorption, but greasy lotions will come off with sweat. After exercise, you also need to clean the sweat on your face. It is recommended to use refreshing cleansing products to avoid pulling the skin due to excessive cleansing. Then you can care for your skin according to your usual skin care procedures.

3. What if there is no way to exercise without makeup?

If you must exercise with makeup on, be sure to use a light, oil-free, tinted primer, which can make your skin bright and shiny without being too thick. Also, cleanse and remove makeup as soon as possible after exercise to prevent the pores from shrinking due to cooling, which could cause dirt to accumulate on the skin. In fact, according to field tests conducted by the VOGUE.COM editors, after running a lap around the playground, the sweaty skin will add a lot of radiance to your skin, and the accelerated heartbeat will also make your face look naturally flushed. The bare face skin after exercise is definitely a thousand times better than the one with makeup. Girls might as well let down their guard and give it a try. You will definitely fall in love with the feeling of exercising without makeup.
