Sports and beauty routines

Yes, exercise is as good for your skin as it is for the rest of your body. In fact, staying fit has a positive impact on the structure and elasticity of your skin.

But I'm sure that every time you go to play sports you have the same doubts:

• If it's in the morning, should I do my beauty routine before or after?
• Should I do both pre- and post-activity cleaning?
• Should I do my ritual right after cleansing my face, wait until night, do two, …?

Sweat, impurities, bacteria, and dehydration are factors that affect the condition of the skin when we exercise.

So, just as you warm up before training, you should also prepare your skin so that it doesn't suffer.

And if you don't want your face to lose its natural glow, take note of how to treat it after playing sports.

Regardless of the time of day we exercise, it's very important to keep our skin perfectly clean before and after exercising, as sweating dilates our pores to eliminate toxins. If the skin isn't free of impurities before starting an activity, some of them can penetrate, clogging the ducts and promoting the formation of microcysts and pimples.

And of course, wearing makeup is not recommended for the same reason.

Organic Powder Cleanser is your best option since its ideal formulation for all skin types, even the most sensitive, together with its complex of prebiotics and antioxidants that balance your face's microbiota, strengthening the skin's natural defenses, make it a true ally for deep cleansing without irritating, drying out, or sensitizing the skin's barrier function after several uses a day.

While this mandatory cleansing is fairly easy to integrate, the question now arises as to whether it should be followed by our full routine with products such as serum, cream, etc. This question can arise especially if we exercise immediately after getting up. Should we do all the steps before or after?

In this case, considering that we'll have to cleanse our skin again at the end and that, therefore, we'll be removing any previously applied cosmetics from our skin, the most logical thing to do would be to simply use the cleanser, exercise, and then cleanse again and apply the entire routine.

On the other hand, if several hours will pass between waking up and exercising, we should apply all the products, as this will give the skin time to absorb them.

After exercise, an important point is that, even if we have done those morning steps, after training and its subsequent cleansing, we should continue with a treatment dose, even if it is a reduced version.

It's necessary to restore tissue and, above all, provide the water lost during exercise. This is a vital step in protecting the skin for the rest of the day.

Even if we drink during activity, the water present in the skin evaporates and the dehydration process accelerates. This results in premature skin cell death, forming fine, horizontal lines that eventually become deeper wrinkles. This clogs pores and causes the skin to age prematurely.

The Double Moisturizer Pack offers the perfect treatment to effectively maintain your skin's hydration level without alterations, as it works on all aspects: hydration, moisturization, and nutrition with a light, easily absorbed texture.

And as a bonus...but no less important, if you're going to exercise outdoors, don't forget to apply sunscreen to your pre-workout routine to protect your skin from UV rays and the effects of pollution.
