Every woman wants to look beautiful all the time, including during a workout. However, there are certain cosmetics that should be avoided while working out in the gym, reports The Mirror.
What cosmetics to avoid
Although looking good during Pilates or weightlifting always makes you feel good, it doesn't last until you look in the mirror after your workout. That's because cosmetics can leak during activities.
Makeup artist Mel Trierweiler says that you should always avoid heavy foundations, full-coverage concealers, and powders during workouts. As such products can clog pores, which can cause skin irritation or rashes.
It's also best to avoid regular mascara as it can run and irritate your eyes. Instead, choose a waterproof mascara that is formulated to resist sweat and humidity.
When it comes to specific ingredients to avoid, these include products with heavy oils, alcohol, and silicone.
For those who want to apply a little makeup before a workout, lightweight skincare products are the way to go. Gym products include serum foundations, which are ideal because they provide a breathable, non-comedogenic formula that evens out skin tone while keeping your complexion fresh and healthy.
The expert suggested looking for options enriched with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and peptides to moisturize and tighten the skin.
Mel also advised gym-goers to spray on a setting spray to make their makeup last longer if they want it to.
How to cleanse your skin after a workout
After a workout, it's very important to cleanse your skin properly, and an expert has developed the best post-workout skincare program. She said that you should first cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove sweat, makeup, and excess oil with a good cleanser or balm.
Next, it is important to moisturize the skin to restore hydration with a quality moisturizer. It is best to choose a moisturizing formula that will restore your complexion.
