You are highly motivated for your sports sessions, you can be proud of yourself! Healthy body, calories burned and glowy skin are the expected results. But sometimes you don't take the time to wash your face down to remove the foundation or powder applied before you sweat. But it's a big mistake to go to sport while wearing make-up… We explain.
The mix of sweat and makeup: help!
"Ideally, make-up should not be worn when engaging in a sporting activity."says dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto to the magazine She Anglo-Saxon. "Sweating and the increase in body temperature caused by exercise open up pores of the skin, which can then obstruct by makeup particles. This leads to Rashes, redness and imperfections."In short, all that we hate!
In addition, in a gym, the proliferation of bacteria is easier: the intense heat, the contact of your hands with the machines, the carpet, the weights … all this happens directly on your skin as soon as you touch your face. Even more if you sweat. And frankly, the flowing makeup is not hot.
In short, you will understand: do not block the oxygenation of your skin by loading it with make-up before any sporting activity. If you are practicing outdoors, you can afford to apply sunscreen to protect the skin from UV rays, but no more.
