Whether you’re heading to Pilates, lifting weights at the gym or squeezing in a quick workout before work, looking after your skin can be just as important as looking after your body.
Exercise gets your body moving, your heart rate up and your skin sweating. That’s all part of the process, but heat, sweat and friction can leave your skin feeling flushed, dehydrated or in need of a little extra care.
So, we’ve put together a simple pre, during and post-workout skincare routine to help you feel fresh before you move, refreshed while you’re on the go and ready to reset afterwards.
Pre-Workout: Get Up & Go
Before you head to the studio, start with a simple skincare routine that leaves your skin feeling fresh and hydrated.
Get Up & Glow Jelly Cleanser is your perfect pre-workout cleanse. Whether you’re heading out for an early morning class or fitting in an evening session, it’s an easy addition to your routine before you get moving.
Follow with Plump Up Hydration to give your skin a boost of hydration before you work up a sweat. Keeping your skin feeling hydrated before exercise can help it feel more comfortable as your body heats up.
The key before a workout? Keep it simple. You don’t need layers of heavy products before you exercise. A fresh, lightweight routine is all you need to get your skin workout-ready.
During: Refresh & Reset
Your skin is working while you are. As your body heats up, you’ll naturally start to sweat, so having something refreshing to hand can make all the difference.
Enter the Mini Be Soothed Rose Mist!
Small enough to throw into your gym bag, handbag or Pilates kit, it’s an easy way to give your skin a quick refresh whenever you need it.
And here’s our favourite tip: pop your Rose Mist in the fridge before your workout. When you’re warm from your session, a cool spritz feels instantly refreshing!
Use it during or between classes, after a particularly sweaty session or simply whenever your skin needs a little pick-me-up.
Think of it as your little moment of refreshment in the middle of a busy day.
Post-Workout: Cleanse, Nourish & Restore
You’ve finished your workout, but your skin routine isn’t quite done yet.
After exercising, it’s a good idea to cleanse away sweat and any build-up from your skin, particularly if you’ve been wearing makeup or skincare throughout the day.
For your face, reach again for the Get Up & Glow Jelly Cleanser for a fresh, feel-good cleanse. Once your skin is clean, it’s time to replenish.
Choose Plump Up then Inner Glow Face Oil when you want to leave your skin feeling nourished and glowing, or reach for Daily Detox when you’re ready for a deeper reset.
There’s no need to overcomplicate your post-workout routine. Cleanse, hydrate, replenish and let your skin breathe.
Don’t Forget Your Body
Your post-workout ritual shouldn’t stop at your face. After a workout, your muscles deserve a little attention too. Happy Balm is perfect for massaging into areas that feel tired after movement, helping turn your post-workout routine into a moment of self-care.
And when it’s time for your shower, Calm Wash makes the perfect finishing touch. Infused with lavender and chamomile, use it to wash away sweat and leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Follow with Calm Lotion to leave your skin feeling soft and nourished.
Your Workout, Your Ritual
Taking care of your skin around exercise doesn’t need to mean adding another complicated routine to your day. It can be as simple as Get Up & Glow and Plump Up Hydration before you move, Rose Mist Mini during your workout, and a cleanse and nourishing routine afterwards.
Because when you’re making time to move your body, why not make a little time for your skin too?
Move. Sweat. Refresh. Reset.
