Anyway, you do know there are a few “rituals” you’ve to do to your skin before and after workout to help with rejuvenation.

Cleansing and pampering of skin should extend to use of skin products and food and water intake.

What are some of these tips?

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly before and after workout

When you go for a workout after work or a long commute, the dust particles tend to settle on your skin. The perspiration during the workout causes them to sink deeper resulting in blackheads, blocked pores and pimples. Hence, you must wash your face with a face wash when you return from outside. Post workout cleansing is also essential as it prevents pimples and blackheads.

2. Scrub your body with sea salt scrubs

If you are losing weight with regular workout, a skin pampering regime should also include toning. Using sea salt body scrubs would help tighten the skin after weight loss. It increases the blood flow and makes the skin tight and toned. After workout, it gives you a relaxing experience.

3. Make sure you use a SPF sunscreen

Morning or day workouts would result in exposure to heat and sunlight. You will remain fit and slim but you don’t want damaged or sunburnt skin. Always use a sunscreen before you head out for your day workout. Sunscreen with zinc will help control pigmentation and inflammation.

4. Drink lots of water

Hours of working out will certainly have you reaching out for several glasses of water. However, many people tend to have a few sips and not drink plenty for their body requirement. Drinking water during and after work keeps your body hydrated making your skin glow.

5. Use a washcloth or sponge

Although loofahs are soft on your skin and produces enough lather, it does not mean that it is self-cleansing. It could be jangled with bacteria which you repeatedly rub on your body. A sponge or a washcloth bath after workout will clean your skin and prevent breakouts.
