Daily Skin Care Routine for Athletes
From weather and water to stress and sweat, the realities of being an athlete can take a toll on your skin. Try out the following daily skincare tips to ensure that your complexion stays healthy while you train.
Tackle Sweat to Prevent Breakouts
Everyone should cleanse their face at night to remove the day’s dirt and makeup, but active people may need to cleanse more often to wash away excess oil. If you don’t have time to wash your face or shower right after you train, at least wipe away the sweat to prevent it from sitting on your skin.
Soothe Dry Skin
Of course, all that washing can lead to another problem—itchy, irritated skin! A hydrating spray for dry skin is a great choice for athletes because it’s so easy to use. No lengthy skincare routine is needed. Simply give your face and body a splash of hydration before you set out for your morning run or your afternoon practice. You can also toss the bottle into a gym bag for use directly after your post-workout shower.
Protect Yourself from Sun Damage
The sun may make your complexion glow, but exposure to its rays is one of the toughest challenges your skin faces. Too much sunlight causes painful sunburn and can increase your risk of developing skin cancer. The UV rays also break down the elastin in your skin, causing sagging, stretching, and premature wrinkles.
Outdoor athletes should be sure to wear sunscreen every day. Including clean skincare serums in your daily beauty routine can also help you heal your skin and combat the aging effects of the sun.
