Totally Steal These Gym Skincare Routine Tips From a Skincare Guru

 

How does a K-beauty skincare guru care for her skin while working out? Very thoughtfully. After all, sweating regularly in the gym isn’t exactly skin’s best friend. Nab these genius tips from a workout addict (whether you’re in or out of the gym).

_____________________________________________________________________

I have two great addictions in my life: skincare and the gym. If you read my previous post, you’ll know that I’ve become one of those women who take #sweatyselfies daily and are a bit addicted to getting my workout on. I am also obsessed with making sure my skin looks and feels the best it can at all times. As a result, I’ve developed a gym skincare regimen that helps keep me glowing on and off the treadmill.

1. Don’t over-cleanse

Let’s start with my schedule. I actually schedule my workouts to coincide with when I need to wash my face. I know, I know — this sounds insane, but hear me out.

When I was training in Phuket, I realized I was washing my face too much, and it made my skin tight, dehydrated, and super acne-prone. If I work out too late in the afternoon, I have to wash my face in the morning before I work out to remove my morning/early afternoon makeup/dirt/sunscreen, and then wash it again after I workout. If I have something else to do after the gym, I have to put on makeup again and take it all off before I go to bed, and that’s just too much face washing for one day.

So now, I work out as early as I possibly can so I don’t have to wash my face a bajillion times a day.

2. Keep it minimal

I have two rules when it comes to my gym skincare routine: absolutely no makeup at the gym, and I have to have a freshly cleansed face. I sweat like a crazy person, and I cannot stand to know that my face is dirty and sweaty. I like to focus on making sure my face is properly moisturized, but not so much so that I have tons of product running into my eyes. I used to put make up earlier on my skin whenever I went for a workout and this spoiled my skin because my skin was not able to breathe, but now things will be a little different. I recommend the best antiperspirant for excessive sweating for my body too. I sweat a lot and I feel very sticky.

So in the morning before I go to the gym, this is what I do:

1. I cleanse with a cleansing water like Son&Park Beauty Water or Thank You Farmer Cleansing Water. Sometimes, I use a non-foaming cleanser like the Troiareuke Acsen Oil Cut Cleansing.

2. Then I use a lightweight emulsion like the Hyggee Balance One Step Facial Essence or the Su:m37 Water-full Gel Lotion.

3. Walk to the gym and get ready to kill another workout.

Yup. That’s it. Two pre-gym steps and then I’m out the door.

ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Reviews

It’s been 2 months since ResMed began shipping their AirMini Travel CPAP machines to suppliers. ResMed’s entry into the travel CPAP market has given the travel-CPAP ‘niche’ a major shake-up. I could imagine Transcend and HDM – the manufacturers of the most popular travel CPAP machines shaking in their loafers. The main appeal of the AirMini device is it’s portability – it’s size makes it the smallest CPAP machine on the market. With that – let’s dive into things and see what people have been saying about these units. Introduction to the ResMed AirMini AutoSet CPAP Machine The AirMini has featured within the top-selling CPAP machines overall on many of the online retailers websites since its release. This is significant, as the travel CPAP machines typically occupy a small corner of the demand and are only for those that can afford to purchase a second, travel-specific CPAP machine. This suggests that many people are actually choosing the AirMini as their prima...
