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.

The Powerful Impact of Crafting on Child’s Emotional Development

  Emotional Benefits of Crafting Children’s minds and bodies develop swiftly as they grow and explore their surroundings. Arts & crafts are wonderful instruments that can help with this development.  Kids craft kits  allow them to get a hands-on experience where they can tangibly express themselves and immerse themselves in a haven of vibrant colours, varied textures, and boundless creativity! Boosting Self-esteem and Confidence Crafting involves the use of one’s hands to produce something by combining many different materials.

ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Machine Preview

Please Note – The ResMed AirMini machine has since been released with some reviews already. Click here to view them. ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Machine Preview ResMed; arguably the market leader in CPAP machines, has announced their entry into the travel CPAP machine market with the AirMINI. There are a number of rumours circulating about the design of the machine. Now, it must be said that I cannot speak to the authenticity of the picture shown. But it looks strikingly similar to the descriptions of the machine from those who attended the launch. A few CPAP suppliers from the Sydney area were present, and some leaks (not mask leaks, excuse the pun) about the size, shape and features of the machine have slipped out of some not-so-tightly sealed lips. It is a little secret that ResMed have been looking at entering into the lucrative travel-CPAP market for some time. In fact, when I visited ResMed HQ five years ago, part of their development team was busy pulling ...
