If the good weather has allowed you to stop the indoors gym routine and you have decided to take your workouts outdoors, your skincare routine may have to adapt to your new environment. When you exercise outdoors, your skin will be exposed to the sun, pollutants in the air and all sorts of dirt and debris. Aside from good exercise clothing, here is what your skin care routine should include.
Outdoor Protection
When exercising outdoors, it is important to protect your skin in many different ways. You should be wearing sunglasses, a hat, and clothing that covers most of your body. If you are going to be braving harsh sunshine as you train, you must apply sunscreen.
Ask any specialist in cosmetic production (called ผู้ผลิตเครื่องสำอาง in Thai) and they will tell you that wearing sun cream is a no-brainer when you spend a lot of time outdoors. You will be sweating profusely, so choose a sunscreen that is waterproof and will stay on as you exercise. If you are doing lengths of the pool, reapply the sunscreen after each session.
Cleansing is Vital
You will expose your skin to a harsh environment when you exercise outdoors, so make sure cleansing is part of your daily routine. After you have finished your workout, your skin will have been attacked by dirt, debris, and pollution. All of this needs to be removed from your skin to maintain its healthy look. When you have finished training, give your face a good cleanse to eliminate all the foreign substances and clear clogged pores.
Hydration
Even if you do not have dry skin, hydration is key when you exercise outdoors. Playing sports outside will dehydrate your skin and drinking plenty of water is only one part of the solution. Before you go for a run in the park or play a football match, layer on hydrating skin care products to create a barrier over your skin.
Repair Damaged Skin
When you take your workouts outdoors, it is inevitable that your skin will get damaged from the environment. A good serum which is applied daily will help to repair damaged skin and protect against the sun.
If you have decided to take advantage of the good weather and you are now exercising outdoors or playing a sport, you will need to take steps to protect your skin. Your daily skin care routine should consist of various products that are designed to protect, repair, and rejuvenate your skin, before and after each workout.
