Dermatologs explained that the choice to apply skincare before working out depends on both the product used and skin type. Dr Sunil Kumar Prabhu, Consultant Dermatolog and Aesthetic Physician at Aster RV Hospital, Bangalore, highlighted the importance of applying sunscreen before working out outdoors.
“You can use mouriser on dry skin, but your choice should be gel-based or oil-free products, which provide rapid absorption. During exercise, the combination of sweat with heavy creams or makeup products creates a risk of breakouts and skin irritation,” he said, adding that, “This condition affects people who have oily skin or acne-prone skin with Acne Vulgaris as the primary skin disorder. To reduce this effect, you should avoid applying thick makeup products and should create a no-makeup look.”
Dr Prabhu further shared ways to protect the skin barrier during exercise, especially to prevent acne, irritation, or dehydration. He advised beginning with a gentle cleanser, followed a light-weight mouriser, and breathable sunscreen. “Post-workout care is just as important,” he stressed.
“A soothing mouriser needs to be applied after that, together with products which contain hyaluronic acid or ceramides for restoring hydration and repairing the skin barrier. Body acne develops from friction, which can be prevented wearing clothing that allows airflow while absorbing moure. The small habits which people practice consently will maintain their skin balance while building their resance against exercise-related skin problems,” Dr Prabhu added.Story continues below this ad
