Are you going to a workout? What cosmetics to take with you to make your stay in the gym more comfortable for your skin? Putting the sports bag together.
Cleansing wipes
During physical exertion, the skin begins to actively release sweat and sebum, so it’s easy to imagine the consequences: natural secretions, mixed with the remains of decorative cosmetics, will clog pores. The formation of sebaceous plugs is fraught with inflammation, and there it is not far from acne.
The cleansing procedure must be repeated after class – to remove all the same sweat and sebum.
You can take with you a washing gel, micellar water, milk, but special wipes are more compact and more functional.
Cleansing wipes for the face and area around the eyes “Endless freshness”, L’Oréal Paris, with rose and lotus extracts soothe the skin, reduce discomfort, moisturize and restore.
Shower gel
All of the above applies not only to the skin of the face, but also to the body. Before exercise, you should free the skin from everyday pollution and wash off the deodorant – so as not to interfere with the work of the sweat glands. After training, the shower is taken again. Use a mild moisturizer that won’t dry out your skin with frequent washing.
The refreshing essential oil in its composition will help bring you to your senses and recharge your batteries for the rest of the day.

Shampoo
The scalp during active physical exertion also releases sweat and fat. If you have time after a workout, wash your hair with a refreshing shampoo – get rid of itching and discomfort, return your hair to a neat look and volume.
For oily scalp use products with selenium, zinc, clay, tea tree oil and rosemary.
For dry – with panthenol, niacinamide, allantoin, ceramides and nourishing natural oils.
Remember that shampoo should be applied to the scalp, and conditioner should be applied along the entire length of the hair, slightly stepping back from the roots.

Modeling cream
Beauticians have noticed that going to the gym improves the effect of some skin care products, in particular, anti-cellulite products with a warming or cooling effect. All due to the fact that during physical activity metabolism improves, blood rushes to the tissues, saturating them with oxygen and useful substances. Skin with open pores gratefully absorbs the products applied at this moment. Why not take advantage of this?
Modeling creams can be applied both before and after training.
Firming Body Milk “Ultra Elasticity”, Garnier promotes skin drainage thanks to caffeine, while grapefruit, kiwi and apple concentrates tighten and tone.
Concentrate to reduce visible cellulite Celluli Eraser, Biotherm contains caffeine and coralline algae extract, which normalize blood circulation and have a drainage effect, which helps to smooth the skin in problem areas.
Deodorant
After you’ve worked out and taken a shower, you can put on deodorant and go about your business without worrying about wet underarm stains and bad smell. The main thing is to choose the appropriate format:
just deodorant copes with odor, but not with humidity;
antiperspirant limits the production of sweat;
ball does not stain clothes, but takes time to dry;
spray dries quickly, but the effect of it is short-lived;
cream or stick suitable for people with hyperhidrosis.
