SAVE YOUR SKIN AT THE GYM!

Wouldn’t it be great to have clear skin and a great figure?! Well, the team at London Real Skin can help with the skin stuff, going to the gym will then be down to you! Below are their top tips for looking after your skin whilst working out….

Tip one

Remove makeup especially if you are prone to spots, when your face sweats pores can become clogged by makeup causing a bacteria build up leading to unwanted pimples.

Tip two

Drink plenty of water before, during and after your workout. This is good for the whole body but will keep skin radiant and help combat dryness.

Tip three

Use a sweat band to keep hair off the face, hair can be oily and can cause spots around the face.

Tip four

Clean gym apparatus with anti-bacterial cleaner (usually in the gym) to avoid dirt/bacteria on the skin.

Tip five

Take a clean towel with you to wipe sweat to minimise blocking pores.

Treatment suggestions:

Treatment one

Soprano Laser Hair Removal is a popular treatment to remove hair from the armpits, legs and bikini line for women. Far more effective than shaving and waxing which can irritate the skin when sweat produces salt  which causes irritation to the skin and can cause in grown hairs (www.londonrealskin.com).

Treatment two

I would also suggest a NeoStrata Clarifying Peel with Mandellic Acid and Citric Acid every few months if you are prone to acne or spots. To help decongestion the skin, disinfect and help with irritation sweat can cause (www.londonrealskin.com).
