We all know it is a bad idea, but we do it anyway. Who has time to wash her face before a workout? Isn’t it enough that we squeeze a workout in?
Here are 4 tips for workout friendly make up:
- Don’t wear heavy foundations, concealers, or blush at the gym. Besides blocking your pores and irritating your skin, it can streak. Streaky makeup is not flattering on anyone.
- If you can’t take the makeup off before the workout make sure to wash your face after the workout! Getting hot and sweaty during a workout will open your pores making your face easier to clean, a bit like getting a steam facial.
- Waterproof eye makeup. Eyeliner and mascara will run faster than you do. Not to mention it stings when it gets in your eyes!
- Going outside? SPF 30 or higher is a must! A water resistant formula is a good idea too.
