The Ultimate Dermatologist-Approved Guide to Cleansing Your Skin When Exercising: How Achillea Beauty® Can Help
Exercise is essential for a healthy lifestyle, but it can sometimes wreak havoc on your skin if you’re not careful. Sweating, increased circulation, and exposure to various environmental factors during a workout can leave your skin vulnerable to irritation, dehydration, and breakouts. Dermatologists emphasize that proper skin cleansing is crucial for maintaining a clear, balanced complexion, especially if you lead an active lifestyle.
n this guide, we’ll share dermatologist-recommended tips for cleansing your face around workouts, why it’s essential, and how Achillea Beauty’s® three-step skincare regime —specifically designed for an active lifestyle enthusiasts—can support your skin through every step of your workout routine.
Why Cleansing Is Essential When You Work Out
When you exercise, your body’s core temperature rises, leading to sweating. Sweating is your body’s natural way to cool down, but it can also lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and irritation if not properly managed. As sweat mixes with oil, bacteria, and environmental pollutants on the skin, it can cause buildup that clogs pores, leading to acne and other skin concerns.
Dermatologists recommend a three-step approach: pre-workout cleansing, intra-workout hydration, and post-workout cleansing. This helps protect the skin, balance moisture levels, and ensure impurities are effectively removed before they cause issues.
Achillea Beauty’s® Three-Step Skincare Regime for Fitness Lovers
Achillea Beauty® is the first skincare brand designed specifically for people who live active lifestyles. With three progressive, fitness-focused products, Achillea Beauty® provides a complete solution for keeping skin healthy and radiant through every phase of your workout. Here’s how each product fits into the dermatologist-recommended three-step approach:
Step 1: Pre-Workout Cleanse with Achillea Beauty’s® Micellar Water Cleanser
Dermatologist Advice on Pre-Workout Cleansing
Before exercising, it’s essential to start with a clean slate. Skipping a pre-workout cleanse can lead to makeup, sunscreen, and environmental debris mixing with sweat, which clogs pores and traps bacteria. Dermatologists suggest using a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip the skin but effectively removes impurities.
How Achillea’s® Micellar Water Cleanser Helps
Achillea Beauty’s® Micellar Water Cleanser is specially formulated for pre- and post-workout use. This cleanser uses micellar technology, where micelles—tiny cleansing molecules—act like magnets to lift away dirt, oil, and makeup without the need for rinsing. Unlike harsh cleansers, micellar water respects the skin’s natural barrier, so your skin stays balanced and ready for exercise.
Kick some dirt is a convenient, gentle way to prepare your skin for a workout without the need for a full sink routine. It’s perfect for the gym bag and can be applied with a cotton pad to refresh and cleanse the skin in seconds without water. By using Achillea’s® Micellar Water Cleanser pre-workout, you’re giving your skin a fresh start, allowing it to breathe freely during exercise and minimising the risk of clogged pores.
Step 2: Intra-Workout Hydration with A Drop of Magic Facial Mist
Dermatologist Advice on Keeping Skin Hydrated During Exercise
During a workout, especially an intense one, your skin can lose hydration due to sweating and increased circulation. Dermatologists recommend using a hydrating facial mist to keep the skin refreshed and moisturized without disrupting the workout. A good mist can help balance moisture levels, cool the skin and even protect against environmental pollutants.
How Achillea’s A Drop of Magic Facial Mist Helps
Achillea Beauty’s® A Drop of Magic Facial Mist is a unique product designed to be activated by heat, making it perfect for workouts. This mist is packed with hydrating and soothing ingredients, like hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts, that help keep your skin balanced during exercise.
What makes A Drop of Magic truly innovative is that it works with your body’s natural heat and moisture levels to deliver hydration right when your skin needs it most. This facial mist also comes in a compact, norm-defying pouch that can attach to your water bottle or be worn with a strap, making it easy to carry during a workout.
Applying the A Drop of Magic mist mid-workout keeps your skin feeling refreshed and prevents dehydration, especially if you’re working out in heated environments. By using this product during your workout, you’re actively helping your skin maintain hydration levels, which is crucial for a healthy, glowing complexion.
Step 3: Post-Workout Cleanse with Achillea Beauty’s® 2-Minute In-Shower Mask
Dermatologist Advice on Post-Workout Cleansing
After you exercise, it’s essential to cleanse your skin as soon as possible to remove sweat, oil, and impurities that may have built up. Skipping a post-workout cleanse can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. We are recommending to use Kick some dirt again to cleanse your face post workout and prepare it for the final step – hydration and glow.
How Achillea’s® 2-Minute In-Shower Mask Helps
Achillea Beauty’s® 2-Minute In-Shower Mask is the perfect post-workout skincare solution. This mask is designed to be used in the shower, making it incredibly convenient for a quick and effective cleanse. Packed with nourishing and detoxifying ingredients, the mask clears impurities while hydrating and calming the skin.
The 2-Minute In-Shower Mask is easy to apply right after your workout. The steam from the shower opens up pores, allowing the mask’s active ingredients to penetrate deeply and provide a thorough cleanse. Simply apply the mask, let it sit for at least two minutes and rinse off. In just a couple of minutes, you’ll have clear, refreshed skin that’s ready to take on the rest of your day.
