Whether you’re working out in the morning, midday, or evening, it’s imperative to keep skin cleansed and dry after each session to avoid irritation and maintain healthy skin.
Follow these steps to keep skin looking and feeling fresh.
Wash Your Face
Sweat creates oil buildup, clogging pores and trapping dead skin. You might even unknowingly be touching your face between workout sets, increasing the amount of bacteria on your skin.
Soon after your workout, wash your face to remove bacteria and prevent acne from forming. You’ll want a face wash with salicylic acid and gentle exfoliation to keep skin free from bacteria.
Great options include:
- Brickell Clarifying Gel Face Wash
- Anthony Glycolic Facial Cleanser
- Crown Shaving Co. Daily Charcoal Face Wash
- Baxter of California Sulfate-Free Daily Face Wash
Shower Off
After your workout, hit the shower! Don’t go hours post-workout with sweat and oil buildup on your skin. Waiting too long to shower traps dead skin cells and causes a number of skin issues, including acne, clogged pores, and other types of inflammation.

- Brickell All in One Wash for Men

If you’re running late or don’t have time for a proper shower, invest in individual shower packs. Not only will these prevent skin irritations, but they will provide you with a quick cleansing solution, reducing sweat, bacteria, and odour until you can properly shower. Don’t forget to moisturize after showering. This prevents skin from drying out and keeps it well hydrated.
