Why you need them:  One of the biggest adversaries that contributes to workout breakouts is wearing makeup to them gym.

As hard as it might be to stomach the idea of going barefaced in front of your fellow sweaty comrades, you really don’t stand a chance of keeping acne-prone skin healthy through sweat, stress, AND a layer of chemicals. Start by swiping off the day’s contour before hitting the front door with a gentle and non-abrasive micellar water wipe.

Why you need it:  While it isn’t true that toxins are expelled through your pores when you sweat, you do encounter a lot of problematic bacteria when working out in a gym and sweat holds it all close to the sensitive pores on your face.

Using a benzoyl peroxide product is your best option to combat sweat induced breakouts, but you will need to phase it in slowly to your routine or risk looking like a tomato, as benzoyl peroxide is very potent. Start by using a 5% benzoyl peroxide concentrate every three days (after cleansing and before working up a sweat), and work your way up to daily use over a few weeks.

To get rid of underarm sweating Stop Sweat Fix is a good and effective. It is one of popular anti sweat sprays for gym goers, employees and those who are suffering from the hyperhidrosis.

Why you need it: Excessive sweat production during workouts zaps hydration levels that need to be immediately replenished to avoid an overproduction of oil and a subsequent breakout.

Cream-based moisturizers can irritate flushed skin, so a product with a glycerin or water base is more ideal. Dr. Jart’s hyaluronic acid dense formula will trap surface level moisture in place while cooling and refreshing post-sweat skin.

Apply right after your shower post workout, while your skin is still damp.
