☀️ As the weather warms up, heat and sweat can make breakouts more likely. Sweating from workouts or time outdoors can mix with oil and bacteria, leading to clogged pores and acne flare-ups. The good news is you can stay active and keep your skin clear with a few simple habits.
Skincare tips before, during, and after your workout:
➡️ Remove makeup before exercising
➡️ Wear clean workout clothes
➡️ Apply an oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen if you are heading outdoors
➡️ Use a clean towel to gently blot sweat
➡️ Shower and cleanse your face as soon as possible after your workout
Consistent skincare can help prevent breakouts, even as the heat picks up. Need personalized guidance for acne-prone skin? 📞 Call Midlothian Dermatology at (804) 378-3048 to schedule a consultation.
