1. Always wash your face.
Have you ever forgotten to wash your face after a run and allowed the sweat to dry? Notice how hours later, if you go to wipe your cheek, you’ll see how perspiration cakes onto your skin. This can cause breakouts and irritation. That’s why beauty writer and content creator Matt Woodcox says it’s important to wash your face ASAP post-workout, even when you’re in a rush.
Because doing your entire face-cleansing regimen isn’t always possible at the gym, he carries Bioderma Sensibio H20 and Bioderma Sensibio H20 Wipes in his gym bag to ensure he never has to skip this all-too-important step. “I like to use the wipe first, then go in with the liquid on a cotton round just to make sure I get as much of the sweat off my face as possible before I am able to wash my face. The reason I find this effective is because it’s almost like a mini post-workout double cleanse,” he explains.
