Post workout routine : simple steps for radiant beauty

Essential steps to take care of your skin after sports

To put into practice a good skincare routine after sports and amplify the benefits of your session up to your face, here are some simple and quick steps to follow:

Skin cleansing

Essential. Start by cleaning your face to remove sweat, dirt, and bacteria accumulated during exercise. Use a gentle cleanser like Beau Domaine’s The Cleansing Emulsion, suited to your skin type to avoid irritation and preserve the natural hydrolipidic barrier of the skin.

Refreshing that feels good

After cleansing, apply a thermal water mist or a soothing toner (such as a floral water) to refresh, calm redness, and rebalance the skin's pH. These products help soothe the skin and prepare the epidermis to better absorb moisturizing care.

Essential hydration

Hydration is crucial to replenish moisture lost during exercise. Apply a hydrating serum rich in ingredients like hyaluronic acid (e.g., The Serum from Beau Domaine), followed by a fluid moisturizer (e.g., The Fluid Cream from Beau Domaine) to seal in moisture. If you have very dry skin, opt for richer formulas.

Protection is key

If you've exercised outdoors or are going out after your workout, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen. It helps protect your skin from UV damage, which can accelerate skin aging and exacerbate skin problems.

Invest in targeted care

If needed, use targeted products to address specific issues such as acne or redness. Concealers containing anti-inflammatory ingredients or local treatments can be helpful for problem areas.

Expert tips

Remember to drink plenty of water, before, during, and after your workouts. Internal hydration should be a daily priority to maintain youthful skin and prevent aging signs. Eat foods rich in antioxidants like berries, nuts, seeds, or leafy green vegetables; they can also help improve your skin’s health from the inside.
