Do make-up and sports go hand in hand ?

 

Do make-up and sports go hand in hand ? 

Women are more and more fond of sports, regardless of their age. Whether you are a teenager, young adult or senior, you want to keep in shape and in shape by practicing sports regularly. But how do you reconcile the intense efforts of training with a beauty routine? Active life often forces women to go to the gym after their day at the office and therefore they are often made up since the morning. Do make-up and sport go hand in hand? Can the application of cosmetic products harm the regeneration of the skin? Fortunately, solutions exist to optimize our daily lives and our rhythm of life. So, can we wear makeup on our way to sports? Here are some tips for combining the two wisely.

Before make-up, treatment

Before talking about beauty, it is worth addressing the question of skin care. To avoid dark circles, a drawn face, and a livid complexion, it is advisable to give yourself at least one hour of treatment per week. A scrub is recommended twice a week to prevent the skin from peeling and dead cells clogging the pores. Indeed, it nourishes the skin and helps restore its radiance. If you have dry skin, a treatment mask will be recommended twice a week, to be left on all night.

Make up and care for each skin type before sport

When you wear make-up every day, scrupulous make-up removal is essential every evening. Thanks to the advent of telecommuting, many women are enjoying one to two days, sometimes more, of working remotely. Why not decide to go to the gym these days? You could give your skin a break by not wearing makeup for a whole day, two or three, depending on your sporting rhythm. However, there is no question of ignoring care and hydration!

Special sports make-up

You don't have the opportunity to work from home? Can't go out without make-up ? However, is it impossible to give up your sporting activity? We have solutions! All you have to do is invest in cosmetic products that will adapt perfectly to physical activity. Here are some examples:

100% waterproof eyeshadow

Thanks to their waterproof texture, these eye shadows are perfect for athletes ! They are water resistant and do not leak. Make-up can therefore be applied before a sports class. To avoid any problem in case of contact with the eyes, we advise you to choose eye shadows made from natural, organic or vegan ingredients. They exist in many shades and can offer an iridescent or matte finish depending on your desires.

Cosmetics and sport

A special sports mascara

Mascara is the essential product for breathtaking eyes. It can be applied before a sports activity, but as with eye shadow, the ideal is to choose a waterproof mascara made from natural components. The exertion can make you sweat and by using regular mascara you could quickly end up with the panda look. In addition, the chemical ingredients contained in some mascaras can cause burns or inflammation in the eye area.

Bet on branded products, known on the market, dermatologically tested and free of any controversial ingredients. You will find what you are looking for in physical or online cosmetics stores, in pharmacies or drugstores and in organic stores. Some mascaras are designed to moisturize the fiber of the eyelashes, and hold even under a draft or in contact with water. Ideal for sportswomen!

A touch of lipstick for an immediate healthy glow effect

A touch of lipstick won't interfere with sports and will help you feel beautiful and good about yourself. Gloss may also suffice. Choose a long-wearing lipstick so it doesn't fade while working out. It's ideal for busy women who can't afford to reapply lipstick between leaving the office and arriving at the gym.

Exercise while wearing makeup

Avoid foundation on sports days

We have seen that makeup may not interfere with the practice of a sport, however it is better to avoid foundation on the days when you go to the sport. Indeed, this type of product can clog the pores and prevent them from working properly. By sweating, the foundation will run and stain your clothes unsightly. Prefer a veil of loose powder for the days when you practice a sporting activity.

Specific advice for practicing a sport outdoors

To protect your lips and eyelashes from UV during an outdoor training session, there is a special product to protect your makeup outdoors. It protects and hydrates the skin in a single step. It is posed as a sunscreen, and it is advisable to apply it half an hour before the sport. It is available in several shades: for light, medium and dark skin.

The anti-UV moisturizer is also mandatory to protect all skin types from the harmful rays of the sun. It is designed for outdoor use, and it acts against ambient pollution. This make-up base protects your pores and hydrates your skin. It will also help hold your makeup.

You will understand: makeup and sport go hand in hand, provided you follow a few rules. Before thinking about make-up, skincare is above all mandatory to purify, moisturize and boost the radiance of your skin. Then, all parts of the face can be made up before sport, but with specific products. It is therefore necessary to be able to modify your beauty routine somewhat on the days when you practice a sport.
