Quick, lightweight, and effective is the theme of this 3-step skincare routine for sweat. Whether you’re about to whip up a meal, hit the gym, or punch the clock, this minimalistic routine will save you time and provide an extra layer of protection to combat environmental aggressors.
The Sweat Routine
01
iS Clinical | Warming Honey Cleanser
$45
Gyms are filled with hatin’ a*s bacteria. Ready to smack a pimple mid-forehead before a dinner date. This rich honey gel-cleanser made with papaya enzymes and green tea extracts is my go-to before and after CrossFit. Honey is known for its antibacterial and antiseptic properties, benefiting oily (THAT ME!), acne-prone, and scarred skin. It leaves the skin smooth and even.
Tip: While in the shower, let the honey cleanser sit on your face while you bathe to double as a mask.
02
Youth to the People | Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Face Mist
$42
We’re all about adaptogens, baby. This fine adaptogenic face mist is essential to the sweat routine because it is calming and soothing. Its lightweight and fragrance-free attributes minimize skin irritation while working out in a mask. Its proprietary adaptogen blend of ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and reishi addresses irritation, dehydration, stress, and exhaustion of the skin.
Tip: A little goes a long way. Before a workout or in between Zoom calls, mist to freshen up your moisturizer or mood. Try misting your neck and shoulders.
03
Youth to the People | Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream
$58
Made with Youth to the People’s proprietary superfoods blend of kale, spinach, green tea, alfalfa, and vitamins C, E, K, this fluffy moisturizing gel cream is light-weight and ultra-hydrating. It is packed with phytonutrients and nourishing antioxidants to protect the skin from oxidative stress which can cause skin wrinkling.
Tip: Use morning and night. Place the cream in the fridge beforehand for a chilled facial massage.
