You’ve nailed your workout splits, got your macros in check, and even have a killer playlist to hype you up. But here’s the real question: Is your skincare routine gym-ready?

Your skin goes through a lot during workouts,sweat, friction, sun exposure, clogged pores, and post-exercise soreness. The right skincare routine can prevent all those annoying issues like body acne, sunburn, or muscle fatigue from becoming a permanent part of your gym life.

Here’s how to build the ultimate pre- and post-workout skincare routine that not only protects but helps your skin recover faster,just like your muscles do.

Pre-Workout: Protect, Prime & Prevent

Before you hit the treadmill or the turf, your skin needs to be prepared to face sweat, friction, and sun exposure. Your pre-workout skincare should focus on protection, moisture balance, and friction control.

1. Start with Friction-Free Confidence

Relief – Anti-Chafing Talc-Free Powder

There’s nothing worse than realizing halfway through your workout that your thighs, armpits, or bra line are on fire (and not in a good way). Enter Relief, your go-to chafing relief powder that’s talc-free, long-lasting, and designed for athletes.

• Rice husk powder keeps you dry and silky-smooth.

• Capryloyl Glycine & Cinnamon Bark Extract create a friction-fighting barrier with antimicrobial protection.
  

Whether it’s skin-on-skin or skin-on-sports-bra friction, this powder has your back, literally.

2. Don’t Sweat the Acne

Genie – Hypochlorous Acid Toner + Serum Spray

Let’s be honest,sweaty gym skin is a breeding ground for bacteria. Genie works like a magical shield against post-workout acne, redness, and irritation.

• Hypochlorous Acid is naturally antibacterial and calms inflammation.

• Niacinamide + Alpha Arbutin improves texture and even out skin tone.

• Hydagen Aquaporin keeps your skin hydrated without feeling sticky.
  

Quick spritz before your workout = preemptive acne control.

3. SPF That Won’t Slow You Down

Daily SPF 50 – Spray-On Sunscreen Lotion

Sunburn during your morning run? No, thank you. This spray-on SPF 50 sunscreen is non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and reapplication-friendly,aka, everything your sweaty skin needs.

• Aquaxyl locks in hydration for up to 24 hours.

• Vitamin E & Jasmine Oil soothe irritation and protect from UV damage.

• Niacinamide strengthens your skin barrier.
  

Just spray, blend, and go. Because sun protection shouldn’t take more time than your warm-up.

Post-Workout: Cleanse, Calm & Recover

After sweating it out, your skin needs a full cooldown. You wouldn’t skip your post-workout stretch, right? So don’t skip this either.

1. Cool Down the Right Way

Cool – Post-Workout Magnesium Body Wash

Your gym session is over, but your muscles are still buzzing. That’s where Cool steps in,a magnesium-enriched body wash that’s basically a spa in a bottle.

• Magnesium (Epsom Salt) soothes sore muscles and detoxifies your skin.

• Rosemary oil + Menthol improve circulation and give that satisfying cooling kick.

• Cica & Lavender oil heal micro-tears and reduce inflammation.
  

It’s not just a shower, it’s recovery therapy.

2. Repeat Your Spritz Ritual

Genie – Hypochlorous Acid Toner + Serum Spray (Again!)

Yes, again. After your shower, your skin is clean and pores are open, the perfect time to reapply Genie. It instantly calms redness, prevents breakouts, and restores hydration balance.
