Men's skincare routine for the gym

Training is good for you. Leaving sweat on your face for hours afterwards isn't.

1 / 3

Before your workout

Start with a clean face if you can. If you come from the office, a quick rinse helps remove the day's sunscreen and oil. Skip heavy creams before training; a light gel is enough if your skin feels dry. Use a clean towel and try not to touch your face with hands that just held the weights.

After training: wipe, then wash.

After your workout: the 30-second reset

  • Wash soon after training with a gentle face cleanser, not body wash. Sweat, oil and dust sitting on skin for hours is what many men notice as breakouts or rough texture.
  • Pat dry with a clean towel, don't rub.
  • Apply a light gel moisturizer. After a shower, skin can feel tight; a gel adds water back without a greasy layer.
  • Training outdoors or heading out? Put sunscreen back on.
