Prepare yourself before your workout

Before your workout, if it's in the evening, remove your makeup and cleanse your skin to eliminate all impurities and avoid clogging your pores. Then moisturize your skin to avoid tightness and discomfort . If you prefer to go out with makeup, choose a light, fluid tinted cream that lets the skin breathe. For your eyes, choose a waterproof mascara to avoid the panda effect. If your workout is outdoors, don't forget to wear an SPF suitable for your skin type .

The right actions during your workout

For hydrated skin at all times, don't forget to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout! Choose still water, in small amounts, and about every 20 minutes. For your face, a thermal mist helps soothe reactive skin and refresh you during your workout.

When it comes to your hair, say goodbye to classic elastics and opt for "telephone cord" shaped elastics: by redistributing the pressure around the ponytail unevenly, they leave no marks , do not cause headaches and do not damage the hair!

Beauty care and gestures after sport

After a workout, it's important to cleanse your skin to remove excess sebum and perspiration . To do this, choose a gentle cleansing gel such as Léonia's Organic White Tea Antioxidant Cleansing Gel. Once cleansed, moisturize the skin that has lost water and mineral salts. To soothe and deeply hydrate it, apply a serum and moisturizer of natural origin.

For the body, a hot shower can help relieve muscle tension . To further stimulate blood circulation and limit the appearance of cellulite, you can opt for an exfoliating coffee scrub . Then apply a massage oil that relaxes muscles and prevents aches and pains.

For hair care, if organizing your cardio sessions around your shampoos is too restrictive, you can use a dry shampoo which will restore volume and freshness to your roots.

Now you're ready to face the world!
