SKN by Lexy Jordan

As so many of us kickstart 2024 by sweating it out. Here’s a great post-workout skincare playbook!

👚Gear up in breathable fabrics. Opt for moisture-wicking clothing during your workout to minimize friction and irritation. Your skin will thank you later.

👋 Hands off the face: Avoid touching your face during and after a workout. Our hands can harbor bacteria, this is especially true when sharing weights at the gym.

🏋️ Post-workout, cleanse your skin pronto to wash away sweat, bacteria, and potential pore-cloggers. A gentle cleanser is your best workout buddy.

💧 A toner can rebalance your skin’s pH and keep it feeling fresh. Look for one with soothing ingredients to calm post-exercise redness.

💦 Rehydrate your skin with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Even if you’re not basking in the sun, post-workout is no time to skip the sunscreen. Shield your skin from harmful UV rays and maintain that healthy glow.

🚰 Keep your body hydrated by sipping water throughout your workout and the day. Commit to these post-workout rituals, and your skin will glow with the radiance of a well-earned sweat session! 💪

Ever noticed how your acne seems to ‘shout’ a little louder after you’ve given it some unwelcome attention? 🚫🤚

Here’s a gentle reminder: Your acne is far less noticeable than you think, especially if you resist the urge to touch it. When we poke, prod, or pick at acne, we’re not only making it more prominent but also risking further irritation or even scarring.

✨ The Power of Patience: Understandably, it’s tempting to intervene, but patience is your skin’s best friend. Letting your skin heal naturally or with professional treatments keeps it calmer and less conspicuous.

✨ Invisible to Others: Remember, what might look like a glaring issue in the mirror is often hardly noticeable to others. Your skin’s imperfections don’t define your beauty or how others see you.

✨ Seek Professional Care: If acne is a persistent concern, professional guidance can make all the difference. As an esthetician, I can help you find the right treatments and products for your unique skin.

So next time you’re tempted to ‘fix’ a spot, take a deep breath, step back, and trust your skin’s natural healing process. You’re beautifully you, blemishes and all. 💖
