Skincare Products for An Active Lifestyle
Gentle Face Wash
Use a gentle cleanser that leaves your skin clean and refreshed without stripping the skin’s natural oils. The SkinBase Purifying Gel Cleanser is great for removing makeup, impurities and sweat as part of your daily skincare routine. It is suitable for all skin types and has gentle soothing properties.
Lightweight Hydration
Focus on toning and moisturising after your workout. Aim to use products with beneficial, noncomedogenic ingredients. The SkinBase Soothing Toner spritz is perfect for skin post-exercise. This hydrating toner balances and soothes skin – and you can even pop it in your fridge for a more cooling spritz. Complement it with the SkinBase Hydration Max to nourish and moisturise your post-exercise glow. This rich nourishing cream restores moisture and helps to relieve dryness. It contains a blend of soothing, anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Sun Protection
If exercising outdoors, always apply sunscreen. The importance of sun protection cannot be underestimated. It protects skin and prevents damage from UV rays. The SkinBase Daily Protect SPF shields skin from harmful radiation and protects the skin barrier at the same time. You can get it in our shop.
Regular Exfoliation
Refresh your skin with regular exfoliation. For best results combine these treatments with our recommended SkinBase products. The best treatments to have for an active lifestyle are:
SkinBase Hydro for a liquid exfoliation:
This multistep Hydro treatment helps to increase cell turnover and boost natural collagen production. Using AHA and BHA acids, the dead skin cells lift away to resurface uneven skin and clear pores. Exfoliation prepares the skin for our range of serums which contain active ingredients to suit your skin’s needs. By applying the serum with a vacuum action, the ingredients absorb deeper into the skin. This improves blood flow and circulation – perfect for a post-exercise glow.
SkinBase MD for a physical exfoliation:
To keep skin in tiptop condition before and after exercise, SkinBase microdermabrasion is a good choice. Using exfoliating crystals to resurface skin and a vacuum to suck up any debris, your skin will be ready for action. The dual action boosts collagen production and stimulates blood flow. With each treatment your therapist reaches deeper levels to clear pores and smooth skin. Your skin will look so good you won’t even need makeup – before or after your work out.
Skin Repair
Being active can mean skin needs repairing. The best ingredients for skin repair are peptides, niacinamide and vitamin C.
- Peptides are often compared to collagen. They encourage youthful-looking skin and protect the skin barrier.
- Niacinamide helps to reduce discolouration, tighten pores and improve elasticity.
- Vitamin C is full of powerful antioxidants that benefit the skin by reducing inflammation and brightening skin tone.
These are all great ingredients to help restore balance and support skin recovery. Check out our shop for the perfect skincare products for an active lifestyle.
