Hi ,

Do you exercise with makeup on? I have to admit...I'm a bit guilty of this.

You may have heard that working out is great for your skin. It boosts blood flow, delivering essential oxygen and nutrients to all your organs, including your skin. However, recent research has uncovered concerns about exercising with a full face of makeup.

In a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, researchers from Texas A&M University-San Antonio investigated the effects of wearing makeup during exercise. They applied a drugstore-brand cream foundation to the foreheads and under-eye areas of participants and left the bottom halves of their faces makeup-free. The participants then engaged in 20 minutes of treadmill running.

Here’s the results:

Moisture levels on the makeup side of the face were higher, indicating poor evaporation—a critical process for skin health during exercise.
Pores were smaller on the makeup-covered areas, hindering the skin's ability to regulate moisture and remove oil and debris.
Sebum levels were also higher on the makeup sides, potentially leading to issues like acne.

The study will be extended to include other types of foundation that contain different ingredients—such as oil-free formulations—as well as sunscreen to determine what they do to the skin during exercise.

In the meantime, think about going makeup-free during workout sessions. By allowing your skin to breathe and function optimally, you can support its natural ability to regulate temperature and maintain health.

We're here to support you on your journey to healthier skin.
