After workout skincare routine

In the past few years, a regular workout routine became an important part of my well-being. I am not super fit and don’t even look sporty, but I like my cardio ˝me˝ time and consequently feel so much better. I usually sweat on my elliptical three times per week and here is my simple after workout skincare routine:

Makeup removing and cleansing

 

Loreal: Rare flowers cleansing gel

Nivea: Two phased eye makeup remower with cornflower

Foreo: Luna Mini 2

 Honestly, I hate this part, but it is necessary. I love applying makeup in the morning, but removing it is so boring. Anyway, for my eye makeup, I like to use two-phased micellar eye makeup removers with oils. These are the best, especially for potential glittery parts, but can feel heavy on eyelashes. They create that annoying coat, so I like to wash that off with my second cleanser. 

Although my T-zone can be super oily, I like to use cleansers for sensitive and dry skin, because I found them so much more comfortable to use. And some of them are even gentle enough for my eyelids. I often apply them with my Foreo Luna mini 2, which is super satisfying to use, because it also offers a gentle relaxing face massage. But it is not something I would use every day, because it can be too harsh for my dry cheeks. It is not a must-have for me but can be nice when removing all those nasty things from your sweaty face.

 

Cooling

Caudalie: Beauty elixir

I used to think that face mists are reserved for posh people who don’t know what else can they do with all that free time when relaxing by the pool. Face mists are now my staple because I found them so relaxing and cooling.

 

Care

Caudlie: Resveratol-Lift serum

Afrodita Cosmetics: Vitamin C anti-age serum

Afrodita Cosmetics: Q10 Boost anti-age eye cream

Once that face mist dries, it is time for an eye cream. I usually workout in the late afternoon, so I often apply something heavier that would last me during nighttime. 

And the last step is always a serum. It depends on what condition or phase is my skin. I like to switch between light and refreshing resveratrol and a bit heavier vitamin C.
