Let's talk about professional athletes. Those who sweat for a living are bound to have a precise and meticulous grooming routine, from the number of times they wash their face in a day to the personal care products they use on a daily basis. Hygiene-wise, being physically active entails so much more than just a quick post-game shower.
Having said that, the same cannot be said for average guys who lead a similarly active lifestyle. For one, they may not have the luxury of time or money to really tend to their health and grooming needs. If you share this sentiment, here are three things you need to start paying attention to before, during, or after a workout.
1. Being exposed to the sun
Here's something regular runners or bikers may not know: A mere 15 minutes of sun exposure is enough for it to have damaging effects on your skin. This is something you shouldn't take lightly; the harmful UVA and UVB rays can ultimately cause skin cancer. What you need is a sunscreen (SPF 50) that's non-greasy, water-resistant, and able to reach oft-forgotten areas like the back of the neck.
2. Washing your hair too often or not washing your hair enough
Sweat itself isn't bad for your hair, but everything changes once it becomes exposed to a certain kind of bacteria—something that's inevitable given the nature of sports. Those who don't have the time and energy to wash their hair mostly resort to dry shampoo or mere water, but that may not be enough. When your hair starts to feel heavy, overly greasy, and emit a foul odor, you may be overdue for a wash. In this case, don't skip the shampoo and conditioner.
3. Not focusing enough on facial care
You spend a lot of time perfecting every curve and muscle on your body, but how often do you take the time to focus on your face? Active people may be more prone to breakouts since they're more exposed to sweat and bacteria. Believe it or not, something as tiny as a tube of BB cream makes the biggest difference when it comes to keeping your face oil- and dirt-free after a game or workout.
Blackwater BB Cream for Men (P180) does just that—it has a natural coverage that helps out in minimizing the appearance of blemishes and uneven skin tone, and has a lightweight, matte-finish that helps keep you shine-free for hours.
Blackwater BB Cream for Men is available via Lazada and Shopee. Follow Blackwater on Facebook to know more.
