According to a study by the team from Korea National University of Education, wearing heavy makeup such as foundation while exercising can potentially cause skin problems such as clogged pores due to sweat accumulation. Therefore, it is recommended to choose lighter makeup or oil-free products to maintain skin health during exercise.

Makeup can clog pores and cause increased dryness on the skin. It is recommended to remove makeup before sleeping because it can mix with oil and dead skin cells, clogging pores and promoting acne formation. The same applies when we wear makeup while exercising. This recent study also shows that wearing makeup while exercising can make the skin even drier.

"For mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick, they are not considered much of a problem when exercising because they are not applied to the entire face. For more detailed information on their effects, more research is needed to see the impact of specific types of cosmetics on the skin during exercise."

After exercising, clean the skin (face and body) to remove excess oil, sweat, bacteria, and residual products that can cause acne or folliculitis. In addition, when exercising outdoors, remember to protect the skin from sunlight. Use minimum SPF 30, sunglasses, a hat, and don't forget to apply sunscreen to the ears, neck, and lips.

Drink plenty of water while exercising, which will help keep your skin hydrated but also maintain the body's water balance. Friend Dream Source: Healthline/Report: Aykaputri Amalia Rahmani
