SKINCARE FOR FITNESS LOVERS

Exercising can give your skin that healthy glow, but it can also trigger breakouts if you don't maintain a proper skincare regimen. Its easy to forget about the importance of incorporating a pre- and post-sweat skin care routine when you're just trying to fit a workout into an already busy schedule.

Sweat and dirt can clog pores during a workout, leading to breakouts and blackheads. Fortunately, there are ways that you can keep your skin looking clear and bright, even after a hard workout. To make sure you have a healthy skin along with a healthy body, follow these skincare tips before, after and during your workouts.
This is exactly where the The Ponds Skin Fit Range comes to play. Encompassing two pre-workout and three post-workout products tailored for fitness enthusiasts, these protect your skin from external aggressors and clean, cool, soothe your skin.

Before You Hit the Gym

1. Ponds Skin Fit High Performance Pre Work Out Pollution Defence Cream

When the air quality dips, its crucial to pick a product that protects you from pollution. Enter Pond's SKINFIT Pre-Workout High Performance Pollution Defence Creme that helps neutralize and repair pollution damage by protecting your skin from dirt, dust, particles and other nasties.

Brownie points for the light texture that doesn't clog your pores or block your skin from the natural process of sweating.

2. Ponds Skin Fit Pre Work Out High Performance Sunscreen SPF50

UV rays are the leading cause of skin-related problems due to sun exposure, so lather up with SPF if you're taking your workout outside. Keep in mind that an oily formula mixed with sweat will end up clogging your pores, so stick to a lightweight formula like our SPF50 broad spectrum sunscreen to stay protected even on the sunniest days.

Make sunscreen your best friend. The Pond's SkinFit Pre-Workout High Performance Sunscreen with SPF 50 PA+++ UVA UVB helps protect your skin from five signs of sun damage aka fine lines, dark spots, tanning, redness and uneven skin tone. Not to forget, its water resistant and does not clog your pores. A complete win-win.

During Your Sweat Session

3. Ponds Skin Fit Post Workout Instant Cooldown Wipes

Get rid of the dripping sweat from your face as soon as you can to avoid bacteria from settling in your pores. Dont wipe or rub your face against your clothes as it can lead to rashes and itchiness. Instead, use a wipe and pat on the skin to get the sweat off.
These instant refreshing wipes are just what you need. Not only do they help remove oil, sweat and dirt to keep your skin clean after an intense workout session, but also make for a quick fix when you are on the move. Plus, these are multi-taskers and can be used for removing makeup as well.

Post Workout 

4. Ponds Skin Fit Post Workout Cooldown Scrub Facewash

The first thing you do post your workout is wash your face. Dont sit with a sweaty face and let bacteria trap in your skin. Splash cold water and wash your face with face cleanser to get rid of sweat, dirt and oil.

Working out with makeup is a complete no-no. It blocks your pores and sweat glands which makes it hard for your skin to breathe while you work out. Wipe off all the product residue from last night and cleanse your face with a mild face wash before you hit the gym. As you work out, you sweat and pores open up; however, if your skin doesn't cool down soon after, its open day for aggressors and pollutants. This is exactly where this product comes in. The pH balanced cleanser soothes burning sensation, cools down your skin and provides instant relief. Plus, it also helps remove dirt, dust, oil, pollutants and dullness. Result: Refreshed and healthy skin in jiffy!

5. Ponds Skin Fit Post Workout Cooldown Hydrating Gel

Excessive sweating can dehydrate and thud dry out your skin. Your skin feels as if it is burning due to release of heat from the body during workout. Take a cold water shower as it closes the pores and cools down the skin. Pat dry and moisturize with a cooling gel and moisturizer. So after you have cleansed your face, apply your moisturizer and lip balm, as your lips can feel dry and chapped after a workout.

Looking for a product that de-stresses, hydrates and re-balances your skin post your hectic workout? Well make this your constant. The light-weight non-sticky gel moisturizer protects skin from dryness, cools down skin and provides oodles of hydration by replenishing lost moisture. Oh, and it will give you that elusive post-workout glow.


Exercise is good for your body and your mind, but it can easily wreak havoc to the appearance of your skin if you don't care for it properly. Fortunately, these easy pre- and post-workout skincare tips can help ensure that your skin stays healthy, beautiful and glowing even on your hardest gym days.
