Sport: which is the best beauty routine?
Whether before, during or after sport, an overview of the options for looking your best even after a heavy workout.
After playing sports, your complexion is glowing, your cheeks are flushed from the effort... but your skin can also be shiny and your hair in a mess. Here's some advice to ensure you finish your workout looking like a million dollars!
Open-air workout
There's nothing like an outdoor workout, with the sound of birdsong and the sky bright above you. But outdoors also means UV light: it's essential to protect your skin from sun damage with the right sunscreen. Super Soin Solaire Visage SPF 30 protects skin from UV light and dryness, and moisturises and nourishes it too. For even greater protection apply Super Stick Solaire SPF 50+ Teinté (168540) to sensitive regions: nose, lips, cheeks, ears and the area around the eyes. Don't forget to protect your neck (both front and back), hands, décolleté - all exposed to the sun - with Super Soin Solaire Crème Soyeuse Corps SPF 30.
Do you live in town? You need intelligent skincare that both hydrates the skin and protects it from pollution. Sisleyouth Anti-Pollution ticks both boxes and offers a third action: it removes signs of tiredness and energises the skin. At the heart of its formula is a powerful cocktail of antioxidant, anti-free radicals and protective active ingredients (extracts of Buckwheat seeds, Ginkgo biloba, Peas and Vitamin E acetate) that protect the skin from the damaging effects of all types of pollutants and makes it more resistant*. Massage its fresh texture onto the skin both morning and evening to protect it.
Although skincare is now part of the beauty routine, hair is often overlooked. However, your hair is also weakened by pollution and exposure to the sun, in the same way, UV light can affect the beauty of your hair colour. Enriched with Sunflower seed extract, Artichoke leaf extract, UVA and UVB light filters, Fluide Protecteur Cheveux acts like a protective conditioning shield against UV light. The added advantage? Its light silky spray texture, to be applied before exposure, delicately perfumes the hair with woody and citrus notes of verbena, lemon, peach blossom and amber.
After a workout...
Once your session is finished, it's time for some pleasure! The pleasure of an energising shower with Enerizing Foaming Body Exfoliant that softens the skin, or Eau de Campagne Bath and Shower Gel with green invigorating notes. If you need to wash your hair too, choose a gentle conditioning shampoo that's kind to the capillary fibre and scalp.
