How to avoid a red face after sport?
The skin is a good reflection of the health of our body. It plays an essential role as a barrier for the proper functioning of our body and is the organ that is the first to suffer from external aggressions.
Being red as a tomato after sport is pretty usual! 🍅🍅 Okay, but why?? 🧐
☝🏼Sports has many benefits on our body, our mind but also on our skin, especially because it increases blood flow and oxygenates all your organs, and therefore your skin, more efficiently.
Under stress, your body increases in temperature. 🔥🔥🌡
In addition to the perspiration that passes through the sweat glands, the dilation of the blood vessels allows for better evacuation of heat and thus regulates your body temperature. It is when blood flow and tissue oxygenation increase that your skin turns red!
So it's totally normal, to have a red and shiny face during and after your workout. 🤷🏻♀️
To avoid having a little too red face after your workout:
- Practice your sport outside or in an airy environment - it will be less hot!
- Avoid anything that might limit the proper regulation of temperature through your skin's pores, such as makeup.
- Focus on breathable clothing that keeps your body temperature from rising too high. 🔥
- Remember to moisturize and refresh your skin during your session with a thermal water mist or by using a cool hydrating mist like FIT & FABULOUS. 👉🏼Tip: chill it out before use for an immediate tenfold soothing effect!
- After your session, take a nice cool shower to bring the temperature down. ❄️
- After cleansing your skin, finish with a soothing moisturizer. ☝🏼Your skin needs to drink after a session too!

Polysaccharides, sugars from plants such as corn 🌽, will play a soothing and moisturizing role. They have restructuring properties and create an adherent biofilm that protects your skin from dehydration by retaining water and alleviate feelings of tightness. It is an active ingredient of choice to offer your skin soothing and hydration right after your sports session!
