Wearing makeup when working out?

stefkhan

I've been breaking out a lot more than normal...wonder if it's because I'm wearing makeup when working out?? Any stories, ideas, suggestions, etc...other than taking my makeup off.

I don't have a problem taking my makeup off, just wondering if that's what's possibly causing my break outs.

Wish I had the answers for ya sista!!! I try to go in the morning early, so I can get away with not wearing make-up and not too many will see me. On my PT days though, it is after school, and there is no way I am not wearing make-up to class!! I have been having break outs too I hope it gets better!

I leave my make-up on when I work out, but I wash my face as soon as I am done with my workout. That seems to be keeping my face clear.

I cannot/could not wear makeup while exercising...I sweat profusely. And wipe off with a towel. All traces of makeup would be wiped off in 10 minutes.

I cannot even moisturize until after I work out. I do wear mascara and eyebrows. {I am about 3 hairs short of bald on my eyebrows}

I remove all make-up before working out, since it's gonna end up looking like crap anyway. It does on me, at least. I know the make-up ladies at Sephora also stressed to me that people should always remove it when working out, as well, if possible.

Also, even if I'm NOT wearing any make-up, if I don't have time or access to a shower right away, I always carry Clean & Clear make-up removing wipes and use those to wipe my face off after working out. If I don't wash my face or use those wipes after exercising, I get acne.

It's causing you to break out because your sweat is trying to break through the pores in your face and the makeup can block your pores! My best tip would be to wash your face and go fresh faced to a workout!
