Post Workout Skincare Tips

Refresh and revitalise with toner and face mist.

Cardio and weight training workouts are high-impact sports that can be strenuous on the skin. From road running to weightlifting to cross training, each of these rigorous exercises can inflame the skin and cause sweating. It’s important to use refreshing and revitalising skincare in your post workout skincare routine that will help to calm and balance the skin.

Charlotte’s Magic Hydrator Mist is a gym bag essential. Misting this hydrating, oxygenating face mist onto the face after a gym session feels instantly refreshing and helps to revive the look of tired, dehydrated skin. You can use face mist before, during and after your workout as a magical moisture boost, but in your post workout skincare routine, it’s best applied after cleanser to provide high-performance hydration.

After your cardio or weight training session, you can expect body heat and sweating; this can cause pores to enlarge as an attempt to cool your body down. I recommend applying Glow Toner after exercising to help reduce the appearance of pores. My acid-free, niacinamide-infused toner helps to gently resurface the face and refines the look of pores while hydrating the skin for a baby-soft, glowing complexion post workout.

Full-body moisturisation with body cream, moisturiser and eye cream.

Water sports are notorious for drying out the skin, so it’s key to fully moisturise your face and body after swimming, surfing or diving. Both salt water and chlorinated water can be drying for your skin, so it’s important to rehydrate from head to toe following your water-based workout!

To moisturise your body, lather Charlotte’s Magic Body Cream onto the skin for an immediate skin revival! Inspired by my award-winning, instant-turnaround moisturiser, Charlotte’s Magic Cream, this hydrating body cream absorbs luxuriously into the skin, supplying magic skincare ingredients such as hydrating hyaluronic acid and conditioning vitamins C and E for instantly nourished, hydrated skin.

Tilbury Tip: For magic skin from head to toe, apply Charlotte’s Magic Cream to the face and neck for immediately hydrated skin that looks smoother and lit from within!

Spending time in the water can also be aggravating for the eyes, so I recommend nourishing the eye area with a potent eye cream to help soothe and hydrate the skin. Magic Eye Rescue is my smoothing and brightening-effect eye cream for giving the under-eyes an instant eye refresh; it’s enriched with supercharged ingredients from my Magic 8 matrix and helps to reduce the look of puffiness around the eyes.

Sensorial facial massage with face oil and balm.

Stretch-based exercises like yoga and pilates are perfectly coupled with sensorial, self-care skincare rituals such as a facial massage and masking. After class, cleanse your skin before performing a soothing, at-home facial with Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil or Multi-Miracle Glow for glowing, spa-fresh skin.

Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil is my spa-in-a-jar formula infused with a high-performance collagen matrix and relaxing essential oils including lavender, damask rose and eucalyptus. It helps to smooth the look of skin while boosting radiance and feels silky-smooth to apply after a meditative hour of yoga.

Alternatively, reach for Multi-Miracle Glow as a lavish rescue balm for the face and body. Massage Multi-Miracle Glow into any areas that feel tight or dry and the nourishing formula will help them feel refreshed thanks to skincare saviours including brightening vitamin C, moisture-boosting arctic cloudberry oil and revitalising rosehip oil.

Targeted hydration with serum and lip oil.

Cold-weather workouts can be extremely dehydrating for the skin. Whether you’re skiing or snowboarding in below-zero temperatures or you’re being challenged by icy winter weather on your daily run, it’s important to follow up your outdoor exercise sessions with supercharged serums that target signs of dehydration.

Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir is a research-powered formula that’s infused with polyglutamic acid – a hydrating powerhouse that floods the skin with 4x the moisture of hyaluronic acid – giving skin a magic boost after being exposed to cold weather to help it look smoother and younger.

The lips are often prone to dryness and chapping during cold weather spells, so be sure to coat them with Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir to keep them feeling conditioned and hydrated after exercising outdoors. The crystal-infused formula glides onto the lips, delivering instant hydration while helping to lock in moisture thanks to the powers of resurrection leaf extract.
