Everything your skin goes through every time you train, and what to do about it.
This guide was written by Dr. Jordan Faulkner, cosmetic doctor, marathon runner and co-founder of Myokine. It covers the real science behind what exercise does to your skin, broken down simply and without the jargon.
Inside you'll find:
- Why exercise is one of the best things you can do for your skin, and why everything that comes with it isn't
- The five skin stressors your skin faces every session: UV exposure, sweat and bacteria, pollution, dehydration and friction
- How different sports create different skin challenges - running, cycling, swimming, gym, Pilates/yoga and Hyrox/CrossFit
- What to do before you train to protect your skin
- What to do in the first 30 minutes after your workout
- The science behind gym equipment carrying up to 362x more bacteria than a toilet seat, and what that means for your skin
This is the kind of information that usually sits behind a clinic consultation. We're giving it away free because we believe active people deserve to understand their skin.
