Morning Workout: My Quick Face Routine

As a busy mom and wife I tend to always do my workouts in the morning. Morning workouts are great for waking up your body and boosting your metabolism! If your pressed for free time in the morning like me than this is a great quick face routine for your morning workout! According to Confessions of a Beauty Editor, doctors say that your face does not build up much dirt over night. Therefore, you do not need to spend much time prepping your skin in the morning (depending on skin type). These are the steps I take from when I roll out of bed, workout, and after my workout.

1. Wash face with warm water and a gentle cleanser, pat dry, moisturize  (I use Simple). 

2. At home workouts = Bare skin! Wearing no make-up allows my skin to breathe and doesn't clog my pores while I sweat! Outdoor or Gym workout = BB Cream with at least 15 SPF (I use 25 SPF). Again, minimal make-up is all you need for protection, although you can apply more if you are wanting to "dress to impress."

3. Gentle exfoliation! I always hear to be careful when it comes to exfoliating. Although this is true, a gentle exfoliating face wash is a good idea after a sweaty workout. Try one that also has nutrients so your not stripping away all the good stuff from your skin! I use Yes to Grapefruit and it is amazing! 

4. On-the-go make-up consists of: Rimmel London BB cream & a matte powder....then I add cream eye shadow and mascara if I have the time. I always feel fresh and clean with this skin routine!
