What is Athleisure or Active Beauty?

Athleisure or active beauty refers to skin care products, which are intended and designed to be gentle on your skin during a workout, keeping you looking and smelling fresh, without interrupting your skin’s natural response to exercise.

It is also about convenient Ayurvedic skin care products that are easy to transport and are functional. Athleisure skin care products are non-comedogenic (which means that they do not clog the skin’s pores), waterproof, sweat proof and smudge proof. They’re specifically designed for exercise.

Using skincare products that are too greasy and thick in texture while exercising is a big no no, because exercise can enlarge pores of the skin and using such skincare products during a work-out can clog or block these pores, resulting in break outs or in dull skin. Based on this, we suggest using facial care products which are non-greasy, light in texture and all natural, during exercise or workout sessions. Facial tonic mists, refreshing body mists, natural facial cleansers, hydrating moisturizers are some of the must have active beauty essentials.

Here are some important active beauty tips to follow before and after a workout session.

Pre-Work Out Active Beauty Tips:

For those who apply makeup, step one is always to remove makeup before workout. If you do not remove it properly, the chemicals penetrate into the skin and clog the skin pores. Forest Essentials’ Makeup Remover is specially designed to deal with all types of makeup. Apply it to the areas around eye with the help of damp cotton.

Cleansing is next important step, as it removes dead cells and toxins, clears clogged pores and cleans any remaining make-up without stripping the skin’s natural oils.
The next recommended step is to use Facial tonic mists for toning and hydrating the skin. The Facial tonic mist Pure Rose Water is great for extremely dry skin whereas the Facial tonic mists Bela and Panchpushp can be used for all skin types.

For Dry skin, the Mashobra Honey Lemon Rosewater Facial Cleanser is a great choice, as it contains steam distilled Rose Water which works as a natural astringent, that tones and re-hydrates the skin and raw Honey which absorbs impurities from deep within the pores on the skin.
For Oily skin, the Kashmiri Saffron and Neem Facial cleanser works perfectly. It contains Neem, which is healing, cooling, and purifying, while Saffron leaves the skin with a warm glow.

It’s necessary to apply sunscreen if you’re going to be exercising outdoors in the sun or near a window, applying a moisturizer with SPF is a must. Try the Light Day Lotions that come with a natural SPF derived from Yashad Bhasma. Their light texture makes them a good non-comedogenic (or non-pore clogging) sunscreen to apply before work out.
Finally, before heading out for your workout session, apply Trishala slimming oil on the body especially on areas where fat tends to deposit easily. Forest Essentials Trishala Slimming Oil contains warm and detoxifying herbs that help in slimming and toning the body.
