What kind of exercise do you enjoy? Moderate-intensity activities like stretching, swimming, and yoga can bring remarkable changes to your skin. Exercise boosts blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin, helps relieve stress to prevent breakouts, and facilitates the removal of impurities through sweat. It also promotes collagen production, maintaining the skin’s elasticity.
However, no matter how beneficial exercise is, neglecting your skincare routine before and after a workout can irritate your skin. With Melixir’s recommended pre- and post-workout skincare tips, you can fully reap the positive effects of exercise on your skin. Healthy, glowing skin after a workout isn’t difficult to achieve!
Pre-Workout Skincare Tips
Step 1 – Light Hydration
Before exercising, apply the Vegan Bamboo Hydration Serum for light hydration. This serum, also popular as an all-in-one product for men, is quickly absorbed without stickiness, replenishing moisture deep into your skin. Infused with Korean bamboo water and patented ingredient Aczero (2%), it keeps your skin hydrated, while hyaluronic acid and panthenol help improve wrinkles and skin elasticity.

Step 2 – Sun Protection
Whether you’re working out indoors or outdoors, sun protection is a must. After the serum is fully absorbed, apply the Vegan Airfit™ Sunscreen SPF 50+ thoroughly. With rice, reed, and kale leaf extracts, it helps improve skin moisture and elasticity. It applies smoothly like a lotion, absorbing without stinging the eyes or leaving a white cast. Its powerful 10-hour UV protection makes it ideal for extended outdoor activities. SPF 50+, PA++++.
Post-Workout Skincare Tips
Step 1 – Cleanse
After working out, cleanse away sweat and impurities from your pores with the Mandarin Morning Face Cleanser, which contains Jeju mandarin and 10 types of hyaluronic acid. The refreshing mandarin scent helps ease post-workout fatigue, and the skin feels hydrated without tightness after washing. With 0.5% BHA, it effectively purifies pores and reduces blackheads, making it suitable for acne-prone skin.

Step 2 – Moisturize
After cleansing, replenish lost moisture with the Vegan Balancing Toner. The vitamin C, E, and catechins in green tea extract effectively soothe flushed skin and alleviate post-cleansing tightness. This water-type toner absorbs quickly without stickiness, making it safe for sensitive skin.
*Dermatologist tested.
Step 3 – Deep Hydration
Finally, apply the Vegan Relief Facial Moisturizer to wrap your skin in softness. Green tea, centella asiatica extract, and the patented Aczero ingredient provide immediate soothing hydration. Its lightweight gel texture and naturally derived oils create a relaxing effect after your workout. Layer as needed to experience deeper hydration.
