Hello, Do you remove your makeup before a workout? I work for a university that offers a great deal on their fitness facilities. I don’t workout before work but after with my makeup still on. I do bring makeup wipes that I use to remove my makeup but I am wondering if it’s even needed.

    its best if you remove your make up before exercising because the make up blocks your pores and does not allow sweat (which carries a lot of toxins out of your body) to escape the skin barrier. This may cause you to break out eventually.

    Okay I used to teach group fitness classes at Uni so do I know what you mean, I miss that gym! Great on you for taking advantage of it! I would go straight from class to teach and then back from teaching to class.

    If I was going to ruin my makeup by sweating, I would take it off beforehand because there’s no point in trying to preserve it. If I was just doing yoga or a stretching class, it was 50/50 on if I would take it off. It would depend on if I had class after or if I was going to shower. Personally, I leave my mascara on while working out and really only take off my base makeup, taking off mascara takes too long for me and my mascara doesn’t get everywhere the same way my foundation does if I wipe my face from sweat. If my mascara lasts all day, I take it off before bed.

      Would you reapply your makeup before going back to teach?
