Q. What's the deal on germs, gyms, and my
skin?
A. Wipe down machines, mats, and benches with a paper towel, rather
than your own cloth towel, since you don't want your personal terry
cloth bearing someone else's sweat. The gym's humid climate
encourages bacteria growth, so protect your skin by draping a towel
over the equipment before you use it. Be considerate of others when
you sweat. Wipe-up after yourself!
Before your workout,
shower using Noevir's
Tokara Sea Mineral Body Soap.
This gentle liquid soap provides a luxurious bath/shower experience
with its super-refined sea minerals and algae extract from the
Tokara Sea - often referred to as the world's purest ocean. The
rich, frothy lather cleanses the skin, leaving it clean, smooth and
moisturized (soap strips away your natural oils.) If your skin is
very dry or if you are heading directly home, you may want to skip
the gym shower and simply pat down the sweat. If you have a problem
with back acne, swipe the area with a cotton pad soaked in
alcohol-free astringent such as Noevir's
99 Refreshing Balancing Lotion.
Bring along thongs.
Wearing thongs in the locker room, shower, etc., protects feet from
any bacteria or fungus lurking on the floors.
Saunas with their
intense dry heat, can make oily skin oilier, even encourage
infection on skin that's broken out!
Bring the water! Any
extra strains on the system, such as a good workout, increase the
amount of water both used and lost. A smooth healthy face is a good
sign of sufficient water consumption. Drink eight 8-ounce glasses a
day minimum.
