How exercise impacts our skin

Sweating

When we exercise, our body's natural response is to produce sweat to cool us down. However, sweat can also trap dirt, bacteria, and dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. This buildup can clog pores, leading to acne breakouts, particularly in areas where sweat accumulates, such as the forehead, back, and chest.

Gymwear

Wearing tight polyester clothing during exercise is common, but it can lead to various skin issues. The friction from our clothing, combined with sweat, can cause irritation, chafing, and abrasions on the skin's surface. This disrupts the skin's protective barrier, making it more susceptible to bacteria, allergens, and pollutants. Over time, this friction can result in skin irritation, redness, and inflammation, worsening conditions like acne, eczema and rosacea.

Outdoor Activites

Outdoor exercise exposes our skin to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. UV rays can penetrate the skin's outer layers and cause damage at a cellular level. Prolonged or unprotected sun exposure can lead to various skin issues, including sunburn, premature aging, and other skin damage. UV rays increase the production of free radicals in the skin, leading to DNA damage, and collagen degradation. As a result, the skin may develop wrinkles, fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and other signs of photoaging over time.

  • OUR STORY

    You are on a mission to improve your health, both physical and mental. You hit the gym regularly, get your steps in, take your supplements, and even squeeze in moments of mindfulness.

  • But despite all your efforts, your skin just won’t cooperate. Exercise and skin are intrinsically linked - Sweat and oil clog pores, friction from tight gear leads to irritation, and dehydration and redness become a constant battle. The plan was to improve your health, not have your confidence crushed.

  • We get it because we’ve been there. Despite trying (almost!) every product on the market, our skin wasn’t improving. We don’t compromise with what we do in the gym, so why were we compromising with what we put on our skin outside the gym?

  • We set ourselves on a mission to find a solution and it turns out a lot of common products are either overpriced, too harsh on our skin to be used daily (despite us exercising daily), or part of a complicated, 10 step routine. So following 3 years of research and development, in collaboration with 14 independent dermatologists, we formulated GYMSKIN.

  • GYMSKIN provides dynamic skincare designed to combat the effects of your active lifestyle. Our products use natural active ingredients that are gentle but powerful against the effects of exercise on your skin. They are multifunctional, making them easy to fit into your busy routine. But most importantly, our products don’t just improve the appearance of your skin, they support your long-term skin health so you don’t pay the price in the future.

  • Designed for all skin types and any gender, and of course, cruelty-free, GYMSKIN fuels your skin through every workout.
