Sin #3: Skipping My Pre- and Post-Workout CleanseWhat an Expert Said Could Happen: Washing your face before working out is a whole lot more important than doing it afterwards, says Schultz. Think about it: Anything that's gotten onto your skin up until that point (like makeup, dirt, debris, and air pollution, to name a few) can be pushed into your skin if you wipe your face dry with a towel, explains Schultz.
"Most people don't pat their face dry -- they wipe their face dry, pushing that crap into their pores," he says. Now, if you hit up the gym sans makeup and bypass the locker room without rinsing your skin when you're done, it's not the end of the world. Schultz points out that sweat contains urea, which is actually a moisturizing ingredient.
