Athleisure Makeup Trend Is On The Rise

But the question remains: Is it correct to mix makeup with sweat?

Makeup isn’t great for the skin anyway since it is first of all going to sit in the pores and clog them. This leads to the formation of comedones and pimples. More so if you are using the wrong type of products. With exercise your body’s metabolic rate goes up and as your heart rate goes up and you start oxygenating your tissues, the makeup can act as a barrier for the toxins to flush out. The sweat helps to cool the body and the toxin elimination is hampered.
