Stay Clean :)

If you completed that last circuit, you probably sweated a ton (ew). While that may not seem all that great to you, it means you did the workout correctly! While working out, your face is going to sweat and clog your pores. It's important to clean your face after every workout to avoid breakouts. Now that you're getting in shape and looking great, the last thing that you want is clogged pores! 

I have a solution for that; a homemade face scrub. Boys, this is meant for you too! Breakouts are no more attractive on men than they are women. I use this scrub on myself once or twice a week, and it surprisingly helps! I make it right in my room and use it right when I get home from a workout. 

Place 1/2 coconut oil in a bowl, and mix it with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.  Mix this all together and apply to a wet face. Leave on for a couple of minutes, and then wash off with a warm wash cloth. Once done, just splash some cool water on your face to close up the pores. 

It sounds silly, but it really leaves my skin feeling nice and smooth and looking healthy. You can store the rest of the scrub in a jar and keep is sealed to use for later. I just leave mine in the bathroom to be honest. 

Another way to keep your skin looking healthy is by hydrating. Now that you're working out and sweating, your body is losing a lot of water. Make sure to drink even more than 8 cups of water a day! You'll thank yourself later for it.
