Skincare for runners! (Men and Women)

How many blogs have I checked and so far no blog has ever said anything about skincare… but I can always be wrong, who knows, there might be a lot of sports blog out there that already talked about skincare oh well, here’s my share of information about skincare.





Running under the sun is a no-no! No matter how early it is in the morning the terrible situation of our ozone layer can no longer protect us from the harmful effects of the sun, it’s what gives athletes doing outdoor sports pre-mature wrinkles and discoloration that will eventually make us look like a hag when we reach the age of 30 or even sooner. hehe!




I’m no fan of sun blocks, the stickiness and the way it stings our eyes when mixed with perspiration is just enough reason to stop me from applying some on my skin. BUT WE NEED IT!!!

However, if you insist on not putting on some sun, make sure you put on some night cream, BRANDS ONLY MATTERS WHEN YOUR ALLERGIC TO IT!!! And it doesn’t mean it has to be EXPENSIVE!!! Anyway my favorite night cream (for 2 and a half years now) is this… “The Body Shop” rich night cream with vitamin e”

I know this is P700 and expensive for most of us, but this was only supplied to me by my aunt who lives in Australia, nevertheless, not being able to afford any of these creams doesn’t mean we should stop doing something about it right? Why not try something as cheap as baby oil? Or a small amount of petroleum jelly? The whole point is to moisturize.

But before putting on some cream at night we have to clean our faces first! I only used ordinary soap and water, then I use this… “Eskinol facial cleansing for men (anti acne with dremaclear c)” to remove dirt that water and soap cannot get rid of, so after thoroughly cleaning your face then you put just a small amount of night cream or whatever moisturizer you have… BTW, the “Eskinol facial cleansing for men” only costs P34 and I bought mine almost 2 months ago, you just have to use it once a day (preferably at night) not bad right?




And lastly for the whole body (hands, arms, legs, feet) I use “BCBGirls by Max Azaria, but I prefer “Johnson and Johnson” line of hand and body lotion” really! It just so happened that my mom had a bottle of BCBGirls and that’s what I used! See I’m really cheap! I use whatever is available haha!
