BB Creams Have Changed My Exercise Life

How BB cream changed my exercise life


The problem: I always use an SPF moisturizer when I run, but I am extremely self conscious about my skin. When I have to meet up with people after a run or get on the subway or stop into a store, I pray I don’t run into anyone I know. I keep my head down when speaking to anyone. I worry that my friends will say, behind my back, “Wow, Dori really has bad skin.”

The treatment: None. I’ve spent years at dermatologists trying different medications and combinations of medications. Not only did they not work, but because of my severely dry skin (unusual with chronic acne), all the medications made my skin unbearably dry and painful. Now, I just try to use products that don’t make it any worse.

The solution: Because I won’t work out with makeup on (it clogs pores and is gross to sweat off), I was at a loss for years – until now. I happen to work at a skincare company called Hydroxatone and we recently came out with the product that changed my exercise life: Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream.

Tell me more: Well, since you asked! BB cream (which stands for beauty balm, blemish balm and even beblesh balm – explanation here) is an all-in-one multitasking product. Depending on what brand you get, it can hydrate, conceal, protect from the sun’s harmful rays and brighten your skin. My company’s version also reduces the look of aging. And it does all of this in just one step, so you’re not using multiple products. That’s really important to me because I am lazy and forgetful. I wear the Anti-Aging BB Cream when I work out and I also wear it on regular days — it gives me a flawless complexion and I don’t need foundation with it!

You can’t be serious. Do you have proof? Why yes, I do! I happened to record a Before & After BB cream - Part 1 to show how the BB cream perfected my skin and this is Before & After BB cream – Part 2,  to show how well the BB cream held up while running and sweating for 6.2 miles. The lighting’s not great, but my acne is much worse than it appears and I also have under eye circles and dry skin. The video was inspired by this photo I snapped of myself in an apartment building hallway after the last race I ran wearing the BB

MY TAKE:
I agree with her completely...I workout everyday sometimes well all the time 2x daily..BB cream has been a lifesaver because now I dont have to wear full makeup..I am guilty when I do go to the gym..I wear Garniers  BB cream and I love it...My next review and buy will be Hydroxatones..I love their skin creams so I am sure I will love the BB cream!  -Tiffany

    That's good enough, Tiffany, because working out with make-up attracts bacteria that will clog your pores and cause breakouts, blemishes, and acne issues. So, it's always important to wash your face before and after going to the gym. You can a use mineral based make up because these will not clog up your pores as much as a regular makeup. A woman can still look beautiful while doing her workout without attracting bacterias. A smokey eye makeup and high shine lipgloss are not bad also. :P

      Mathias,it really depends on the person,skin type and what type of product they wear..I never had the problem with my foundation I wore but I just needed something healthier and not wasting it on a workout..my foundation is pricey..I do agree about mineral makeup I wear it also..most of the workouts are in my home so when I do go to the gym with my hubby at least I have a bb cream to use now.

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
