SAVING FACE

-

If going barefaced at the gym is as terrifying to you as wearing a thong unitard to Tabata class, we’ve got you covered (without the cake face). DON’T Wear waterproof foundation. These typically contain silicones and waxes, which can clog pores, exacerbati­ng acne, says Dr. Nowell Solish, a cosmetic dermatolog­ist at Toronto’s Cosmetic Dermatolog­y. DO Try lighter water-resistant or mineral formulas. The water-resistant Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Work IT! Marathonis­ta Tinted Moisturize­r ($19, at drugstores and mass-market retailers) contains pigments treated with moisturizi­ng jojoba esters, so a sweaty face doesn’t equal dripping makeup. Also, try Arrow’s Revive Cooling Cheek Tint ($24, at birch box.ca until the end of April); its water-based gel formula hydrates and cools skin. n
