Teammate Playbook: Best Practices for Skincare Hygiene

Maintaining optimum skincare hygiene is essential for clear and healthy skin, especially for athletes and active individuals. This guide provides actionable tips and best practices to help you achieve your best skin while promoting overall well-being.

The Athlete’s Skincare Game Plan

Daily Healthy Habits for Skin

1. Sunlight Exposure
   Spend time in natural sunlight to reduce inflammation and regulate oil production for a clearer complexion.

2. Eating Fruit
   Incorporate antioxidant-rich fruits into your diet to nourish your skin and support its natural healing processes.

3. Prioritize Sleep
   Quality sleep allows your skin to repair and regenerate. Lack of rest can lead to breakouts and dull skin. Aim for 7-9 hours nightly.

4. Stress Management
   Use relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing to prevent stress-induced flare-ups.

5. Stay Hydrated
   Drink enough water and electrolytes to help your body eliminate toxins through your kidneys and sweat.

6. Ditch Dairy
   Avoid hormone-filled dairy products like cheese and milk, which may contribute to acne. If you must have dairy, opt for organic, grass-fed, or rBST-free options.

7. Drink Lemon Water
   Start your day with lemon water to detoxify your body, aid digestion, and boost hydration.

8. Take Cold Showers
   Cold water reduces redness and inflammation, rejuvenates skin, and clears pores of extra dirt.

Exfoliation and Dirt Extraction

1. Exfoliate Regularly
   Gently exfoliate to remove sweat and dirt, preventing clogged pores and breakouts.

2. Deep Dirt Extraction
   Our handcrafted Dirt Extracting Technology (DET) is designed to eliminate the deepest dirt and bacteria in your pores, especially critical for athletes. With DET and our skincare products, you can stay ahead of the game.

Hygiene and Lifestyle Tips

1. Clean Bedding
   Wash sheets, pillowcases, and towels weekly to avoid bacteria buildup that can aggravate acne.

2. Don’t Touch Your Face
   Avoid transferring bacteria to your skin by keeping your hands off your face and resisting the urge to pick at pimples.

3. Disinfect Your Phone
   Regularly clean your phone screen to prevent bacteria from transferring to your cheeks.

4. Post-Workout Cleansing
   Always wash your face immediately after workouts to remove sweat and bacteria.

5. Use Non-Comedogenic Products
   Choose products labeled “non-comedogenic” to avoid clogging pores. This is crucial for moisturizers and sunscreen.

6. Avoid Over-washing
   Washing your face too often or with harsh products can strip natural oils, leading to irritation. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturize afterward.

7. Mind Your Hair Products
   Oily hair products can transfer to your skin. Opt for non-comedogenic options if you’re prone to breakouts around the hairline.

8. Support Gut Health
   Incorporate probiotic-rich foods like yogurt or take supplements to balance gut bacteria and reduce inflammation.

Consistency is key. Remember, skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. Stick with these healthy habits to achieve long-term results. Whether it’s natural remedies like lemon water or innovative solutions like DET, the goal is clear, healthy skin—no matter how tough the competition gets.
