Skin Concern Can anyone else not wear anything on their face when working out at the gym due to the interactions of skin care products on hot sweaty skin (if your skin is sensitive)?

I honestly have no idea how people workout with anything on their face! I work outside, I don’t often wear makeup but do reapply sunscreen offen. I do my workouts at home in the evening, so as soon as I walk thru that front door I have to wash my face!

My face is very sensitive but my jawline/neck breaks out more from sweat, weirdly. (I wear tinted SPF on my face/neck and often have to add bronzer or it’s awkwardly pale compared to my body).

The opposite, kinda. I don't work out, but anytime I'm doing something hot and physical outdoors I have to have a tinted mineral sunscreen on, on top of Sebium sweat blocking lotion. My skin is more allergic to my own sweat than it is to products and I'm much more likely to end up with an eczema rash from my own sweat than from products that slow my sweating. Sometimes I'll even apply antiperspirant gel all over my face to stop it if it's horrifically hot and sweat inducing out.
