Basketball versus skincare: The ultimate face-off! Athletes fight against the trifecta that is the OSD:Â
Oil from overactive glands,Â
Sweat-up to 2.5 liters per hour of play, andÂ
Dirt-think court dust and grime build-upÂ
This triumvirate leaves skin greasy, hence affecting complexion. Combat oil with a very gentle, non-stripping cleanser, twice daily, and additionally after the game. Defend against UV and tan with SPF 30+ sunscreen. Use oil-free lightweight moisturizers for hydration sans shine.Â
Â
Choose products labeled as "non-comedogenic" and "oil-free". And, of course, with consistency, the balance of a healthy complexion appears as great as the game. Score one for great skin!
