Physical activity has undeniable benefits for overall health—and that includes the skin. Exercise increases circulation, enhances lymphatic drainage, supports detoxification, and helps regulate stress hormones. However, sweat, friction, heat, UV exposure, and changes in pH can also place temporary stress on the skin barrier. By understanding how exercise impacts the skin, and responding with targeted care, it’s possible to support and even amplify the skin's resilience, clarity, and glow.

We offer an adaptive, biologically aligned skincare system designed to work with the skin—not against it—making it ideal for those with an active lifestyle.

Pre-Workout Skincare: Preparation & Protection

Before exercise, the skin benefits from lightweight, breathable products that hydrate, defend, and prepare the skin without blocking its natural functions.

Start with a generous mist of REFRESH, LINNÉ’s mineral-rich facial mist. Infused with magnesium, silver, and hydrosols, REFRESH helps to lightly hydrate, tone, and balance the skin’s pH. Its cooling effect primes the skin while supporting the skin’s natural microbiome—particularly important before any activity that may cause sweat or surface bacteria to proliferate.

Follow with a few drops of RENEW Serum, a nutrient-dense formula designed to support cellular function with antioxidants and hydration-enhancing botanicals. For added nourishment, layer or blend with BALANCE Face Oil, which contains anti-inflammatory, lipid-replenishing oils to reinforce the skin barrier without clogging pores. Both absorb quickly and won’t interfere with the skin’s ability to sweat and regulate temperature.

For outdoor workouts, PROTECT Mineral Sunscreen is essential. Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, this broad-spectrum SPF provides UVA/UVB protection while soothing and hydrating the skin with aloe, ectoin, and hyaluronic acid. PROTECT provides 40-min sweat and water resistance for active lifestyles.

Post-Workout Skincare: Cleanse, Calm, Replenish

Following exercise, the skin requires a gentle reset. Sweat, salt, environmental pollutants, and friction can all compromise the skin barrier and trigger inflammation or breakouts if not properly addressed.

Begin with PURIFY, a pH-balanced facial cleanser designed to effectively remove sweat, debris, and sunscreen without stripping the skin. Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory botanicals—such as tea tree, jojoba, and french green clay—help decongest pores and calm post-workout redness.

Follow again with REFRESH to restore hydration and soothe skin. Its mineral content also supports post-exercise electrolyte balance on the skin’s surface and helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Next, apply RENEW Serum to replenish nutrients depleted through sweat and oxidative stress. For deeper restoration, particularly after prolonged sun exposure or intense training, use REPAIR Face Oil—LINNÉ’s concentrated blend of regenerative plant compounds, peptides, and antioxidants that support tissue repair and recovery.

The skin is dynamic, and movement only amplifies its need for thoughtful care. With biologically compatible, multifunctional formulations, the LINNÉ system is designed to evolve with you—whether you’re in the gym, on the trail, or in recovery mode. By tuning into the skin’s biology and responding with clean, intelligently designed products, you support both immediate function and long-term skin health.
