Everything You Need to Know About Hot Yoga Skin Care
Briefly

The new Outside+ app caters to hot yoga practitioners, highlighting its potential benefits for skin care. While hot yoga can lead to skin issues due to increased humidity and sweat, it also promotes hydration and a radiant complexion. Dermatologist Nicole Ruth emphasizes the importance of pre- and post-class skin care routines to prevent clogged pores and irritation. Proper hygiene pre- and post-yoga is crucial to mitigate bacterial and fungal growth that can cause infections, making cleanliness a priority for individuals engaging in hot yoga.
"Increased sweating is a natural response, but in a humid or hot yoga environment, the moisture can stay on the skin longer, leading to clogged pores, irritation, or even breakouts."
"The improved circulation from hot yoga can give the skin a healthy glow, promoting the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to skin cells," says dermatologist Nicole Ruth.
"It's worth noting that the warm, moist conditions found in a hot yoga room create an ideal environment for bacterial or fungal growth, which can lead to infection."
"Cleanliness is your skin care BFF pre- and post-yoga."
