Using makeup while exercising can be harmful to your skin.

Skin pores usually become larger when a person is actively involved in sports.

Not everyone knows that wearing makeup during exercise prevents the release of beneficial oils, writes NewScientist .

The presence of foundation on the skin during exercise changes the size of the skin's pores and subsequent sebum secretion.

Researchers from an American university conducted an experiment in which participants applied foundation and monitored the condition of their skin during exercise.

Doctors found that the amount of sebum in areas with foundation was less than in areas without makeup.

The experiment clearly demonstrated the negative impact of makeup during training.

The researchers emphasize that the use of makeup led to clogged pores and negative sebum levels.
