Glowing skin starts from within: What to eat for post-workout radiance

You’ve finished your workout, your body feels amazing—and now your skin deserves the same. While spritzing on Winning Skin Spray helps keep things fresh on the outside, true glow comes from what’s going on inside too. Yep, we’re talking food.

Here’s what to eat and drink after exercise to help your skin stay hydrated, balanced, and breakout-free.

1. Hydration is the holy grail

Water might sound basic, but it’s the unsung hero of radiant skin—especially after a sweaty session. Rehydrating helps flush out toxins, reduce puffiness, and keep your skin dewy.

Not a fan of plain water? Try coconut water, cucumber slices in sparkling water, or herbal teas with anti-inflammatory benefits like peppermint or chamomile.

2. Get your glow fats

Healthy fats = happy skin. After a workout, your body needs nourishment, and fats help repair cells and reduce inflammation (aka redness and irritation).

Add avocado to your toast, throw some chia seeds into your smoothie, or snack on a handful of walnuts. Omega-3s are especially good for post-workout skincare support because they help strengthen your skin barrier and lock in moisture.

3. Antioxidants for the win

Exercise increases circulation and can expose your skin to oxidative stress—especially if you’re outdoors. Enter: antioxidants. These little legends help your skin recover from environmental damage and keep it looking smooth and clear.

Reach for colourful fruit like berries, kiwifruit, or oranges. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are also loaded with skin-loving vitamins like A, C, and E.

4. Collagen boosters

Collagen is the protein that keeps your skin firm and bouncy. While your body makes it naturally, production slows as you age (ugh), and intense workouts can deplete it even more.

To support collagen after exercise, include foods rich in vitamin C (like citrus and capsicum), zinc (pumpkin seeds, lentils), and amino acids (think: eggs, bone broth, tofu). Bonus: your joints and muscles will thank you too.

5. Don’t forget the post-sweat spritz

Eating well is key, but your skin also needs a little TLC from the outside—especially after exercise. Winning Skin Spray is your sweat-proof skincare essential that balances, hydrates, and calms with no-rinse ease.

Think of it as your glow-up tag team: food fuels your radiance, and this lightweight face mist for gym-goers keeps it sealed in and soothed.

Feed your glow

Clear, glowing skin isn’t just about products—it’s also about what’s on your plate. With a few simple tweaks to your post-workout snacks, you can support your skin from the inside out.

Hydrate, nourish, mist, repeat.
