During the summer months, elevated body temperatures and increased sweating can create favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria and fungi, leading to various skin problems. To help protect yourself, here are some tips to consider.

To avoid these unpleasant conditions and protect your skin, it’s crucial to adopt a proper hygiene routine before, during, and after training. Here are some important tips:

1. Shower: Before and after each training session, it’s essential to take a shower to remove sweat, impurities, and bacteria from the skin. Use an antibacterial soap for a thorough and effective cleanse. Our facility We disponibilizamos a shower located no mat 2.

3. Skin Care: Keep your skin clean and dry during training. Use talcum powder or specialized antiperspirants to minimize moisture and friction. It’s recommended to have a personal face towel if you sweat a lot.

4. Hydration: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after training to maintain proper skin and overall body hydration. Well-hydrated skin is more resistant to injuries and infections. 

5. Clean Gear: Make sure to wash and disinfect your training equipment regularly, including gis, rashguards, pads, etc., to prevent the spread of bacteria and fungi.

6. Sandals Provided: Always wear the provided sandals when using the bathroom. They are available at the entrance of each restroom.
