Skin gets red and itchy after workouts despite cleansing could sweat be damaging my barrier?

I’ve recently started working out more regularly and I’ve noticed my skin becomes really red, itchy, and irritated after sweating especially around my cheeks and jawline.

I usually wash my face after workouts and use a basic moisturizer, but the irritation still happens for a few hours afterward.

I have oily/sensitive skin and don’t usually react to skincare products, so I’m wondering if this could be from sweat, dehydration, friction, or a damaged skin barrier.

Has anyone experienced something similar from regular workouts or cardio? What helped calm the irritation?”
