In 2020, we’re not compromising. We want it all. We want to have our cake and eat it too, and we most certainly want to smash our workout goals and feel our best afterwards. You in?
To make it happen, we’ve curated a list of essentials to streamline your post-gym beauty kit and keep you feeling good from head to toe long after your workout is over. Scroll for the deets.
BY BEAUTY BAY PREBIOTIC + AVOCADO OIL CLEANSING GEL
Exercise can both positively and negatively impact your skin. The increased blood flow gives you that post-gym glow (love) but leaving your makeup on whilst you work out or failing to properly wash your face afterwards can result in clogged pores, excess bacteria, and blemishes. Wash away all traces of makeup, oil, dirt, and sweat with By BEAUTY BAY Prebiotic + Avocado Oil Cleansing Gel. This gentle gel cleanser can also be used in the shower, saving valuable time and getting you on that motorway and on your way to work before the dreaded rush hour traffic hits.
BY BEAUTY BAY SQUALANE + GINSENG GEL MOISTURISER
Downed a bottle of water during your spin class? Good job, but don’t forget to give your skin a drink too. Face creams like the Squalane + Ginseng Gel Moisturiser replace the lost moisture that’s been stripped away during cleansing, as well as giving your skin a much-needed hit of hydration.
MARIO BADESCU DEODORANT
Mario Badescu Deodorant is enriched with vitmain E to neutralise odours and soothe the skin. Natural deodorants contain plant-based moisturisers, making them perfect for sensitive skin as they’re less harsh and leave the underarms soft, smooth, and smelling great, minus the irritation. Trust us, this effective deodorant deserves a permanent spot in your gym bag.
BEYOU CBD BODY BALM
If you’re no stranger to a post-workout protein shake, you’re gonna love BeYou’s CBD Body Balm. The carefully chosen active ingredients (ft. CBD) help to reduce muscle pain and soreness, as well as supporting a healthy immune system. Place three drops under your tongue, hold for sixty seconds, then swallow to speed up your recovery process.
MARIO BADESCU FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, CUCUMBER AND GREEN TEA
Show off your yoga skin way after you’ve finished stretching with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray. Enriched with aloe vera to calm and soothe skin and cucumber to leave the skin glowing and hydrated. The perfect way to refresh and stay cool after sweaty gym sessions.
BRIOGEO SCALP REVIVAL CHARCOAL + BIOTIN DRY SHAMPOO
If you’re an early exerciser, you’ll know the struggle of trying to wash, dry, and style your hair before your 9am meeting all too well. Remove the stress from your morning by spraying your hair with Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo instead. Instantly soaking up excess oil, your tresses are left looking fresher, cleaner, and more voluminous. Sweaty hair, see ya later.
Mario Badescu Rose Hand Cream With Vitamin E
If you ask us, hard skin and callouses on your hands is a sign that you’re a girl/boy boss that’s lifting some seriously heavy weights. However, if you prefer to keep your hands soft and callous-free outside of the gym, invest in a pair of weightlifting gloves and some Mario Badescu Rose Hand Cream With Vitamin E. Light and fast-absorbing, the nourishing cream will condition and hydrate your hands to keep them silky smooth, no matter how much you deadlift.
