With the warmer months on the horizon, many of us are upping our gym game. Tone your body and your skin by packing along these three gym bag must-haves for your next workout—because your bag should be as packed as the gym is.
Cleanse
Cleansing the skin after a sweaty workout is an important step to avoid clogged pores. More often than not, the locker rooms are packed, making getting to a sink—to adequately remove sweat and any other impurities—feel impossible. Thankfully, micellar water removes the need for H2O. Keep one like Vichy’s Pureté Thermale 3-in-1 One Step Solution stored in your bag for these no-sink-available moments. Using micelle technology, this one step cleansing solution purifies the skin, gently removes impurities, and soothes skin. Simply apply the solution to a cotton pad and sweep it across your face after your workout.
Refresh
After cleansing, hit your skin’s refresh button with a spritz of Urban Decay's B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray. This radiance-revealing, oil-absorbing, micro-fine mist gives your skin a quick hit of freshness, making this spray perfect to use after an intense workout. The formula is infused with vitamin B6, antioxidant vitamin E, and willow bark to help reveal a healthy-looking complexion.
Moisturize
We all know the importance of hydrating our body post-workout but the same can be said about the skin. Hydrate your skin with a lightweight, oil-free formula like La Roche-Posay’s Effaclar Mat. This daily moisturizer helps to target excess oil production to neutralize any post-workout shine, to micro-exfoliate the surface of the skin, and to visibly tighten the look of enlarged pores.
