I workout on a regular basis, and today I thought I’d share what I have in my gym bag beauty-wise. Before we jump into it, I just wanted to say that I prefer doing my skincare at home, so I will only be featuring body & hair products.
Lemon Sole Shoe Spray. I’ve already written about it here, and it’s an absolute must-have. After using it for months, I can confidently say it stops your feet from smelling even after the most intense workouts. Instead, your feet are left with the pleasant fragrance of essential oils, mainly lemongrass
Sanex Dermo Invisible Dry Antiperspirant Roll-On Deodorant. This alcohol-free deodorant (though it does contain aluminium) is the one I’m currently using. It works really well for me: no marks on my gym clothes and reliable protection from unwanted odour. I’ve actually just bought another Sanex deodorant and like it just as much.
Inde Wild Dewy Lip Treatment – pretty self-explanatory. The brand promises squalane, shea butter and peptides in the formula, and I like this particular product because it doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. I have the clear version, but you can also get tinted ones.
My current shower gel of choice is This Works Morning Expert one, I find it to be exactly what I need post-workout. Lavender, rosemary and peppermint blend is invigorating and uplifting.
Shampoo-wise, Grown Alchemist (Damask rose, black pepper & sage) is doing the job. I’m also using the body cream (mandarin and rosemary leaf) from the same kit. I love the brand and have used their products for years. Plus, it’s handy having minis instead of lugging full-size bottles around in my already overpacked bag. Lastly, on the days I wash my hair, I always use a surf spray to add volume and texture before blow-drying.
I also sometimes use muscle gels. ESPA and Aromatherapy Associates, for example. But I’d love to try the Pure Sport one, as I already like quite a few of their products.
And what about you? Which beauty products do you keep in your gym bag?
