Nothing’s worse than standing in front of your gym locker, wrapped in a towel and partially wet and having your toiletry bag fall on the floor in a calamitous explosion of all sorts of bottles, half-squeezed creams and lopsided lotions. There’s no need to carry all that stuff! We’ve got a list of the only gym bag beauty products you’ll need. It’s the list of things that’ll get you ready and feeling great – zero juggling act required.
Antiperspirant
A deo that’s strong enough to withstand any workout? Fist pump! Protect yourself and your gym threads with this fresh and airy deo.
Sunscreen
You never know when you might need to take your workout al fresco. This mineral sunscreen is kind to your skin and won’t budge. Plus, it offers UVA, UVB and blue light protection.
Hair Ties
Strong grip? Check. Unsnappable? Check. Super kind to hair strands? Check. This tie has it all. And we want them all.
Dry Shampoo
A great refresher for between shampoos or when you’re caught on the hop and have an unexpected event to attend immediately after your workout. This product will absorb oil and grime without leaving that tell-tale white residue.
Face Wipes
This powerhouse product is perfect for removing make-up (even the waterproof variety) without drying out or disturbing your skin’s natural pH balance. Perfect for removing your “face” before you hit the weights section.
Body Mist
Packed with soothing and softening properties, this mist will cool you down and provide you with long-lasting protection after exercise, shaving, hair removal and during travel. Definitely give it a try if you have sensitive, hypersensitive, allergic or irritated skin.
Skin Repair Cream
Has lots of sessions at the gym left your skin looking and feeling a bit worse for wear? Try this multi-purpose soothing balm to treat very dry, rough skin on your body and hands. It reinforces skin barrier function and relieves any discomfort. Bonus: it’s suitable for the whole family.
Skin Soother
Skin prone to irritation after a HIIT session? Try this lipid-replenishing balm that soothes flare-ups and severe dryness. It’s an excellent product and can be used on your face and body to soothe atopic eczema-prone skin.
Lip Tint
We love this tint because it lets you choose the colour intensity you want – apply one coat for a barely-there look or continue applying for an intense pout. It’s also “kiss proof” and could last up to 300 kisses (wink).
BB Cream
This is Vichy’s first hydrating BB cream. A tinted moisturiser with SPF 50, you can apply to your face in even layers instead of using thick foundation. Yaaas for one product taking care of three make-up jobs. Plus, you can run with a light layer.
Hair spray
Hair soaked after your spin class and don’t want to look like a naked mole rat. To add some much-needed va-va-voom, you can use a volumising hair product.
