GYM BAG ESSENTIALS
Getting in a workout or a round of your favorite sport
is more than just fun, it’s great for your body and skin!
When you’re prepping your gym bag essentials, make
sure to consider more than just the traditional yoga
mat, bottle of water and towel. Adding in skincare and
cosmetics can help you feel ready for your workout and
work towards a healthier, glowing complexion. To help
learn the best techniques for gym makeup and skincare,
we’ve teamed up with our friends at BeautyPress to
learn more.
Stretch And Prep Before A Training Session
Just like applying makeup or skincare products, the
prep of the skin is important before training. Think of
it like…stretching. The body needs a good warm up
before all the intense workout, but so does the skin.
Gym or an outdoor session? Both environments require
different skin prep and care. Prior to exercise, do not
use any greasy creams or perfumes, as they may feel
uncomfortable while sweating.
What’s totally acceptable is water-based creams, gels
or fluids. Relocate your exercise in the outdoors and feel
amazing in nature. Be aware though that the sun’s rays

reflect on to the sweat on our skin. You should not refrain
from sports outside, but to prevent skin aging, sunburn
and skin cancer always apply sunscreen – in any form
you prefer. Particularly suitable are specially designed
products for athletes, as they provide a suitably adapted
and thus adequate and reliable protection from the sun.
