7 GYM BAG ESSENTIALS TEAM CB SWEAR BY
We appealed to our resident gym bunnies, to share which products they rely on pre-, during and post-workout - from sweat-resistant make up staples to the muscle-soothing soaks they turn to after an intensive training session - and here are the top seven exercise essentials...
"I'm addicted to Pixi's {Glow Tonic} and these clever, pre-soaked pads - {Glow Tonic to Go} - are a firm fixture of my post-run skin care kit (there's no risk of them leaking). Refreshing and toning, they also help my moisturiser to sink in - I can always tell the difference when I skip this crucial step."
“I’m quite new to the workout thing – I admit to having all the gear and no idea – but, I’ve awarded myself ten points (and a lot of fancy ‘athleisure’) for trying. To keep bad smells at bay, I bought Megababe’s Rosy Pits Daily Deodorant to keep my sweat under wraps and to keep me feeling fresh when attempting a work out…"
"I must have my eyebrows drawn on at all times. I know it might sound ludicrous, but without some definition I can look a bit... well, bonkers. Anastasia Beverly Hills' {DipBrow Pomade} is ideal when applied with fine, hair-like strokes for a natural (water-proof!) finish. AND, I always have a {Wet Brush} with me - the 'Pop Fold' version is perfectly portable, and makes light work of teasing tangles."
"I love a facial spritz to refresh and re-energise after a sweaty HIIT class - there's something spirit-lifting about misting your complexion with a heavenly-scented spray. I love Caudalie's miniature {Beauty Elixir}."
"While I don't apply foundation before skipping off to yoga, if I know I've got a class I try to choose something that's featherweight so I don't have to faff around with cleansing pre-workout (nobody has time for that...). Jouer's lightweight Matte Moisture Tint feels like a second skin - it's flexible and dewy and won't melt off as you sweat.
"I also love an energising balm, applied to pulse points before 'gymming'. Therapie's {Energy Lift} smells incredible and really helps inspire me to go the extra mile (or stretch)."
