So I know a
lot of people like to go to the gym before they start their day or at the end
of it, but I fit my workouts in around my lectures, so often end up going to
the gym then heading straight to classes. Therefore I've picked up a few good
tips to keep you looking fresh after going all out in the gym.
1. Clear
mascara
Sounds kinda
retro, but if you really cannot leave the house without make-up, even when
going to the gym, clear mascara is a saviour. You can sweat as much as you like
and not end up looking like a panda, whilst still maintaining a bit of volume
on your lashes.
2. Avoid
foundation
If you plan
on going to the gym in the middle of your day, avoid heavy foundation in the
morning. When you sweat, the pores on your face open up, if you have on a heavy
layer of foundation, this will clog your pores and you will end up with spots.
Not so nice. Instead, try a BB cream and light concelar.
3. Face
wipes
If you don't
have time for a proper shower, face wipes are a must. You can get rid of your
sweaty look quickly and easily. I really like Johnson's face wipes because they
are so moisturising: two in one!
4. Dry
Shampoo
Bit of an
obvious one, but it's an essential so it needs to be on the list. Sweaty
looking hair equals greasy looking hair... Eww. Blast a bit of dry shampoo
around fringes, partings and especially your hairline at the back of your neck,
for a fresher look instantly. You could also give Dry Conditioner a try, its
pretty much the same as dry shampo but it stops hair looking and feeling dry.
Perfect partners!
5. Argan Oil
Argan oil is
essential for frizzy post-workout hair. It's so nourishing and makes hair
appear all shiny and soft. Just apply a penny sized amount through the lengths
of your hair and brush through. Nobody will ever know you just came from the
gym, you'll look like a shampoo ad!
6. Aussie
Miracle Recharge Frizz Remedy
Another
great product to combat frizz is this Aussie spray. Its lightweight so won't
weigh your hair down but will smooth the cuticle immediately giving you fresher
looking hair.
7. Bring
snacks!!
I am always
hungry after the gym, so I always carry rice cakes or an apple or just some
nuts to snack on on my way back to lectures. Trust me, its mortifying when your
stomach growls right in the middle of a silent lecture theatre!
I know a lot
of these tips may seem obvious, but I see so many girls in the changing rooms
trying to fix their mascara which has run down their cheeks or simply dabbing
off sweat with toilet roll before heading out again. These few simple products
and tips will keep you looking fresh all day without really compromising too
much.
