I don’t pretend to be one of those people that go to the gym all the time. I congratulate myself if I workout twice in one week. And while I am on my own schedule right now working from home, back when I was working the ol’ 9-5 I had to pack my gym bag essentials in the morning so I would have them handy for my after work gym classes.

This is what I use to keep myself looking (and smelling) decent on my way home from the gym!

COLAB Sheer & Invisible Dry Shampoo

After working up a sweat my hair is generally looking pretty flat, stringy and overall pretty gross. I like this dry shampoo for after workouts because not only is it transparent, it also smells lovely! I don’t know how to describe the scent but it’s really pretty and when I “whip my hair back and forth” I get a whiff of the yummy scent. This isn’t always necessary but if you are meeting someone after the gym and want to add a little life back into your hair this is the way to do it!

Amie New Bloom Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes

If I’m wearing makeup I might use these both before and after my workout. They are super gentle and are paraben, mineral oil and fragrance free. They work well to remove my makeup before I exercise and after to remove sweat and oil.  The wipes themselves are really soft and don’t feel scratchy on the skin like some other wipes do. I have been known to use these for my…underarms as well. Don’t judge! No one wants to be the stinky person on the bus.

These won’t get every stitch of your makeup off but for on-the-go they work really well!

Benefit Cosmetics Dream Screen SPF 45

After my skin is cleansed I throw on a little SPF moisturizer to keep those rays away! I generally walk everywhere so my face is constantly exposed to the fun. Even if I don’t apply any makeup after a workout I’ll be sure to apply this to make sure my skin is protected. I’ve had this for a year and there is still product left. You need the tiniest amount so a little goes a very long way!

Dove Clinical Protection Clear Tone Skin Renew Anti-Perspirant

I mean…what else do I need to say? Keep those pits fresh y’all!

I Love…Raspberry and Blackberry Spritzer

I’ll be honest this spray smells like straight up candy. I’ve been spritzing it on after my yoga class to make me smell like a gum drop on my way home. It doesn’t last long but for an hour or so I get to indulge my 12 year old self. Did anyone else wear bubblegum body spray as a pre-teen? No? Anyone? Bueller?
