Hardcore Sexy – 10 Must-Have Beauty Items For Your Gym Bag

Hardcore Sexy – 10 Must-Have Beauty Items For Your Gym Bag

You’re walking contradiction. You’re strong, powerful, tight, and lean – yet your muscular curves are feminine. You’re driven, tough, and motivated in the gym – yet you’re as humble as they come, and are always willing to lend support and guidance to anyone asking for it.

You take every trip to the gym – and every meal seriously. You’re proud of those callouses on your hands, they’re a testament to your hard work – but you take care of your skin, your hair… your body. You’re a woman, and you enjoy being one.

Sound familiar? Shouldn’t your gym bag reflect this contradicting personality of yours? I know mine does!

Sure, you’ve got your straps, your gloves, your chalk and BCAAs… but after that kick-ass workout, after setting those new PRs… you’ll remain a woman. Why not be the most beautiful, feminine, confident woman you can be by taking care of some beauty basics?

Why not be hardcore AND sexy?

I’ve put together a list of items I found exceptionally helpful to have at the gym, and I’ve decided to share them with you.

Let’s dive right in!

1. Makeup Removing Facial Wipes
You know that makeup can cause breakouts, right? Well, so can leaving your face sweaty with all that nasty bacteria all over it after a workout! And if you train after work, with makeup on your face… this especially applies to you: Always, always remove your makeup thoroughly as soon as possible after training.

My personal favorites are the Klorane ones. They’re perfect for sensitive skin, and take every bit of makeup off, if you wear any.

2. Dry Shampoo
I don’t know about you, but my hair gets pretty grimy by the end of my workout. It’s sweaty, and just looks like a mess – which is a good thing, it means I worked hard, right? Sure, but that doesn’t mean I want to leave the gym looking like someone gave me a swirly!

I have two solutions to this problem. The first, is dry shampoo. All I do is grab my hair out of the pony tail, apply the spray to the roots, and blow dry it upside down, for 30 seconds. The second solution is…

3. Hair Styling Sheets
These are truly an amazing discovery. They seem to awaken whatever styling products I had in my hair prior to getting all sweaty and frizzy. They tame my hair, improve its health, and make it look – and smell absolutely amazing! I get the Ted Gibson Hairsheets. They’re tiny and super easy to use!

4. Tinted Moisturizer with SPF
You know how damaging those UV rays are, and I know you don’t want wrinkles – or skin cancer, for that matter. This means you should protect your skin at all times, even during those short walks from the gym to your car… and wherever else you’re going after the gym.

And while you’re applying SPF, why not even out your skin tone and accentuate that “after-heavy-squats” glow? I always use a tinted moisturizer with SPF, and my current favorite is The Balm’s BalmShelter SPF 18 Tinted Moisturizer.

5. Travel-Sized Gentle, Delicious-Smelling Body Wash
I always take a quick rinse after hitting the gym to avoid any breakouts on my body by delaying getting all that grime off. Besides, why be stinky when you can smell amazing walking (or limping – depending on whether it was leg day or not) out of the gym?!

My favorite body wash for the gym is LoLLIA’s shower gel. It smells incredible, and makes my skin feel amazing.

6. Deodorant
Pretty self-explanatory, right? Smell good all over! My pick at the moment is Dove’s Clinical Protection.

7. Portable Mouthwash Packets
I can honestly say that I have no idea what I did before I discovered these convenient little things! Sure, there are the travel-sized mouthwash bottles… but nothing works quite as well as the Supersmile Fluoride Mouthwash Packets.

This entire line has whitened my teeth dramatically since I started using it two months ago, and I’m sure that these little packets had something to do with it, too. They take up virtually no room in my gym bag, and all I have to do to use them, is add a bit of water, swirl it around to dissolve the powder, and rinse. Dispose of the packet, and be on your way with a fresh breath and clean, smooth teeth.

8. Body Spray
Another self-explanatory item. I’ve been loving The Body Shop’s body sprays lately – can’t beat their sales, either!

9. Moisturizing Lip Gloss
So you probably won’t want to put on a ton of makeup at the gym – I sure don’t! But a bit of gloss can go a long way, especially when your lips are feeling a little chapped after all that heavy breathing you’ve been doing for an hour.

My gloss pick is Neutrogena’s MoistureGloss Lip Soother with SPF 20. I love it for how moisturizing and soothing it is to chapped lips, all while looking making me look polished without ANY effort.

Tinted moisturizer and a gloss are all you need to look hot!

10. Rich, Fast Absorbing Hand Cream in a Travel Size
Your palms are calloused for a reason! That skin on your palms is fragile, the least you can do is sooth it after lifting heavy weights for an hour straight!
