These on-the-go beauty essentials will accentuate your post-workout glow.

Cleanse

Micellar wipes effortlessly remove makeup and dirt, sans water, leaving skin fresh, hydrated and moisturised.

Our pick: NIVEA 3-in-1 Care Cleansing Micellar Wipes

Freshen up

Active lives need high-performance defense. An aluminium-free deodorant can provide long-lasting freshness without nasties.

Our pick: LaVanila Sport Luxe The Healthy Deodorant

Cool down

Facial mist will instantly cool and calm a flushed face, replenishing moisture stripped from the skin.

Our pick: Jurlique Citrus Purifying Mist

Touch up

Even out skin tone with a tinted moisturiser. A lightweight formula won’t clog pores or mask that endorphin-induced glow you worked so hard to achieve.

Our pick: Napoleon Perdis Off Duty Tinted Moisturiser

Oil control

Freshen hair after a workout with a few spritzes of dry shampoo and keep it looking fresh in between washes.

Our pick: De Lorenzo Essential Treatments Absorb Dry Shampoo

Show off that glow

Aim for minimal makeup. A highlighter or illuminator on cheeks will accentuate a healthy glimmer; add waterproof mascara for smudge-free eyes and a tinted lip balm for that pop of colour.

Our pick: Nude by Nature Contour Palette

Now that you have your gym essentials sorted, here's what he needs to pack in his gym bag.
