We’re not the girls putting on a full face of makeup to hit the Stairmaster at the gym — and we’re pretty sure you’re not that girl either. When we’re ready to break a sweat, we’ll let a little vanity go, but not the quality of our skin. While we may not need to look picture-perfect while we workout, we’re also not willing to allow post-sweat breakouts, sun damage or wildly weird hair to happen either.
Lately, we’re seeing more and more cleverly designed products that are literally made for sweating our faces off, and a few to help us quickly recover after. From a glow-inducing face serum that’s activated by body heat and movement to an ultra-hydrating, hyaluronic lip balm, these beauty products are perfect for sporty people who want to maximize that glowy skin…
Kosasport LipFuel | This energizing and ultra-hydrating hyaluronic lip balm delivers a healing dose of active botanicals like konjac root (which creates a gel-like barrier between lips and the environment) and wild mint (which soothes and energizes). The balm is deeply hydrating as well as cruelty- and gluten-free. CHECK OUT
vive sana sunscreen | If you’re taking your workout outside this summer, this multi-tasking product will be your best friend. It works as a hydrating day cream, a serious SPF, and a potent serum. The formula features four hydrating oils—argan, apricot, avocado, and jojoba—plus glycerin to soften and further moisturize skin. Antioxidant astaxanthin, green tea, red raspberry, rosemary, and vitamin E soothe and even skin tone. It feels incredible, sinks in instantly, and leaves skin healthy, glowing, and protected.

a gua sha stone | Using a gau sha stone to depuff your face every day? Try one after a sweaty class on a few sore muscles! Simply slather on a layer of body oil or lotion and gently dig into knots until you feel them release. We especially love doing this around our hip flexors, our chest, and our jaw where tension can quickly build up causing headaches and breakouts. CHECK OUT
M-61 POWERGLOW PEEL | The ideal post gym beauty routine is quick and effective — like these peel pads. In just one minute, the exfoliating peel resurfaces, clarifies and helps to firm the skin for a serious just-had-a-facial glow. Glycolic and salicylic acids are the MVP ingredients that help reduce pore size and fine lines, while chamomile and lavender help calm and soothe skin. CHECK OUT
YUNI SHOWER SHEETS | No shower in the studio? Or no time to spare before heading to your next thing? No worries. We love these super soft, biodegradable wipes to instantly cleanse, refresh, and deodorize. Key ingredients include neem leaf extract (which deodorizes, calms skin, and soothes inflammation), aloe (which softens your skin) and peppermint leaf oil which acts as a mild antiseptic, reducing bacterial activity on the skin.

LULULEMON SWEAT RESET MOISTURIZER | Splash your face with water after an intense workout, slather some of this stuff on and go. This breathable, weightless gel features an innovative tri-active formula that helps reset a flushed face back to its pre-workout color. It’s formulated for most skin types, even oily and acne-prone. Algae helps cleanse the skin, menthyl provides a non-irritating cooling effect, and pomegranate enzyme gently exfoliates to get skin extra glowy. CHECK OUT
