GOOD TO GO

FACE FACTS

Always, always, always wash your face post-workout. If you go to the gym, you know they tend to be kind of gross. You’ve got a bunch of sweaty people sharing the same equipment, potentially without disinfecting it properly, touching everything from the water fountains to the lockers to the dumbbells. Then there’s the inevitability of touching your face, potentially spreading germs and bacteria onto your own skin and into your pores.

MULTI-TASKING SPACE SAVERS

Say hello to your all-in-one solution to gym shaving and beard care. Not only are they more convenient to schlepp to the gym, oils are typically made with natural, antibacterial ingredients, great for post-workout stressed and sensitive skin. For men with beards or moustaches, a shave oil maks it easier to get that symmetry and see where you’re shaving, whilst also nourishing and conditioning beard or stubble.

GRIME BUSTERS

Cheap gym-provided body wash isn’t doing your skin any favours. In all likelihood it’s messing with your skin’s natural pH balance, leaving your skin feeling dry and scaly.

BODY OF WORK

It’s an all too common practice. You’ve finished a workout, you’re knackered, and all you want to do is get out of the gym and grab an energy-boosting smoothie. So, you splash down in the shower, throw on your clothes and head out the door without a second thought. But after body heat increases, excess sweating and skin abrasions from dragging your chest over the pull-up bar, your body is likely also in need of a little TLC.

GIVE BO THE BOOT

It’s a no-brainer that sweating comes with the territory. While deodorant only works on the smell (caused not by your sweat directly, but the bacteria on your skin that feeds on it), antiperspirants are specifically designed to reduce sweat because it usually has an aluminum-based formula which blocks sweat release on the skin surface. No excuses—a roll on or stick deo, antiperspirant or combo, really doesn’t take up much space and will no doubt increase your popularity points.

GO FOR THE COMBO

After you’re done washing and preening, it’s time to apply the finishing touch. Polish off your post-gym grooming regimen with a moisturiser that includes UV protection. As any dermatologist will tell you, hydrating your skin not only keeps it smooth and strong, but the added sunscreen reduces the UV-induced (from the sun or office lighting) photo-damage that leads to skin cancer and premature ageing.
