Anyone else obsessed with the gym RN? Of course, if we’re going for a sweat sesh we want to make sure we’re lookin hella fine throughout and after. We’ve curated an edit of the best gym products and sweat-proof makeup to make sure you’re feelin’ yourself while making gains.
Of course, there’s a lot of debate about wearing makeup to the gym. Generally when you sweat and your pores expand, you don’t wanna have any products on your face which could block pores and therefore break you out. It makes sense.
However, if you’re the sorta person who feels more confident with their brows on fleek or with a base, then we want to recommend the products that will see you through with minimal consequences. Cos breakouts are boring.
Along with the best sweat-proof makeup, we’ve found the best beauty gym products including skincare and hair products to add to your gym-bag.
