Whether you go to the gym to slog it out on the treadmill, swim or join in with a class, the chances are you’re rather hot and sweaty by the time you finish. Dealing with your skin after any sort of exercise is important and here at Pure Beauty, we’ve got a few favourite products which are essential for keeping in our gym bags.
Decleor Daily Defence Fluid Shield SPF30
If you prefer getting outside to exercise, with a game of football of netball for instance, then you’ll probably need a decent sunscreen to ensure that the only redness on your face is from over-exertion and not sun damage. Decleor Daily Defence Fluid Shield is a light-weight sun protection which won’t make your skin feel coated and heavy and will offer a shield from the suns harmful rays and the primary signs of aging.
Decleor Brightening Cleansing Foam
Decleor offers a wide range of cleansers for all number of skin types, but sometimes you want a product which can just be taken into the shower with you when you’re in a rush. Decleor Brightening Cleansing Foam is an all-purpose creamy cleanser which cleanses deeply and also works on evening patchy complexions.
Decleor Harmonie Calm Soothing Milky Cream
Swimming in a chlorine-laden pool is a fantastic way to get a full body workout, but spending time amongst the chemicals can be gruelling for your skin, which is why a moisturiser is essential once you get out of the pool. We recommend Decleor Harmonie Calm Soothing Milky Cream which is specially formulated to soothe irritated and sensitive skin, whilst reinforcing the skins own barriers against environmental pollutants.
Decleor Circulagel Refreshing Leg Gel
Workouts like a spin class are amazing at getting your blood pumping but they leave even the fittest gym bunny feeling pretty knackered afterwards (well, they do if you’re doing it right!) so a product like Decleor Circulagel Refreshing Leg Gel will feel like a real treat in your aching lower limbs. The cooling and toning gel helps reduce the unpleasant effect of “heavy legs” and will help to revive tired legs.
Dermalogica Shine Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner
Hair is one place which often suffers with exercise – scraped back in a ponytail and covered in sweat, it’s important to use a good shampoo and conditioner to remove the oils and build up of products, as well as a smoothing conditioner which will nourish and strengthen hair as well as relieving any potential irritation to your scalp.
