Every good workout needs good hair and makeup! Here are the right hair and beauty accessories to get through those rough spin cycle classes, Zumba workouts, or treadmill days!

Baby powder is a multi-use product known for its dry-shampoo qualities. However, most people don’t realize it makes a great pressed powder! It will decrease the sweat that compiles on the face and absorb oil so that your skin stays looking flawless.
It is important to avoid wearing makeup. Makeup is known to clog pores during a workout. It will seep into skin and cause major breakouts later. Grab a Neutrogena makeup wipe and clear all traces off before hopping on the elliptical.
Post Workout Beauty Products
Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets are a staple in any beauty repertoire. Their absorbent power is a miracle for anyone looking to wipe away sweat or oil! They help stop bacterial growth so skin will stay healthy and shine-free!
Most people don’t know this, but rose water is really good for the skin. Rose water has antiseptic qualities and has been used to treat acne and acne scars for a really long time. It can be made by distilling rose petals in boiling water, or it can be purchased in health food stores such as Whole Foods. It will prevent acne from forming and give your skin a needed glow.
Pre-Workout Hair Products
A headband is an absolute must before heading out the door. It will keep hair off of the face in order to prevent the gross mix of sweat and hair chemicals. Hair clinging to the scalp during a workout builds up acne around the hairline, which can easily be prevented. If you’re going to a yoga class try a large headband that covers a lot of the head. For a more physically intensive workout, a headband with a sticky adhesive on the top is a more suitable fit. It won’t move during those crunches or push-ups.
Post Workout Hair Products
Dry shampoo is a must for after the gym. The hairline is one of the first places to become sweaty during a hard workout. Simply spray the dry shampoo at the roots for volume and lift, and then tease roots with a comb. Pull hair back with an elastic into a ponytail, and voila! A perfect ponytail with little effort.
