9 Products For Before, During & After Your At-Home Workout​

We may be in the midst of another lockdown, but that doesn’t mean we have to give up on the goals we had set ourselves for 2021. In fact we’re choosing to look on the bright side, and that means another opportunity to do all the things we said we’d do the last time around (and the time before that).

So, bake that banana bread. Learn to sew. Organise your makeup draw. This year, we’re doing it all. Top of our list? Plan a healthy fitness regime and stick to it. Yep, we’re ready to emerge from this lockdown stronger, leaner, and healthier versions of our former selves, and we’ve dropped the ultimate list of beauty products that will help us get there below.  

Let’s do this.  

Start your workout the right way with an alluminium-free deodorant like the Mario Badescu Deodorant. Natural deodorants allow your body to sweat, which is especially important when you’re working out as it’s your body’s way of cooling itself down. One of the benefits of at-home workouts is being in your own space, so you can finally wear your best grey gym co-ord in peace without feeling self-conscious about those sweat patches. The subtle rose scented formula will keep any unwanted smells at bay, leaving you feeling fresh, even after your twentieth burpee.

It’s almost time to give it your all, and that means no distractions. Tie your hair up with a Silke London Hair Tie to keep it away from your face whilst you focus on smashing that PB. These boujee bobbles are specially designed to prevent snapping, kinks, damage, and breakage whilst offering an extra secure hold, so they won’t let you (or your hair) down.

Forget cramped gym classes and queuing for equipment. Your at-home regime is all about you, and creating your perfect workout space is integral to getting in the zone to burn some energy. Whether you’re lifting weights or practicing your yoga moves, the Makeup Revolution Finding Balance Scented Candle is a great way to refresh your room, focus your mind, and set the right tone for a energised and effective workout.

At-home workouts are the perfect opportunity to take multi-masking to the next level. The By BEAUTY BAY Moisture Complex + Algae Face Mask it over your face and let it work its magic whilst you flex your muscles. The ultra-hydrating formula is designed to quench thirsty skin types, leaving your complexion looking fresher, healthier, and glowier by the time you’ve completed your last rep.  

Increased heart rate got you heating up? Congrats, you’re killing it! Cool your face down mid-workout with a few spritzes of Dr. Jart Cicapair Calming Mist. Instantly soothing the skin, this balancing spray hydrates the complexion, tames redness, and reduces inflammation to offer a refreshing and balancing boost. Now, onto the next set…

Just because you’re at home, doesn’t mean you need to let your standards slip, right? Maybelline Colossal Big Shot Waterproof Mascara is a game-changer for keeping the panda eyes away whilst you sweat it out in your lounge, and your lashes will still look flawless at the end of your workout – just in time for the selfie. If it isn’t on Insta, it didn’t happen! #FitFam

Helloooo endorphins. You can feel well and truly smug as you grab your COSRX Salicylic Acid Face Wash and hop in the shower. After you exercise, it’s really important to wash your face properly to cleanse away the sweat and bacteria that can clog your pores and cause breakouts if left for too long. This face wash is super effective and ultra-gentle on the skin, instantly dissolving oil, clearing the pores, and refreshing the complexion to leave it soft and clean without that tight, stripped feeling.  

Sore muscles? Don’t sweat it. Massage some BeYou CBD Body Balm into the skin to help soothe the pain and relax the tension. Don’t forget to allow your body plenty of time to rest and recover before tackling your next power lifting sesh – you earned it!

Sleep and exercise go hand in hand as sleep gives your body the valuable time it needs to recover and repair ready for your next session. Set yourself up for success by indulging in a nice bubble bath before bed and a generous spritz of Cowshed Sleepy Calming Pillow Mist on your pillow. The soft, citrusy scent and bespoke essential oils will have you pushing up the zzzs in no time.
