The true nature of a good fitness routine is going to leave you a little sweaty. My sweat is welcome and always leaves me feeling validated my workout was well, working for me. It’s proof I removed some toxins and increased my core temperature enough that my body needed to cool down. So how does one 34-year-old woman with dry, but somehow acne prone skin keep skin clear, moisturized and most importantly, protected from UV rays?
Before I grab the kids from kid’s club I run to the women’s locker room and quickly cleanse my skin with Daily Polishing Cleanser. Since it’s that powder formula you don’t have to worry about it exploding in your bag or anything.
After a workout, I tend to get fairly red so I use Corrective Soothing Serum to restore the calm. I follow up by tapping some Phyto-Active Eye Serum it gives off a very slight (read: totally natural) glow that immediately brightens tired-mom eyes look 10x more rested. I gently blend it in and spread whatever is left evenly across my hands. The eye serum contains this thing called Standstill Rose Damas which is known for it’s ability to slow the aging of skin cells which let’s be real, is totally something we can all get behind especially in delicate areas like eyes and hands! My next step is Hydra Radiance Moisturizer. It contains vitamin C so it actually is helping brighten the skin while leaving it looking more luminous with botanical brighteners. I tap it on my forehead and cheek bones before lightly applying it all over. Next I apply my favorite tinted-moisturizer. I wear shade light all the time and add in some bronzing drops to the formula on the back of my hand when I am lucky enough to be on the darker end of the spectrum (usually thanks to a spray tan). Last is the lipstick I’m not a huge makeup person for everyday, but I do love a good lippie (or 36 if you dig through my bag) and Glo Skin Beauty has some of the best clean ones on the market because they have really good color payoff and they’re moisturizing. I am wearing ‘Zen’ in these photos – it’s the perfect everyday nude that I couldn’t live without.
That’s all I need for clear post-gym skin. This all fits perfectly in one small cosmetics bag and takes less than 5-minutes to apply. For more glamorous days, I shared all the makeup products I use which lists so many clean-beauty musts from Glo Skin Beauty if you’re in the market for clean makeup that lasts all day. They seriously have the most gorgeous colors. Use code BETHANN15 to save on your order.
