Beauty Tips
Steal These Fitness Gurus' Gym Bag Beauty EssentialsLooking good while you sweat takes work. Here, the get-gorgeous, stay-gorgeous products no gym bag should be without |
Madeleine Starkey, SoulCycle Instructor
A Gentle Cleansing Regimen: An arsenal of Pratima Spa's face cleanser, oils and SPF have set up permanent residence in Starkey's bag. "I literally don't leave home without these Ayurvedic skin care products because as a SoulCycle instructor who is constantly sweating, I need a cleansing regimen that's gentle enough to cleanse my face multiple times a day but strong enough to stave off congested pores that inevitably -- for me -- turn into breakouts if not militantly cared for," she says.
An All-Natural Deodorant: "I believe the body should perspire when it needs to perspire, so I avoid antiperspirant at all costs," she says. That's why she opts for Weleda Deodorant in the citrus scent. She raves that the all-natural formula "makes your sweat smell good (relatively speaking)."
A Nourishing Cuticle Cream: One of Starkey's biggest pet peeves: raggedy fingernails. She relies on Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream to keep her digits in tip-top condition. As fitness instructors ... we communicate so much with our hands, and sometimes there's no time for a proper manicure, so the cuticle cream is a quick fix for any unsightly, dehydrated nails and cuticles," she explains.
A Signature Scent: She's worn Hermès Eau des Merveilles (a woodsy and citrusy scent without a hint of florals) for seven years, and swears it's no exaggeration that she's complimented on it at least once a day. "I keep one bottle in my makeup bag and one at home so I'm never without it, because let's be honest: smelling good is super important!"
Concealer: "I never wear makeup when I teach since my skin is so sensitive, but sometimes a dab or two of [Make Up For Ever Lift Concealer] transforms my face from tired to alive right before class--or anything else my day holds," she says.
