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 |
Becca Raphael, SoulCycle Instructor
A Low-Maintenance Texturizing Spray: "I prefer to go the wavy route to maintain a low-maintenance look," says Raphael. And since she showers after all of her morning and evening classes, she's got her beach-waves routine down pat. "When my hair dries naturally it becomes this weird blend of loose waves and stick-straight strands," she says. To get beach waves right out of the shower, she sprays on Toni&Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray. "A few spritzes on damp hair and it'll dry exactly the way I need," she says.
Self Tanner: She's been using Clarins Intense Bronze Self Tanning Tint since high school to get a golden glow sans harmful UV exposure. She puts it on post-shower to keep her "glowing all day for the earliest classes and the ones late at night."
An Acne-Fighting Toner: "As a SoulCycle Instructor I sweat... a lot," Raphael says. "Unfortunately, genetics didn't bless me with the clearest skin. It's incredibly important for me to wash my face after every class, and I've found that I need to do more than just scrub away using the face wash in the bathroom. Adding a layer of [Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent] not only gets deeper into my pores, but it leaves me with the tingly feeling that reassures my cleanliness."
Concealer: "I teach a lot classes super early in the morning -- we're talking 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. -- multiple days a week. I need to make sure I look fresh and ready to go when riders walk in the doors at 5:30 a.m. With a quick swipe of [Benefit Boi-ing Concealer] under my eyes and a few dabs on my blemishes, it ensures I am looking not only awake, but wide-eyed and ready to have them pumped up for the rest of their day."
A Gentle Makeup Remover: The most essential items in her bag, though, are "baby oil and Christian Zamora's email address." To clarify, Zamora is her go-to for her "favorite beauty secret and addiction" -- eyelash extensions. "They make me look like I'm always wearing just a bit of mascara, which implies I woke up and actually got ready for my day ... for their maintenance, I always carry a little bottle of baby oil. It's the safest product to remove dirt, eyeliner, sweat, tears, etc. without wearing away the glue," she says.
