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.
Throwback Lip Balm: The old school find in her bag? Carmex. She uses it on the inside of her lips as well as the outside. "It's a little trick a lot of fitness professionals use because it causes your upper lip to naturally slide up which makes you automatically smile. Happy Teacher equals a happy class."
Lotion "I always have lotion in my bag, I workout a ton and I need to keep my body moisturized," Stone says. Her favorite is Origins A Perfect World.
Razor: "As a fitness pro I wear a ton of tank tops," she says. Hence, the continual presence of a BIC Disposable Razor in her gym bag.
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.
A Tinted Moisturizer: "For ... tinted moisturizer, Marie Veronique Organic makes one that I've been using for years. It feels really clean and light, and successfully evens skin tone without looking too heavy."
Do-It-All Pots: "A few pots of RMS can add a quick polish without looking overly made up," she says. She always has on-hand a Lip2Cheek Stain and Living Luminizer.
Roll-On Deodorant: "I'm always on the run, and often go straight from the gym and on with my day (no time for outfit changes)," she says. She uses Rexona Roll-On Deodorant to stay fresh.
A Multi-tasking Tint: "When I'm after that natural post-workout flush on the cheeks, Modelco Cheek & Lip Tint does just the trick, all while keeping my lips healthy and hydrated."
A Natural Blush: "I'm a fanatic about Nars Blush in Orgasm," she says. "It's just the right shade of peachy pink to give my face that natural, soft glow."
CC Cream: "No gym bag is complete without the Giorgio Armani CC Cream. Whenever I wear it, I always get compliments on how healthy I look, even if I am operating on four hours of sleep."
A BPA-free Waterbottle: She totes around Vie Active Life Water Bottle, made with BPA free plastic, to "hydrate in style."
