All The Beauty Essentials In The Team’s Gym Bags

Dry Shampoo, £13 | Davines
Scheduling hair washing around workouts is no mean feat. After a non-sweaty class, I rely on Davines' Dry Shampoo to breathe life back into my hair. It's extremely effective at soaking up oil, plus the creamy scent is so soothing.

Gentle Reset™ Daily Exfoliating Pads, £43 | Summer Fridays
After a mat Pilates or yoga class, I don’t always need a shower but I still want to refresh my skin, especially before heading into the office. These pads are pre-soaked in a blend of acids, with aloe and glycerin to calm and hydrate. My skin is quite sensitive to acids but has no reaction to these, and they leave behind a bright and smooth base for make-up. It’s also super convenient that they come in individual packs.

The Water Cream, £67 | Tatcha
I don’t like to work out without doing any skincare – particularly this time of year when skin is more susceptible to dryness – but it’s pointless putting on anything heavy or layered as it just sweats right off. Tatcha’s Water Cream moisturiser is so lightweight and sinks into the skin immediately, acting as a quick hit of hydration pre-workout.

Shea (Karité) Hand Cream, £27 | L'Occitane
I'm an outdoor runner rather than an avid gym goer but before and after a cold jog I smother my hands in L'Occitane's Shea Karité hand cream. It’s thick, rich texture prevents dry and cracked hands by moisturising and protecting the skin's barrier. Plus, a little goes a long way, so a 150ml tube lasts me the whole winter.

Santal & Vetiver Deodorant, £20 | Salt & Stone
I tend to stick to lower-impact workouts like yoga or reformer Pilates – though anyone who’s braved a hot class knows they can still leave you seriously sweaty. This roll-on deodorant smells incredible. It's an investment but the scent and formula makes it worth it. It also delivers impressive antiperspirant power, promising to neutralise odour for up to 48 hours. Even better, the clean formula forgoes aluminium, dyes, parabens, phthalates and alcohol – so it works hard without any of the usual nasties.

Skin-Loving Coconut Vanilla Antiperspirant Deodorant, £2 (was £4) | Gem
I won’t leave the house without this deodorant tucked into my gym bag. It’s my go-to both pre- and post-workout – keeping sweat at bay while also delivering a cooling hit after even the most intense sessions. The skin-loving formula is enriched with premium ingredients like hyaluronic acid, shea butter and vitamin E, so it works hard without compromising on care, plus it the scent is delicious.

DePuffi Contrast Therapy Sculpting Tool, £179.99 | Shark
Post-swim and sauna, the Shark DePuffi is my absolute go-to. The hot and cold therapy is incredibly soothing on flushed skin. It instantly de-puffs and leaves my face feeling fresher, more sculpted and ready for bed.

Apricot Electrolytes, £22.40 | Humantra
Staying hydrated when I’m busy is hard enough and throwing a workout into the mix makes it even tougher. Adding electrolytes to my water helps me stay on track with my hydration goals and work harder. Plus, these Humantra ones taste so good.
