15 Beauty Products To Throw In Your Gym Bag

Working out can be invigorating — blood starts circulating, and happiness-inducing endorphins flood your system. But feeling great on the inside doesn't mean you're feeling great on the outside. There's nothing worse than feeling gross and goopy after a workout, and these 15 beauty products for the gym are perfect to throw in your gym bag this summer.

Everyone has their own definition of beauty. Some like to go in full beat to the gym (like myself), while others like to go liberatingly makeup-free. But we can all agree that working out can wreak havoc on our bodies, internally and externally. Maybe you come straight from work and need to remove your makeup in a flash before your yoga class. Perhaps your going from your local gym to a first date without time for a full shower. Or maybe you're running through Central Park before meeting your friends for Sunday brunch. These 15 products make the transition from working to working out to going out even easier.

All of these items are travel-friendly and won't take up super valuable space in your coat/purse/backpack. Many of them are specifically geared toward the active mover, and a majority are sweat-proof and multi-use. If you're tired of looking like a panda after your cardio tap class, then get ready for these pre- and post-workout products that are almost as powerful as you.
