From Workout to Go Out: Skip the Shower with These 5 Post-Gym Products

From Workout to Go Out: Skip the Shower with These 5 Post-Gym Products

Picture this: You’re powering through a workout—the sweat is flowing; the tunes are bumping—and you receive a text message from your crush.

Meet for drinks in an hour?”

Alas, your excitement turns to dread when you realize if you’re going to make it…you’re not going to have time to shower.

*Screams into the void*

Don’t let this happen to you. With these five easily transportable (aka, always leave them in your gym bag) beauty products, you’ll be heading to drinks, falling in love, and getting married in no time.

Deodorant

You’ve likely applied this pre-workout, but a post-workout, roll-on antiperspirant is your first line of defense in a shower-skipping routine. In three bright scents all featuring florals, you’ll be fresh as a daisy (pun intended).

Hair Mist

When you release your tresses from that haphazard ponytail and get hit with the scent of sweat, you may think all hope is lost. You’d be wrong. One part spray-on refreshment, one part light fragrance, this mighty mist does double duty to hydrate and freshen up a once musty mane.

Body Lotion

We’ve covered hair and armpits, but what about the rest of you? Simply apply a light layer of our new Daring Body Lotion to your arms and legs. Pro tip: Either give sweat time to dry or pat dry with a towel before putting on lotion (trust us, this is a key).

Daring Eau de Parfum

Have you tried fragrance layering? When you use the Daring Body Lotion and add a little spritz of Daring Eau de Parfum, you’re totally locking in that scent (warning: At this point, you’ll smell so good you may be tempted to skip the shower entirely for the day. Please, shower.).

Lip Gloss

Whether you actually are meeting a crush or friends or whoever else thinks it’s appropriate to give you one-hour notice for a social event, a pretty pout pulls everything together. It’s that subtle pop of shine that makes everyone believe it’s not sweat, it’s gloss.
