When it comes to packing your gym bag, what you wear on your skin can be just as important as what kit you pick. From restorative cleansers and fuss-free micellar water to a dry shampoo that perks your hair back up, these are the beauty products to use post workout.

1. THE MICELLAR WATER

Cleansing your skin post-workout is key and Verso have made the whole process easy. A calming micellar water, a quick swipe promises to remove light makeup and impurities (read: sweat) in an instant, without any need for a sink or water.

3. THE CHIC DEODERANT

Not a word we ever thought mattered when it came to deodorant, but the VinoFresh Deodorant from Caudalie looks good in your bag and works hard. Made from 98% natural-origin ingredients, it features eucalyptus to keep you feeling fresh, grape water to soothe the skin and vegetal glycol (sexier than it sounds) to eliminate bad bacteria. And this all happens in a rather attractive mint green package.
