This is a demo of my first post "Pt. 1: Pre-Gym Prep | Gym Beauty Essentials Series" — and it's a full on tutorial of my skin prep. Btw, all of my items are linked in my Linktree as well #commissionedearned. Feeling fresh, hydrated, and a little put-together gives me confidence and focus. This is my quick beauty prep routine that works with sweat, not against it. It’s lightweight, effective, and perfect for active days.
Here’s what I use before every workout (and yes, I’ve tried a lot of products — these are the ones I keep coming back to):
🫧 Bubble Headband
Shop here → I start with this soft bubble headband to keep my hair out of my face while I prep my skin. It’s cute, comfortable, and stays in place while I go through my routine.
💧 innisfree Hyaluronic Serum
Shop here →Lightweight and super hydrating. This serum sinks in fast and keeps my skin plump without feeling sticky — perfect before a sweat session.
👀 Byoma De-Puff & Brighten Eye Gel
Shop here →This cooling gel wakes up my eyes and reduces puffiness. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t pill under SPF or tint — ideal for early workouts.
💋 LANEIGE Lip Balm
Shop here →My go-to for soft, hydrated lips. It adds the perfect amount of shine without being too glossy — and it actually lasts through a workout.
💦 Skin Multi-Quench Plumping Hydration Serum
Shop here →I layer this serum on top when my skin needs a little extra moisture boost. It gives a subtle glow and doesn’t clog pores.
🧴 ROUNDLAB SPF 45
Shop here →SPF is non-negotiable. This one is lightweight, dries clear, and doesn’t sting when I sweat. It also plays nicely under makeup or on its own.
💡 Why This Routine Works
Each product in this routine is designed to work with your skin — not mask it. They're quick to apply, won’t clog your pores, and leave you feeling clean and confident. Whether you're going full-glam after or just grabbing a smoothie post-lift, this base keeps you feeling your best.
Let me know if you try any of these — or if you have a gym beauty fave I should test next!
