And that probably means you cant squeeze in a shower.
Heres how you might get back to work quickly without feeling like a sweaty, stinky mess.
Pick your favorite brand and throw a travel-sized pack in your kit.
Facial cleansing wipes: Yes, these are different.
Theyre not as harsh on your skin and they smell nicer.
it’s possible for you to usually find them by the makeup removers in the store.
Dry shampoo: Your hair will feel wet, sweaty, and gross after your workout.
Dry shampoo lets you undo all of that super fast.
There are tons of brands out there, but our staff likes Batiste.
You may also want to consider a hair refresher or spray moisturizer.
Deodorant/Antiperspirant: This should be obvious.
Once youve wiped away the sweat you need something to ensure you smell good.
Go with something fresh and clean-smelling as opposed to something perfume-like for the sake of your coworkers.
If you dont want to use deodorant or antiperspirant, diluted essential oils can work too.
Preventative measures mean less cleanup.
Same goes for bras.
You shouldnt be heading into the office wearing anything you wore during the workout.
A frozen water bottle: This isnt for drinking, so its in addition to your normal water bottle.
If your face gets really red when you exercise, youre going to want this.
when you obtain your kit put together, youre ready to hit the gym and get your swell on.
It keeps excess moisture from building up and caking your whole head with sweat.
And put your hair up, or put on your hair band.
Now you’ve got the option to begin.
If theres a gym hair dryer, put it on cool and fan your face and hair.
Or stand outside for a minute or two if its cool out or theres a breeze.
Apply another layer of dry shampoo to your hair and check that it gets distributed evenly.
You dont want any spots.
Wipe your face with your facial cleansing wipes.
Youre working from the top down here.
If you happened to get any dry shampoo on your face youll be able to wipe it off here.
Use your non-facial wet wipes to clean up the rest of your body.
If you know you sweat a lot somewhere, make it a priority.
Now put on your fresh pair of undergarments.
This gives your body a few seconds to dry so you might…
Apply your deodorant, antiperspirant, or diluted essential oils, then put on your work clothes.
Restyle your hair and reapply makeup if you have time and would like to do so.
This should all take no more than five to ten minutes.
But wait, your face is still all red!
You dont want to head into your meeting looking all flustered like that.
Remember the frozen water bottle?
This will cool the blood going to your face and change your skin tone back to normal.
