Your Ultimate Gym Checklist

If you’ve ever gone to the gym before work, then congratulations! It’s a great idea. Although, it’s not so great when you discover that you only have 15 minutes to take off your women’s gym apparel, and take your look from sweaty to smart, when every other woman has decided to do the same. Add to this – limited mirror space, half-naked people, and hair so frizzy that you’re considering skipping work.

However, there’s no need to panic. These smart, affordable and simple products will have you looking sharp and sweat-free in no time:

1. Face wipes are the ultimate must-have for gym goers. Get a glowing complexion by using one post work-out to remove sweat and old make-up. Try Johnsons Daily Essentials Cleansing Face Wipes $6.99 at beautyheaven.com.au
