Once your base is set in place, you can open and define the eyes with a waterproof mascara and/or eyeliner. The Eyeko Sport Waterproof Duo contains both the brands trusty Waterproof Mascara and Waterproof Eyeliner that will protect you from panda eyes. The completely water and sweat resistant formulas offer an intense black pigment that coats and lifts the lashes and enhances your natural eye shape to add that subtle touch definition whilst you workout.
“If lifting your lashes is something you like to do along with lifting weights, but hate getting that panda eye look, here is my top tip. Before you workout, or even at the start of the day, give your eyes a jolly good lash curl.”

3. Protect and hydrate lips with a tinted balm

Lips need protection, too! Sweat can dry out the delicate skin on the lips along with the sun, therefore protection is key to keep your pout plump. Running outdoors also exposes your skin to the elements, so it’s best to use a nourishing and SPF enriched balm to shield it.
With a tinted lip balm, not only do you give the lips the moisture they need, you also benefit from a subtle pop of colour. The Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Lip Cream SPF15 comes in 11 stunning shades, including clear, coating the lips with a lightweight, luxurious formula. A blend of Tucuma, Cupuaçu and Murumuru Butter softens and conditions the lips whilst essential fatty acids and SPF 15 keep them protected from external aggessors and damaging UV rays.

“As a makeup artist, I see many people at this time of year with super chapped lips. Exercise and the cold can dehydrate and crack lips, so protection is key. Pre sweating, use a longwearing moisturising lip balm, ideally with an SPF to protect your pout.”
4. Post-workout, refresh the skin with a cooling mist

£20.00
Through sweat, the skin can lose a lot of its essential moisture and become dry, so it’s important to rehydrate. Immediately applying moisturiser post-workout can lead to breakouts, so it's better to go in with something a little more lightweight. A cooling mist effortlessly boosts your moisture levels, quenching the skin without clogging the pores. The Cool It Mist uses Hyaluronic Acid to draw and lock moisture into the complexion, while Glicirretic Acid calms, helping to reduce the post-workout redness.
“Loss of water and hydration during and after exercising is the number one skin damager. But applying any form of cream or gel moisturiser is not easy with hot sweaty skin. Instead, try a super hydrating cooling mist. Think of them as a drink of water for the face, moisture in a mist.”
