Summer is here and in our efforts to keep or find (smiling) our best body, we are hitting the gym, doing outdoor activities or whatever we can to have the coveted two-piece worthy abs, a lovely lady lump, and something up top to keep the bikini up. People have asked how to maintain their looks while working out. Truth is sweat and makeup doesn't really mix ladies. If we want beautiful, healthy skin we will have to forego the makeup when working out......but for those who must I have suggestions.
First powder is a no-no since it will clog your pores. Try using a tinted moisturizer with a hint of shimmer to give your skin a healthy glow. Try Burt Bees Tinted Moisturizer, it’s friendly on the wallet and comes in a range of colors. For a more luxe alternative try Laura Mercier’s TM. Finding one with an SPF of 15 is best. Try not to go too high on the SPF though because darker skin doesn't require as much due to more pigmentation the higher ones tend to leave our skin with a chalky appearance. Also a cream blush stick that is multi-purpose and can be used for the cheeks and lips work well to add a little color to your face without you needing the whole bathroom counter in your gym bag. I like Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks, they also come in a variety of colors.
P.S. Remember to keep a bottle of mint spray or mints handy, you never know who's checking you out and fresh breath is always sexy
