Ok, I would like to think that I am not vain.  But, it does matter to me what I look like, no matter what I am doing.  You know what I’m talking about!  It’s time of year when everyone hits the gym.  It’s always better to go au natural when working out, but some women still insist on getting gussied up before hitting the gym.

If you don’t want to go out bare face to the gym, here are a few helpful tips to adopt to look good and feel more confident while working out:

*  Pull your hair back into a clean and simple ponytail, knot or braid.  Be sure to tame the fly aways. Try not use too much hair product, it seeps when you start to sweat.

*  Be sure to start with a clean face…. Use a cleanser specific to your skin type. Don’t forget to tone and moisturize too!

*  Avoid foundation…..try a tinted moisturizer or a mineral powder. They will allow your skin to breath while supplying a little color for a healthy looking skin.

*  Curl your Lashes first then use a Waterproof mascara, it is a must have and will stay put through a strenuous workout! No time for mascara? Try semi-permanent eye lash extensions, they last for weeks  &  no-one will know their not yours.

*  Use a lip tinted lip balm or a lip stain to accentuate your lips, try to keep it natural…… just have fun and keep it light.

I do believe than when you look good you feel good! Feeling good can make you feel more motivated to work out.
