Post-Workout Chic

By Jane Iredale

Do you find yourself dashing from your workout studio directly to your car because you don’t feel like you look your best after exercising? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. Here are some tips on creating a great post-workout look in five minutes or less, so you feel comfortable sticking around afterward and can enjoy more of what your spa has to offer.

Pretty and Protected

Looking beautiful and protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays has never been easier. By adding five lightweight jane iredale products to your gym bag, you’ll be ready to achieve a flawless fresh face in seconds. They are available at Willow Stream Spas. For tutorials, see youtube.com/janeiredale.

Here’s how:

1. Cleanse your skin. We recommend using the Magic Mitt, which removes makeup and impurities from skin using only water. Its special micro-fibers don’t hold bacteria and treat skin to a light exfoliation with every use.

2. Protect your complexion. At jane iredale, we have developed mineral powders that combine the benefits of a concealer, foundation, powder and sunscreen in one product. Powder-Me SPF bears the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation as an effective UV sunscreen, making it an easy way to incorporate UVB/UVA SPF 30 into your daily routine. It comes in two shades: Translucent, which disappears on the skin, and Tanned, which gives you a healthy, golden glow. Simply dab the powder onto your skin and smooth it on with sponge.

3. Polish your look. Fortified with organic cocoa powder, In Touch Cream Blush comes in the universally flattering shades Clarity and Confidence. Apply it to the apple of the cheek with your finger or a brush — or dab this multipurpose product on your lips for a healthy pop of color.

4. Protect your lips. Lip Drink SPF 15, recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, will add a healthy shine while nourishing and protecting the lips.

5. Hydrate. Treat your complexion to an invigorating spritz of one of our three different hydration sprays. D20 plumps cells, while treating the senses to the intoxicating fragrance of real ylang ylang extract. Balance has a citrus aroma, and works to stabilize skin’s pH and oil production. POMMISST uses the antioxidants from organic pomegranate to boost skin’s protection against UV rays. In addition to smelling and feeling fantastic on the skin, all three sprays set the minerals in our powders for a radiant and dewy look.

From daytime, to playtime

You only need several items in your gym bag to move effortlessly from spa to soirée. Here’s another five-minute routine that will help you to look your best.

1. Even out skin tone. On cleansed skin, apply either Pure Matte or Brush-Me Matte. Pure Matte is a pressed powder in a compact. Brush-Me Matte is loose powder packaged in a travel-ready brush.

2. Polish your lips. With the lip exfoliator portion of the dual-ended Sugar & Butter, treat lips to a delectable rub of organic brown sugar to gently remove dry, dull skin. Use the lip plumper to add a dash of color to lips, with shea butter and peptides to keep your pout moist and plump.

3. Accent your eyes. The multipurpose Sunbeam has four different shades. Use the rust shade on the lids, the lightest shade on the brow bone, and the bronze shade on the crease and outer edge of eyes. Use the deep pink color to add a sensual shimmer to cheeks, lips and décolleté.

4. Just add water. Spritz your face with a Hydration Spray to give skin a dewy, radiant finish.
