Why Trust Us
Disclosure
Wearing makeup during your workout doesn’t mean that you’re vain, shallow or only interested in picking up a date… Perhaps wearing it makes you feel a little happier and more confident in your skin. Who wants to worry about eye-bags and blemishes when you’re smashing a PB?
If it helps you to feel fitter, stronger and more confident then we’re all for it. The likelihood is your workouts will be far more productive anyway, so go ahead, get your game face on.
But wait a minute… isn’t makeup and sweat a recipe for disaster? Won’t it leave us with panda eyes and clogged pores leading to congestion and breakouts? Aren’t we supposed to get rid of toxins through sweat rather than trapping them under layers of foundation? Aren’t we just going to wash it off in the shower afterwards anyway?
To a degree yes… but here’s the catch. What if your makeup was designed to work with your sweat to deliver vital vitamins, SPF and nourishing oils as you worked out. Does such a product line exist? Yes it does…
SportFX is a modern day makeup and skincare brand, created by women, for women. Their sole purpose? To create products that will go the distance whether you’re hitting the gym, completing a triathlon or even just heading to post-work drinks. You won’t have to worry about your makeup so you can focus on other more important things, like smashing that treadmill or getting that promotion at work.
Want to know how to achieve your ultimate game face, whilst nourishing your skin in the process? Here’s their 10 step guide…
