5 Cleansing Wipes to Keep in Your Gym Bag for a Post-Workout Refresh

After an intense workout, you’re probably feeling on top of the world, but don’t let that endorphin rush distract you from remembering to take care of your skin. It’s important to cleanse after working out to prevent breakouts, especially if you sweat a lot. Freshen up your skin on the go with a makeup wipe — no sink or bottle of face wash needed. Keep reading for our favorite cleansing wipes to use after the gym.

L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Makeup Removing Wipes

These gentle cloths are formulated with vitamin E to soften skin as they cleanse and lift away grime. They also lightly exfoliate to avoid buildup of dead skin cells. The convenient travel-size pack makes them easy to toss in your gym bag or purse. 

Garnier Skinactive Clean+ Charcoal Oil-Free Makeup Remover Wipes

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, these are the makeup wipes for you. Charcoal helps reduce excess sebum and draw out pore-clogging dirt. The wipes are oil- and paraben-free, as well as dermatologist-tested.

CeraVe Makeup Removing Cleanser Cloths

While these wipes are approved for all skin types, they’re especially great for sensitive skin that may feel irritated by too-harsh cleansers. These are free of drying sulfates and potential irritants like fragrance and are ophthalmologist-tested to clean the eye area. 

Kopari Beauty Hydrating Coconut Melt Wipes

These biodegradable wipes come in single-serve packets small enough to toss in your wallet or pocket if you don’t carry a bag with you to work out. Organic coconut oil makes them super hydrating and effective for cutting through stubborn sunscreen and waterproof makeup.

NUDESTIX NUDESKIN Vegan Bamboo Cleansing Cloths

Exfoliate and cleanse simultaneously with these natural AHA-soaked cloths. Coconut oil cleansers melt away makeup while malic acid brightens and evens out the skin.
