Great Grooming Essentials For Your Gym Bag

Gone are the days of the skin-desiccating, hair-destroying all-in-one hair and body wash. This indulgent yet effective offering from Bamford is part of a sports range designed to refresh and enhance recovery post workout. Thanks to tea tree leaf extract, sweet orange essential oil, aloe vera and patchouli oil, it’s a soothing, anti-inflammatory hero we rate.

This has become one of the most popular men’s natural roll-ons thanks to its winning combination of santal and vetiver scent plus added skincare benefits. Using hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, it won’t dry or annoy your skin. The gel is also invisible, leaving behind no annoying white cast on clothes. Oh, it’s a natural deodorant that actually works too.

If you don’t like fussing with multiple skincare products or steps at the best of times, we doubt you’ll pick up the habit post-gym. Instead, invest in one really good, hardworking face cream that’ll get the job done, fast. Hydrating, moisturising but gentle, CeraVe has amassed a cult following for a reason.

This mousse can go into wet hair to add texture as it dries. Simply work it into your roots then give it a blast of heat – or even just let it air dry. It’ll add a bit of volume and a subtle shine, while also protecting the hair.

A spritz of a good cologne is a great final step. There are tons of travel size options out there, but we like Tom Ford for its long-lasting, luxe scents. Ombre Leather is a classic. Musky, mature and with subtle fresh notes, it’s the perfect all-rounder.

Last but not least, a washbag will keep your grooming essentials from forever swimming around just out of reach at the bottom of your gym bag. Waterproof, easy to clean, sleek and affordable, this one from Rains is a no-brainer.
