The best thing you can have is a shower. But, if it is not possible, then you can wipe off the sweat with a towel and follow up with wet wipes from your face, chest, stomach to your legs. It will kill the sticky, sweaty feeling and make you feel fresh. But, do wash your face at least.

Curb Odour:

After wiping the sweat, sprinkle some baby powder on your body as well as feet, as it is a great way to get rid of post gym sweat and odor. As a moisture absorbent, the baby powder absorbs excess sweat in shoes, under arms or on feet and leaves you smelling fresh.

Change Your Clothes From Inside Out:

Even if you do not have time for a shower, there is no excuse to wear sweaty gym clothes, post gym. Change into fresh clothes and undergarments. Changing your lingerie and clothes are very important because the odour it gives is not good and also sweaty clothes can also leads to bacterial and fungal infections. Do not forget to use deodorizer, when you change your socks. It will kill bacteria and keep your feet smelling fresh.

  1. Lovely and most importantly, very practical tips Shreya. Thankfully, I go to the gym in the night and always have the time to take a shower. I liked the idea of using a face mist, I use a rose water everyday after workout.

  2. A facial mist is something that I carried to the gym to freshen up. I miss going to the gym so much reading these workout posts 🙁
