Five beauty products in under five minutes? Challenge accepted! For a quick refresher either pre- or post-workout, these handy gym bag essentials will have you prepped and ready for action.

Nivea 3-in-1 Care Cleansing Micellar Wipes for Eyes, Lips and Face, $10.90
Infused with micellar water and vitamin E, these gentle wipes remove makeup thoroughly, without stripping moisture from the skin. The result? Fresh, clean skin all set for an intense gym session, or for the next step in your beauty routine.

Shu Uemura Stage Performer Block:Booster Protective Moisture Primer, $65
Set your base right with this three-in-one moisturiser, primer and sunscreen. It corrects and brightens dull skin, boosts hydration and blocks harmful UV rays, all in one sweep.

L’Oréal Paris Brow Artist Chisel Straight, $19.90
For effortless brow application on the go, we recommend this multi-tasker. Simply shape and fill in your brows with the felt tip, then use the combing brush to spread out the product, and voilà, fuller-looking brows in record time.

Moonshot Lip Feat in Peach and Cream, $29
Doubling as a cream blush, this lipstick glides on as a cream and is easily blended with your fingers. Dab some on lips and cheeks for a healthy, barely-there flush.

Percy & Reed No-Fuss Fabulousness Dry Shampoo, $14
Dry shampoo is ideal to restore body to limp hair after a workout, and this number from Percy & Reed soaks up excess oil while adding volume. The travel-sized bottle won’t take up much space in your gym bag, either.
