Being beautiful and feeling good at all times is possible, even when playing a demanding sport. You must respect certain rules, inside and out, to maintain beauty and stay in shape. Follow our tips and don’t forget to wear your sunglasses, even during the winter!
1
Hydrate your skin
Our body needs water to prevent dehydration. Same goes for the skin. For your face, opt for a light, non-greasy product such as Caudalie’s Vinosource Moisturizing Matifying Fluid. Made from organic grape water and flax seed powder, it reduces excess sebum.
2
Show off a flawless complexion
For natural-looking skin, apply oil-free foundation. Chose a product with medium coverage that masks small blemishes and redness. Available in several shades, Covergirl’s Ready Set Gorgeous foundation leaves skin matte thanks to its integrated powder formula that doesn’t clog pores.
3
Enhance your gaze
It’s better not to wear makeup when playing sports, so say goodbye to blushes and pencils. However, if you can’t go without it, you should favour waterproof mascara like L’Oréal’s Waterproof Voluminous Mascara that doesn’t run and thickens lashes uniformly.
4
Protect your lips
Rain or shine, the weather damages our lips, often making them uncomfortable. You therefore need to protect them against the cold and UV rays to prevent chapping and drying. Clarins’s Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm with essential rose wax is a product to consider having on hand at all times.
5
Find the right deodorant
Using deodorant to fight sweat and odours is essential. Biotherm’s Deo Pure provides 24-hour protection, is invisible and soft on even the most sensitive skin. Since it doesn’t contain alcohol, this roll-on stick leaves behind a powdery film that doesn’t feel sticky on your skin.
6
Dry shampoo, what a great temporary fix!
But there’s just one problem, most of these products leave behind white residue on dark hair. The solution: Klorane’s Dry Shampoo with oat extract in natural hues that cleans light to dark brown hair without having to wet it. It gives your hair volume and doesn’t leave a trace!
7
Spray yourself with thermal water
When skin is itchy, thermal water is a wonderful balm for your face, as well as the rest of your body. It also helps diminish redness following physical exertion. To hydrate dry and sensitive skin, try Uriage Thermal Water Spray with calcium and magnesium salts.

Appease minor injuries
A balm for chapping, scrapes, etc. is indispensable to any sports bag. To remedy these discomforts, La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast Baume B5 contains antibacterial ingredients with incredible properties.
