Locker room reality: why sweat changes the plan
Sweat, heat, and towels raise friction and shift pH. If you leave sweat + SPF + makeup on, you risk clogged-feel and irritation. The fix is a quick reset: cleanse, light comfort, and makeup-safe SPF—without starting from zero.
What you'll need in the pouch
- RiceWhip Milk Cleanser (travel mini or decant)
- Glow Veil SPF 50+
- Compact towel or soft tissues; optional oil-blot papers
6-minute gym-to-desk flow
- Hands first (15 sec): Wash or sanitize to keep the routine hygienic.
- Cleanse (2 min): On damp skin, massage a pea of RiceWhip for 20–30 seconds. Rinse lukewarm and pat—don’t rub—dry.
- Optional comfort (30 sec): If you feel tight, press a thin pass of a light moisturizer on cheeks only. Keep T-zone bare for now.
- Fast SPF (1–2 min): Apply Glow Veil SPF 50+ in thin passes. Wait ~60 seconds to set.
- Makeup refresh (1–2 min): Blot any oil first. Press base with a puff instead of rubbing; add concealer only where needed.
Cleanse choices (how “deep” to go)
- Light workout / little makeup: RiceWhip alone is enough.
- Heavy base + sweat: If you wore long-wear makeup, use a micellar pad first, then RiceWhip. Keep it gentle—your skin’s already warm.
SPF reapplication without chaos
- Office daylight: Reapply every 2–3 hours if you sit near windows; at lunch otherwise.
- Method: Puff press small amounts of Glow Veil over high points first, then the rest. Avoid swiping.
What to skip post-workout
- Strong acids/retinoids immediately after sweat—tolerance is lower.
- Heavy occlusives under makeup in heat; go thin and breathable.
Time-savers that matter
- Keep the pouch on top of your gym bag so you actually use it.
- Use a small towel to pat dry—paper towels can scratch and trigger flakes.
- If you shower, do the face routine after hair to avoid residue on skin.
