You pound out mile after mile on the treadmill, and grunt your way through a series of weightlifting exercises. Nothing to do now but hit the shower. But wait! You don't have time. If you're on the go with little or no time to shower and re-do hair and make-up, you need ways to freshen up fast. Before you workout, remove all makeup. Allowing makeup to sit on your skin while you sweat is an invitation for pimples. Moist facial cleansing towelettes let you do this job quickly and without mess. You should also avoid pulling your hair into a tight ponytail, since doing so can leave a telltale ponytail bump on the surface of your hair later. Instead, use a looser method. During your workout, pull your hair back again. Taking down your workout 'do and pulling hair back a second time helps keep hair from getting matted. After your workout, use another moistened towelette to remove all traces of sweat from your face. Like exercising with makeup, letting sweat sit on your skin can cause unnecessary breakouts. Finally, body powders can be helpful in keeping you comfortable and dry.  And when you're on the go, time-saving techniques to keep you fresh are exactly what you need. By the way, good for guys too. Of course they should choose a more manly scent. Looking fresh and fit after a workout is easier than you think.
