Products For Freshening Up After a Workout

19 Post-Gym Products to Freshen Up With When You Just Don't Have Time to Shower

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Whether you ambitiously squeezed in a class before work or you're running late to dinner, we get that a shower isn't always in the cards. (Hey, no judgment!) Thankfully, you don't always need water to be able to freshen up before your next stop. Sweat-drenched hair? Sticky skin? BO? We've got you covered in those areas and then some. Check out 19 editor favourites ahead that you can easily fit into your gym bag.

This Bath & Body Works Fresh in a Flash Body Refresher & Yoga Mat Mist ($14) is a two-in-one gym-bag essential that keeps you and your mat clean. The lightly scented mist is alcohol-free, so it won't dry out your skin, either.
