An excerpt via Lace Up Style:
Caring for your Activewear is a lot like caring for your skin in regards to breathability, eliminating buildup and maintaining surface care. If you put the extra time and care in, you’ll realize the benefits in the long run and your workout clothes will work with you, not against you.
5 steps to washing and keeping your activewear in great shape:
- Always wash your Activewear in cold water
- Turn your clothes inside out to keep garments protected from zippers and other trims. This also keeps flatlock seams smooth after multiple washes, keeping your clothes looking like new
- Always hang dry promptly after each wash
- If you have bras with hooks, be sure to place these in a separate lingerie bag so your pieces with mesh or lighter fabrics don’t get caught and damaged
- Do not use any bleach or fabric softeners. This creates a coating on the surface of the fabric that weakens its breathability and wicking functions.

Want to achieve that luminous, healthy glow in under 10 minutes? REN's Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask can help you achieve just that. Paraben and sulfate free, this potent, bio-active peel mask helps to minimize fine lines while it improves tone and firmness. This product contains natural fruit acids from Passion Fruit, Lemon, Grape and Pineapple as well as papain from Papayas that exfoliate the skin's outer layer, encouraging cell turnover.
With an active lifestyle, breakouts are common for my skin and this mask is especially made to "combat congestion, blackheads and blemishes". I've used this several times and with its clean and pleasant fragrance with delicate texture, it feels like an at-home spa treatment. REN uses only 100% plant and mineral derived actives and is free from synthetic ingredients with a philosophy of clean skincare based on purity, performance and pleasure. This product also received rave reviews on Into The Gloss which speaks volumes. What are you waiting for? Go and get your glow on.

I normally go bare faced to workouts as I'm a morning workout person. But for those days when you go straight from work to workout and you still have makeup on you can at least prepare yourself by wearing waterproof mascara to escape the raccoon look so you can focus on your form and not your face.
Then there's the sting factor. Have you ever had that moment through mid sprint or mid tabata set where your sweat runs into your eyes and it stings so badly that you have to stop to wipe the sting out of your eyes just so you can see again?
Never again will you have to stop what you're doing. Especially if you're mid sprint at 10 MPH on a treadmill at Barry's Bootcamp. After testing some drugstore brands, we've found that the L'Oreal line of Waterproof formulas are sting free. For lush, bold lashes we suggest Voluminous Waterproof Mascara and for ultra long and full lashes a la "Doll Eye" look, Voluminous Miss Manga. The Voluminous mascara has a thicker, more plush brush that helps distribute product more quickly onto lashes in a clump free formula. Voluminous Miss Manga has a flexible wand to help define and fan out every lash, even the hard to reach ones. This formula allows you to build on layers for super long lashes but it can feel a little drier than other formulas so your lashes may not look as smooth. For this reason I prefer the Voluminous Waterproof Mascara.
Check back in with us as we'll be posting more reviews on workout friendly products! We're always on the search for new goodies to try out!
We can't attest to their "no ouch" factor but for more Waterproof Mascara reviews check out Allure's list for a variety of brands here.

This is the place where the concept of Strong Mind + Strong Body are truly tested and achieved. Owner Tracy Carlinksy's Brooklyn Bodyburn is a place where the mind and body are transformed through the most intense 50 minutes of insane muscle quivering and sweating that you've ever experienced. Referred to as "Pilates on crack", this Brooklyn based studio with locations in Williamsburg and Cobble Hill use the latest M3S MegaFormer machines and teach the Lagree Method for one of the most effective total body conditioning workouts out there.
This high intensity but low impact workout incorporates the key components of physical fitness - strength, endurance, cardio, balance, and flexibility training through every exercise with zero periods of rest. The result is a body shaking, cardio induced workout that blasts fat, promotes lean muscle growth and makes you crazy strong.
The burn is so addictive that we keep coming back for more. For newbies, don't be intimidated by the machines, the team at Bodyburn are super nice and are great at introducing you to the machine while helping you keep proper form through your first and every burn session.
