It’s funny…now when I say I’m wearing lululemon from head to toe, it’s actually true! That’s because they just came out with a new skincare and beauty line including dry shampoo, facial moisturizer, lip balm, and spray deodorant. As a girl who loooves a good Barry’s workout, I was curious to test out these products after one of these boot camps. Here’s my personal review of these lululemon Selfcare products to learn more before adding these to your workout routine, too.
Prepping for Class
I booked my Barry’s Bootcamp class on the app this past Sunday to press the restart button after a weekend of Halloween celebrations 🎃 I grabbed my lululemon gym bag filled with my usual essentials — make-up remover wipes, a couple hair ties, and a water bottle — and threw in a few of the Selfcare line’s goodies:
No-Show Dry Shampoo — aluminum free and comes out clear, so easy to take your hair from sweaty to ready
Anti-Stink Deodorant — also aluminum free (!!) and cools off your underarms with its refreshing spray. Comes in two scents, Aloe Lotus and Black Pepper Sandalwood
Sweat Reset Facial Moisturizer — skincare after a workout is so important! This gel moisturizer hydrates and exfoliates, so that pesky sweat doesn’t dry out your skin
Lip Balm — Non-sticky formula, so your ponytail doesn’t get stuck on your lips while you’re doing burpees or trying to nail that headstand in yoga

The Subway Ride There
I hate working out with chapped lips and being distracted by them all class. So, on my way to Barry’s, I applied the Selfcare Lip Balm liberally as I watched the New Yorkers run to catch the train before it took off from the station. My workout buddy, Nick, likes to copy everything I do and tested out the new balm as well, rubbing his lips together and flashing me a smile. Nick tested, Nick approved!
Arriving at the Gym
Admittedly, I cut it kind of close to the class start time when I arrived at the building. I quickly grabbed a make-up remover wipe and did a quick cleanse of the face.
*Skincare Pro Tip: Always do this to get rid of any residue before breaking a sweat. I have super sensitive skin, and adding this to my pre-workout routine has helped my skin a ton. Even if you’re not wearing any make up, a quick clean will prevent a buildup of dirt and sweat from clogging anything. Your pores will thank you later.
After I slammed the locker door shut, I ran upstairs just in time to hear the instructor greeting the class in the glow of the red lights.
The Workout
You guys…if you haven’t tried Barry’s Bootcamp yet, I CANNOT recommend enough. It is the best way to combine cardio with strength training. Without, I would only run and never work out the other parts of my body.
I love wearing high-waisted lululemon yoga paints for the boot camps so that when I do crunches, I don’t feel self-conscious about anything spilling out! You probably already have a pair in your closet, but nothing makes me feel better than sweating it up in lululemon.
A Sweaty Send-Off
I always walk out of those doors knowing that no matter what else happens that day, it was already productive. After the workout, I took my sweaty and stinky self to the women’s locker room and did a quick body shower. Then, I sprayed on the Anti Stink Deodorant in Aloe Lotus. I loved the cooling effect, which made me feel even more refreshed as I put myself back together with my post-workout high. Plus, it’s aluminum free!
Next I applied the Sweat Reset Face Moisturizer to get my flushed cheeks back to normal again. My skin felt so calm and hydrated after all that salty sweat.
The No-Show Dry Shampoo came next, since I only washed my body in the shower. I love how it comes out clear, so I don’t have to worry about white streaks in my hair. Plus, it smelled great and made my hair look amazing after being in a sweaty ponytail for the last hour. Highly highly recommend throwing this in your gym bag!
Post-Workout Plans
Nick and I love to celebrate our weekend workouts by going to brunch after — have to reward yourself with some eggs and maybe a bloody mary after working off those calories, right?! It was so convenient having the lululemon Selfcare products to use after my workout so I didn’t have to waste time going home to shower and get dressed. instead, I used that little bit of extra time enjoying the rest of my Sunday with my man 💕
