The Gym Bag Essentials

Since re-joining the gym a few months ago, I've found myself showering there more often than I do at home - which is fine, but does mean that I need to have a reasonable selection of face & body products in my gym bag to keep myself soft, clean and fresh!
Gym Bag Beauty Essentials
Pre-Gym Cleanse
I usually go to the gym first thing in the morning and have plenty of time to come home before I have to go out to work, but occasionally I'll go in the evening if I've been working during the day, so on those days I like to remove my make-up before I start working up a sweat! At the moment this involves Merumaya's lovely Melting Cleansing Balm, followed by Botanics All Bright Cleansing Foam Wash.
Gym Shower Products
Once I'm done either swimming or in the gym (or both, on days when I'm feeling particularly energetic!), I tend to spend about fifteen minutes in the shower having a good ol' clean up - washing my hair and body, having a little scrub of any dry areas on my limbs, washing my face and using an exfoliator - the usual shower routine! Products shown include: Sweet Cecily's Citrus & Walnut Body Scrub, Clinique For Men Face Scrub, Naked Volume Shampoo, Kind Natured Nourishing Ylang Ylang & Sage Conditioner, Organic Surge Spiced Lily Body Wash.
Post Shower Gym Body Products
Afterwards I like to moisturise my face and my body (particularly if I've been swimming as the chlorine really dries my skin out - if I've just been in the gym I sometimes skip moisturising my face until I get home) and apply the standard deodorant/fragrance things. [Neal's Yard Remedies Bee Lovely Body Lotion, Malin & Goetz Vitamin E Face Moisturizer, Sure Maximum Protection Sport Strength Anti-Perspirant, FCUK Cool Down Body Spray]. I also have this Cuticura Talcum Powder* in there which I just dust on if I'm in a hurry, to absorb any leftover moisture. It's also really hot in the changing rooms so sometimes I need to use this if I want to actually put clothes on, or I just end up getting sweaty and sticky almost as soon as I'm out of the shower...

What products do you keep in your gym bag? Have you tried any of these?
