So you never have to live through another emergency trip to Sephora, we're showing you a few products you should keep stocked in your gym bag.

Schmidt's Deodorant 5-Pc. Travel Size Set

There is no product more necessary post-workout than deodorant. Instead of forgetting your go-to tube and cursing yourself for the rest of the day, have one of the scents in this Schmidt's Deodorant 5-Pc. Travel Size Set ($20) in your bag at all times; this is a natural option that actually works.

Applying foundation immediately after a workout is never fun — or functional — seeing as you're probably still too sweaty for it to stick (or worse, you put too much on to cover up the redness and look cake-y). Instead, stick to concealer. So many POPSUGAR editors swear by the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer ($30); it covers both darkness and acne and comes in 25 shades.

Stick with creamier products post-workout because they blend into skin more naturally and are also easier to touch up if you skipped the cooldown. The gorgeous Rms Beauty Lip2Cheek ($36) does double duty as a blush and lip color, and it comes in nine shades.
