There’s no reason you can’t combine exercise and makeup… especially with the launch of Gymnos. This Sydney-born brand is combining high-performance skincare with beauty innovations.

Whether you’re heading to the gym, running errands, heading on vacation or juggling work, Gymnos helps you look and feel your best. Even elite athletes like national women’s football players Desiree Miller, Ellie Johnson, and Isabelle Kelly have given it the thumbs up. So, what’s the fuss and can we really combine exercise and makeup?

Exercise and makeup can be done…

Created by fitness enthusiast Jen Aphay, Gymnos is for women who want to feel beautiful while staying active. Jen saw a noticeable void in the market for beauty that fits seamlessly into a busy, active lifestyle. She decided to fill it.

“I believe women should look and feel beautiful, even while sweating it out,” says Jen. “That’s why we’ve created day-proof skincare that saves time and makes beauty effortless.”
