Even when you're a world-class athlete, like Lolo Jones, American track and field and bobsled athlete, and Alex Morgan, American soccer player and Olympic Gold medalist, beauty plays a huge role in your everyday life.
When it comes to Lolo's beauty must-haves, her most important one is moisturizer. Burt's Bees Hand Salve, $9, burtsbees.com, and Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream, $55, bobbibrown.com, to be exact. "I went from training in the warmth when I ran track to now training in the cold, and [the harsh temperatures] take a toll on my skin," she says.
When we asked her if she wore makeup while bobsledding, she gave us a super surprising answer: "Even though everyone knows I'm a woman, when I'm racing I wear dramatic eyeshadow, mascara, and liner to make my eyes standout. Especially since it's the only part of my face that you can see with my helmet on!"
The bobsledding babe also told us that she is big on getting gel manicures. "You have to keep your nails painted at all times because it protects them from getting beat up against the ice. But I like getting Shellac [by CND] the best, because we work with acetone so much to clean the runners (aka blades) that it takes my nail polish right off—with a gel mani it stays on forever."
Alex Morgan, on the other hand, turns to natural sunscreen (Coola Face SPF 30 Unscented Moisturizer, $32, coolasuncare.com, is her favorite) as her go-to beauty product. "I'm outside practicing and playing so much that I need to protect my skin at all times," she says.
Curious as to whether or not she wears makeup during games? The answer is yes. "I wear waterproof mascara during training or games, and depending on whether or not a game is televised, I'll wear Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, $43, sephora.com, because it's light and easy to apply, and Too Faced Bronzer, $29, lovelyskin.com," says Morgan. "On my lips I usually just wear balm and that's it."
Because this pro player is outside so much, sans a helmet unlike Lolo, we were dying to know how she keeps her hair looking so freaking healthy and amazing-looking. So, we asked. Here are her mane secrets:
"I really try to take care of my hair. I use Pureology Color-Treated Shampoo, $27, and Conditioner, $28; ulta.com, and the Moroccan Oil Weightless Hydrating Mask, $67, moroccanoil.com, once a week. I also use It's a 10 Miracle Spray, $34, drugstore.com, on my ends and apply argan oil to them twice a day. When we're traveling, I'm the teammate who takes up the entire bathroom counter with my beauty products."
But while these two gorgeous US athletes have very different beauty regimens, they do have a common denominator: Degree Motion Sense deodorant, $8, walmart.com. Why? It doesn't wear off easily and it reactivates when your body heats up. Translation: It's perfect for Lolo and Alex—and any other woman who likes to get sweaty.
