Golden Girl Jessica’s Beauty Bag Secrets

“Since becoming a mother, my training and beauty routine has had to evolve” reveals gold medal winning athlete and Thank You Mum ambassador Jessica Ennis-Hill. “I used to train twice a day, six times a week but now I train smart; less time but at greater intensity leaving more time to spend with Reggie. As every mother knows, you have a lot less time for yourself when you become a mother so my focus is on quality versus quantity when it comes to work and beauty routines.”

Skin care is so important when I’m training. I don’t have a huge amount of time for my beauty routine so having healthy looking skin is really important. Here’s what’s in my beauty bag:

Skin: “I use Olay Essentials Complete Care Day Cream SPF15 – it gives my skin everything it needs most to look beautiful, healthy and well-moisturised when I’m training, and it has broad-spectrum sun protection which is essential when I’m outside so much.”
Legs: “As I have bare legs so much for competing, I like to keep them smooth. I am packing my Venus Swirl razor – it’s brilliant as it uses a flexiball which glides over tricky areas like knees and ankles”
Make-Up: “I always wear make-up when I compete – waterproof eyeliner and mascara is a must! Right now I use Bobbi Brown black eyeliner and mascara and MAC foundation. I tend to apply my make-up in the morning before a competition and it usually lasts the day.”
Hair: “My hair is always tied back for competing – I straighten it then tie it back. I don’t tend to use lots of hair products – just a good conditioner. Right now I am using Joica shampoo and conditioner.
Relax: “I plan to pack Elemis Muscle Soak in my bag for Rio – really hoping there is a bath in the Olympic Village”
