Beauty Mark It Results: Beauty of Olympic Proportions

BellaSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 13:00:54 -0700

Have you been watching the Olympics? After all, one billion people did tune in to the opening ceremony - and what a dazzling spectacle it was.

So, after thinking about all of the flipping, gliding, jumping, and kicking that goes down at such a monumental event, I asked you for some beauty product suggestions appropriate for an athlete. Since one beauty fan in particular went all out on this Beauty Mark It challenge, I have to give the gold medal to ohbaby for her contributions.

Ohbaby recommended Ted Gibson's Hair Sheets ($25), and I can see why. These handy styling cloths are perfect for an on-the-go Olympian; and they freshen your hair after a long workout when there's no time to shampoo. Best of all, they smooth frizz, condition, protect from sun damage, and help to minimize sweaty odors. Whew! For a complete glance at all of the sporty beauty items, check out my widget below:

Woohoo, the Olympics start in only two days, and I can't wait to tune in. This got me to thinking about what products might be most appropriate for Olympic athletes to keep their focus on the competition.

With all of the twirling, jumping, floating, and running that will be going down in Beijing, I can only imagine the toll it will take on each athlete's body - not to mention his or her hair. I'll get you started with a Jonathan's Detox Dirt Clarifying Shampoo ($22). It's perfect for a swimmer since it's a gentle clarifying shampoo, which helps get rid of chlorine, heavy metal, environmental pollutants, and sweaty buildup.

What products do you think will be appropriate for these Olympic competitors, whether it be your favorite sunscreen protection or no-fuss, all-in-one product that leaves them more time to practice? Share your choices by bookmarking items from around the web and tagging them with the phrase sporty beauty. I'll feature your favorites here next Tuesday.
