"On TikTok, creators are looksmaxxing during their workouts. Enter: “beauty stacking,” aka using your fitness session as an opportunity to whiten your teeth, marinate in a rosemary hair oil, or use a sheet mask while you’re already trapped on the elliptical."
"In a viral clip, @ally.renee1 walked on a stair stepper while applying teeth whitening strips, a peel-off lip stain, and cuticle oil. By the end of her session, her cardio was done, her cuticles were moisturized, and her lip combo was fully set."
"If you’re already spending 45 minutes aggressively incline-walking, you might as well do a beauty treatment that takes an extended period of time to work. The logic is hard to argue with."
"When beauty stacking, it’s perfectly acceptable to slip on your grippy socks, slide onto the Reformer, and allow your under-eye masks to marinate as you do plank marches. Suddenly, whitening strips are replacing matching sets as the gym accessory of choice."
Gym workouts are being used as opportunities for beauty routines through “beauty stacking.” Creators apply treatments during cardio or strength training, including teeth whitening strips, peel-off lip stain, cuticle oil, under-eye masks, and hair oil treatments. The approach treats beauty steps that require time to work as compatible with workouts that already take extended periods, such as incline walking, stair stepping, planks, and Pilates. The routine is framed as arriving at classes already in progress, with grippy socks and gym gear replacing traditional beauty accessories. The trend also normalizes visible beauty products during workouts, positioning gym shame as no longer relevant.
