If you've ever been embarrassed by your beet-red face after exercising [3], don't be. You're not alone. In fact, superstar Carrie Underwood deals with the same post-workout flush and she proudly documented it in a makeup-free selfie on Instagram.
"I'm a sweaty mess," she admitted, "but I'm a sweaty mess in an adorable tank!" She then tagged her activewear line, Calia by Carrie Underwood [4], the brand behind that cute top.
Many of her fans commented on not just how beautiful she looked without a drop of foundation, but how she's inspiring them to stick to their fitness goals. "You're such a great influence Carrie! Thanks for being my personal and fitness inspiration for so many years!" added Instagram user @countryconfessions.
