BEAUTY TIPS: DANGER OF NOT CLEANING UP AFTER THE GYM

Don't let your skin take a hit just because you've discovered an amazing new workout. "A lot of women are switching from big gyms to studios that focus on Spinning, boot camps, yoga, or Pilates, and often they don't have showers," says Karyn Grossman, chief of dermatology at St. John's Medical Center in Santa Monica, California. As a result, she says, more patients aren't washing right away—and have the acne (and bacne) to show for it. She advises hard chargers to wear moisture-wicking clothes and to pack salicylic acid Stridex pads in their gym bag. Swipe the face, back, and chest after class, and change into a clean, dry T-shirt. Back home, hop into the shower as soon as possible.
