Body breakouts are annoying but you can prevent them. Extra sweat and oil clog your pores, so shower immediately after you exercise (cleansing towelettes also work in a pinch), says New York City dermatologist Sapna Westley, MD. Use a zit cream containing salicylic acid on pimple-prone areas.
Be a Smarter Shaver
Replace your razor regularly and stop using soap to shave. "Your legs, underams, and bikini line are very sensitive," warns Dr. Jaliman. Wait until the end of your shower (when hair is softer) to defuzz and always prep with a rich shaving cream to avoid nicks and angry red bumps.
