"Skin Secrets for Warm-Weather Workouts\\nStay effortlessly gorgeous in the heat whether you hit the pavement or the court. &amp;#8212;Mariel Rittenhouse Goodson\\nA sweaty sports bra can be a germ magnet, trapping dirt, dead [skin](/beauty/2011/05/healthy-beauty-awards-body-slideshow) cells and bacteria. Strip off sticky [workout](http://workouts.self.com) clothes ASAP, particularly if you're prone to breakouts on your chest and back. Then hop in the shower, but eschew the loofah. Rough buffing can cause tiny tears to the skin, letting in acne-generating microbes. Instead, opt for a 2 percent salicylic acid face cleanser (we like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub, $8) to clean and exfoliate gently.\\nShow your beat-up feet a little love: A few times a week before bed, slough soles with Perfect Formula Crystal Pedi-Buff, $31. Its crystals sweep away surface cells without shredding your [skin](/beauty/2011/05/healthy-beauty-awards-body-slideshow) the way rougher files can, says Rebecca Giles, M.D., a dermatologist in Malibu, California. Use the bumpy side for rough patches, the flat side for more delicate smoothing. Don't rub away calluses on the sides of your feet, though; they help prevent toes and heels from bumping against your sneakers during a fast-paced set. Even if you're not a tennis buff, layer on a thick foot cream nightly, then wear cotton socks to lock in moisture.\\nHeads up: A grungy bike helmet can lead to a breakout, says Debra Jaliman, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. To ban pimples from your forehead, chin and scalp, swab helmet straps with alcohol wipes after each outing. Still breaking out? Keep Stridex Dual Solutions Intensive Acne Repair, $7, on hand to help keep sweat and oil at bay. The alcohol-free pads are soaked in zit-fighting salicylic acid, and the cap houses a supply of benzoyl peroxide gel for spot treatments.\\n\\n  \\n__[12 Summer Beauty Essentials](/beauty/2011/06/summer-beauty-essentials-slideshow)__"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
