A sweat-smart routine to go from workout to work in minutes—clear skin, calm scalp, zero funk.

More

Build your 5-item kit

1. Travel-size pH-balanced body wash

2. Quick-rinse shampoo/2-in-1 or scalp refresher

3. Fast-absorbing body lotion

4. Microfiber towel

5. Flip-top deodorant

The 3-zone cleanse

Zone A: scalp & hairline (sweat + salt)

Zone B: chest/back/underarms (breakout-prone)

Zone C: feet (fungus-prone)

Acne-aware tweaks

Use a 2% salicylic body wash on chest/back 2–3× weekly. Swap cotton tees quickly to avoid occlusion.

When there’s truly no time

Rinse key zones, towel off, apply leave-on body mist or wipe for salt removal, then moisturize exposed areas.
