I'm about to go to a heated yoga class with my friend after which I won't be able to shower before getting back to work. I already see it coming that I'm going to end up with a few pimples on my back. Any time I workout and can't shower immediately, they appear. Does anyone have any quick fixes to this? I've tried the Murad Clarifying Body Spray to no avail.

I also agree wipes will be a nice quick fix (sorry I don't ave any to reccomend ). But I find, since I am acne prone. That just making sure I exfoliate my back fairly regularly makes a world of difference. So even if I am sweating, things aren't getting trapped in my pores.

Any kind of cleansing wipes that are suitable for acne prone skin should work just fine. I've used Simple, Burt's Bees, and Sephora's Brand and found them all to be pretty equal in quality. Personally I would stay away from anything containing Triclosan but other than that those Dermalogica wipes sound fantastic. Triclosan - www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm205999.htm

Thanks ladies! Wipes would be so easy to keep in my gym bag and use quickly! I should do better about exfoliating my back too. It's just so darn difficult to reach certain spots!

Wipes are a great place to start to mirror what everyone's chimed in with so far, but I wanted to add about being diligent about changing out of sweaty work out clothes and gear ASAP after a work out and even wearing the right type of clothes during a work out. Since you're doing heated yoga, your body is going to be expelling sweat and oils at an accelerated rate compared to a more common approach to exercise and you want to be sure you're wearing fabrics that are breathable but also help to wick excess moisture away from the body as to not keep it compressed and against your skin. After exercise and wiping down, change into something that is loose-fitting and again, made of natural, breathable fibers.
You mentioned exfoliating, Peter Thomas Roth's Anti-Aging Buffing Beads are great! Gentle jojoba beads help to polish away at excess dead cells without being rough or irritating, and the formula has a blend of glycolic acids (AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA) which will also help combat those blemishes that pop up! You might want to consider a dry brush too, if you've never checked into it, dry brushing is an exfoliation process that utilizes a natural hair scrub brush (usually made of coconut fibers) buffed on skin to remove excess dead cells prior to showers or washings. This can be a pretty effective technique as rather than let your body get exposed to water/moisture which can cause those excess cells to stick back onto your body, you're able to remove cells in a dry environment, minimizing the chances for cells to cling on.
