Let's say you train your glutes, abs and thighs. You're up on your BMR, MHR, LDL and HDL. You work out on benches, bikes and blades. You're in great shape, but chances are you've neglected the largest organ in your body.

How's your epidermal IQ.?

Do you know as much as you should about skin survival and safety?

We went to two experts and asked them what women who train need to do to keep their skin in fine form.

1. Take care of your skin! Avoid smoking, unnecessary sun exposure, wind and cool weather.

2. Avoid poor nutrition, but do not exaggerate. Follow a balanced diet of healthy foods, including plenty of vegetables and fruits, and clean your body drinking plenty of water daily.

3. Take vitamin supplements that are rich in Vitamins A, C, D, and E. Very important is to take anti­oxidants that help to break down free radicals. Beta­carotene is also a good alternative vitamin source.

4. Use a sunscreen that contains zinc oxides and titanium oxide, which don't irritate the skin and cause breakouts. Remember to use SPF 15 (or higher), especially if you are exposed to the sun in excess. For those who work indoors and don't get much sun exposure, use a foundation that contains titanium oxide. This can protect you enough and almost as much as if you were to wear and SPF 15 cream. Other options include wearing a hat and large sunglasses. Many doctors strongly recommend SPF 15 for lips, because of the risks of sunburn and peeling.

5. Eliminate skin problems before they start. Look for the precancerous signs. Be aware of any unusual blotches or spots on the skin and check for spider veins.

6. Use all­natural skin care products and not chemical based products. Chemical skin products (i.e. ones containing high concentrates of alcohol) can actually be destructive to the skin, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. If you are allergic to natural products, be sure to use products that are alcohol free and fragrance free.
