chemical skin peel

If the smell doesn't get to you then when the skin at the top of your forehead gets a chemical burn from contact with the caustic sweat residue of your helmet pads, that's a sign that your helmet needs cleaning, right? How else do you know?

I know it's time when my helmet straps start turning white (salt from the sweat) around the temple and ear area.
