Exercise Skin - Tips and Tricks

half_moon

Now that I've started working out again, my skin is breaking out. I wash my face every night and apply moisturizer, but I see that now I will need a new regime. I always break out when I start working out again.

What do you guys do to fix the acne that comes from exercise?

It's probably not exercise itself, it may be you're sweating more and that's clogging pores. If that's the case, are you washing with cleanser right after your exercise? That might help.

No, I usually wait until right before I go to bed. I'll try that! Perhaps I should cleanse my face when I hop in the shower after a workout.

Thanks

Yeah, I'd try that for a few weeks and see if it helps. I've honestly never heard of exercise actually causing acne, I'm not sure how that would work. Extra sweat is the only connection I can make!

I've heard of it! But other than washing and going to a dermatologist, I have no idea how to fix it.
