I have noticed that since I have started loosing weight, I have started breaking out where as before I hardly got a pimple. Anyone in the same boat ? I read about estrogen release and hgh releases as a possible cause. Any advice?

    This happened to me for the first 2 weeks? I'm usually 99% of the time acne free. Then I upgraded my skin care routine to clay masks, exfoliators, oil-free moisturizers, and oil-free night creams :)
    This is not scientifically backed up! I just honestly think that all of the toxins that you released through immense sweating caused inflammations in your pores but it's just a theory of mine. Just don't pop those spots and keep your face clean! I'm sure they will clear up soon <3
