HELP! Sweating is ruining my face :(

Thanks girls!! I do not work out in make up. But will prob end up doing it sometimes since I am joinging a gym. I am a stay at home mom so I really don't wear it unless it's an errand day or family day or date night. I wash my bedding once a week, I wash my face every night but not RIGHT after work outs, and I moisturize a lot. I do masks every now and then. I am really bad at washing my make up brushes and replacing sponges so I need to keep track of that. I will deff give cetaphil a try. I was really athletic my whole life and never had this issue... Its like rosacia looking on my cheeks now, and I am breaking out on my chin and between my eyes.

I usually have pretty clear glowing skin. I never drink soda or juice, I eat healthy THIS SHOULDNT BE HAPPENING AHHH

Could it be the dry weather and lack of sun too?

Love the headband idea good idea.
Love the face wipes idea too deff getting some.

Thanks so much

Sweating can actually be really good for your skin! What I do is rinse or wash my face BEFORE I work out. Even when I'm not wearing make up or anything. That way my pores are clear. Then when there aren't obstructions, the sweat can actually push subcutaneous dirt/bacteria out. You should, of course, clean your face after working out, too. But give cleansing beforehand a try. I find my skin is actually better when I'm working out and sweating frequently!

Do you exercise with makeup on? I found that increased breakouts for me.

Do you wash your face right after exercise? If I don't I get acne too. It's terrible.

What I found helped was to wear one of those cotton headbands while I exercised. I washed it after exercise when I wash my HRM chest strap. At that point I also wash my face.

Make sure you are properly washing your face. Also, make sure you regularly change your pillow case and regularly wash any makeup tools you use. I don't keep those applicators in my face powder compact. I wash my makeup brushes and sponges once a week and use a brush cleaner spray after each use ( you can make your own really easy with rubbing alcohol, a bit of shampoo ... I forget the other ingredients but the recipes are online). Never touch your foundation bottle top after you have touched your face as well. If I keep my makeup tools clean it helps. I also have to make sure I keep my hands off my face and make sure my phone is clean.

Do you wear a lot of hair products? I find if I do and my hair is touching my face I get breakouts because of all the products. I try not to use a lot.

The best cleanser I have found is a knock off of Proactiv. I believe it's called AcneFree... normally in the Pharmacy section. It's a three step kit and where I am in Ontario it usually costs about $25 and last a long time. Depending on where you are some stores sell other versions or the generics.

Personally I hate Garnier face washes. What about getting an acne face wash to use? If I wear makeup I wipe it off with a makeup wipe and than use an acne cleanser.

When I feel a pimple coming at night I will dampen a cotton swap and than put a drop of tea tree oil on it. I than dap that on the area where I can feel the pimple coming. Every now and again I do somewhat of the same thing but for my whole face. I dampen one of those cotton rounds (a cotton ball would work too) and than a drop or two of tea tree oil and than wipe that over my face. It sounds weird to put an oil on your face but it works well. Make sure it's watered down a bit and don't put it too close to your eyes or nose.
