Working out = Breakouts?

I have the same problem. I feel your pain. If I had to guess I would say that we are producing more oil and sweat and our bodies are changing. I would say give a couple more weeks and see what happens. I use Joppa products all natural face wash on my face. That seems to help. You can google and purchase such products online. Good luck!

Your body is getting rid of toxins! I know its a weird thing your body does but there you have it! Your body is under some stress (good stress mind you) of changes that you are making by losing weight and changing your diet. It'll clear up soon. You can always try that acne-free stress control stuff they sell by neutrogena if you want. That should help.

Your face regimen probably isn't dealing with the sweat and germs sticking to your face. I've been using this toner spray: http://shop.thesourceskincare.com/product_p/tss-wtpepperminttoner.htm

"It provides analgesic, antiseptic, astringent, anti-pyretic (anti-itch) and anti-inflammatory benefits to skin. Suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin."

It does not dry out your skin like other toning sprays. I spray it on my face either during or after my workout and it seems to help neutralize the chemical imbalance on my skin. If I'm washing my face right away, I use it after washing but before moisturizer.

Another tip is to use an effective cleanser for acne, but not one that completely strips your skin. Use a moisturizer to replenish your skin. Products that overly dry out your skin leads to overall dry skin, which leads to more acne. Good luck!

it's normal and will soon go away.I have good skin and rarely had pimples.When I first started Insanity I broke out nothing crazy like 1 or 2 (but thats a lot for me as I never did before) after a lot of water and continuing my workouts it stopped. Its flushing all the cocka nasty stuff out.
Your skin will start to look better atleast mine did gave me a natural glow. Just wash your face good afterwards.

So glad I found this thread! I never break out, never really have. And now I also have gotten like one or two every week and I just don't get it. However, I don't wash my face regularly (never have). I did start to wash my face every night after my workout but then certain parts of my face started drying out. I guess I just need to take better care of my face, especially now that I'm getting older (eeek!). I drink tons of water, that's about all I drink every day. I'll try washing my face every day, and using moisturizer at night too, not just in the mornings. Hopefully that'll work because this is gross!!!!!
