I've been working out since late Jan & a week ago I started on P90X. Great results, but now I have a bigger problem. I noticed today that my face is breaking out =[. Up until I started doing P90X, my skin was pretty much flawless. Any recommendations for this (besides washing my face before working out)?

    My back breaks out like crazy when I start working out regularly. I try and jump in the shower right after working out but it doesn't always completely clear up!

    My face is always super clear, I use:

    Try it! I love it and it works great!

    I meant anything besides before/after face wash :-) I shower straight when I get finished working out.

    I have to use a facial scrub followed by moisturiser morning and night to avoid it...and I'm a guy :P

    I usually work out at the gym and then go straight home to shower.... It wasn't soon enough and I started to have issues with breakouts.

    So now, I work out then go straight to the locker room and wash my face and then use a cleanser when I get home. It has taken care of the problem.

    You need to remove the sweat and oils and avoid touching your face. find a face cleanser that works for you....the scrub above is good and reasonably priced. Key is to be consistent!

    Thanks. I shower directly after working out & use a shower face cleanser, but I workout much longer & apparently the cleanser I was using isn't working. Thanks for the input & tips :-)
