i naturally have a very clear complexion, but ever since i started working out i have been getting break out's on my face. i always shower right when i'm done at the gym, but i was just wondering if anyone has found a face wash they love to help with the problem?

Have you tried washing your face before you work out also?0

I had the same problem with that when I started working out, and started using Proactiv. It helps a lot. I'm sure you can probably find another cheaper option though, but that's what I started using. I tried a couple drugstore face washes and they didn't help.0

I had the same problem, but over time it cleared up. I use a wipe (simple cleansing wipes) before I workout and wash my face after. I use Clinique (the basic face wash).. Hang in there, it will get better!0

I actually don't use any face washes. I wash my face in the shower only, sometimes only rinsing. Maybe you are reacting to the extra use of washes just as much as the exercise.0

BuMp, i literally said that to myself no longer than 5 mins ago! i thought it might have been just me! lol0

Two things that might help:
1. I wear an arm band to wipe off sweat so I am not rubbing more dirt and oil in my face
2. Murad's acne skin care line. You can try a month's supply for est $22 bucks and you can order it at Sephora.com
I feel you, I went through the same thing but those two small thing worked for me.0 -
I've been using a homemade goats milk soap with witch-hazel in it. My face has cleared up really well and stays sot & moisturized.0

Dr. Bronner's liquid peppermint soap. They sell it at GNC, Trader Joe's, and some Targets. You can also get it online.

i agree with washing your face beforehand. I used to use the olay cleansing cloths before a workout and then immediately shower afterwards. if you are traveling to a gym and not showering there you might want to use the cleansing cloths before you drive home.0

I got that when I first started out but your body gets used to it and it'll stop. Occasionally I'll break out around my sports bra area but not often

This--especially if you wear makeup or put other stuff on your face for the day. When you exercise, your pores open up and anything on your skin can slide right in and clog them up.0 -
great skin - Liz earle all the way0

Neutrogena grapefruit wash is really good (at least for my roommate, suitemates, and me), and it smells awesome, haha. I'd definitely recommend it0

absolute most effective option that is cheap cheap cheap is a cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide. pull back your hair and don't get it on your eyebrows. (unless you don't mind blonde eyebrows)0

Philosophy sells a great complexion kit. You can get the entire kit in travel size for about 35.00 and it will last you the entire month. It keeps my face clear. It is the only thing that works. I can't use proactiv because the ingredients in it makes my face red. So, if you have sensitive skin as well, the philosophy line is a great option. I know Sephora sells it.0

pHisoderm! It works like proactive, but SO much less harsh. And WAY cheaper. It's hard to find though, I think Wal-mart and Rexall are one of the only people to carry it0

If you wash your face more often than you used to, you could be causing some irritation as well as drying out your skin. My miracle cream that I swear by.... Nutrogena - Anti Wrinkle, Anti Blemish moisturiser - there is a cleanser as well. The ONLY product that worked for me and my adult acne. Best of luck!0

Just an idea here... but have you made any recent changes or bigger changes to your DIET? perhaps it's not the extra exercise alone that's causing breakouts. could be a food allergy or simply your body getting healthy and getting rid of bad substances through your skin... your skin is the largest organ in your body and filters a whole bunch of stuff. it could also be hormonal changes based on increasing your amount of general activity and the way you feed your body. Have you noticed anything else that is seemingly unrelated, but could be hormonally based?0
