Running and acne
Anyone suffer from this? It may just be adult acne but I think the sweating is having an effect on my skin. For the past year I havent been able to get a hold of it. Its not that terrible, but not great either! Been to the dr. and prescriptions arent working so I am trying some natural soaps instead. Any recommendations?

Re: Running and acne
Do you wear make up?
Is there a way to wash your face before working out so when you sweat.....all the "dirt" won't clog your pores??

Re: Running and acne
this will definetly effect ur skin..especially if u're heavy w/hair product too..because then u not only have sweat from ur scalp dripping down ur face, but sweat gunked w/product as well..add makeup to the mix & there u go. When i was doing a lot of theatre I always had to be super careful about this..
DEFINTELY wash ur face as soon as u get home from a work out if u're not doing so already! Use a deep cleanser..i'm a big fan of neutrogena..the "deep clean cream cleanser" and "Stress Control Acne Scrub"(that ones my fave because it has little microbeads to exfoliate)..i like neut. 'cause it doesn't break the bank but it does a good job. and no matter what u use, let it sit on the face for a few minutes before rinsing..
anyway - hth

Re: Running and acne
I dont wear face makeup - maybe alittle powder sometimes but I always wash it off. Also I dont sweat, like drip sweat. I am a salty sweater though...like I end up with a ton of salt on my face after a long run when its hot, but I never drip. Never ever drip, not even in spin class. Its weird but I think the the weird skin problem started when I started running alot or it could be with age. It has gotten better but still not 100%. I always shower right after workouts. I did use Neotrogena Acne wash for awhile, the orange one, but it didnt did anthing. I also have random irritations on my chest and a few spots on back but they are random.
Ok anyone else experience this?

Re: Running and acne
interesting...I've never had truly clear skin and I've been running since 12
I never thought about a correlation

Re: Running and acne
What are you taking? Are you taking any fat burning or energy booster supplement?

Re: Running and acne
I am having a similar problem. I never had bad acne before and now that I have been running alot I have been breaking out. Nothing I tried has worked and I do not wear any makeup.
With the summer coming I am worried that it will get worst.

Re: Running and acne
I have this problem, its mostly on my body but I get bad acne if I don't shower as soon as I get home from the gym. I find keeping cleansing cloths in my gym bag help too!
Just wash your face as soon as your done with your workout and I SWEAR by proactiv cleaners and toners for maintenance.
