As a matter of fact, reasonable exercising is good for your skin. In addition to this, it also helps keep your body healthy and it is good for controlling your stress level. However, if your regular exercising routine worsens your acne, then you should ask yourself a few questions: What do I wear when exercising? Where do I exercise? How hard do I exercise?
Below are a few hints that will help you keep acne at bay when exercising:
Make-up - It is important that you reduce the amount of make-up to minimum. Actually, the best option is mnot to wear make-up at all while you are working out. Even oil-free cosmetics can block pores during exercise. Therefore, it is highly recommended that during workout you have no make-up whatsoever. If you wear make –up during workout (remember, it should be as little as possible) make sure that you wash your face immediately after exercising.
Sunscreen - If you exercise outdoors, you must never forget to put some sunscreen. Yes, acne can improve a bit when exposed to sunshine however the studies showed that too much exposure worsen acne. Also, prolonged exposure to the sun might damage your skin. Make sure that your sunscreen is oil-free and its protection factor is not less than SPF 15 for UVA and UVB. Again, wash your face immediately after exercising as sunscreen, if left on your skin for too long, might block the pores.
Clothing - If you have problems with body acne, make sure your exercise gear is not made only from lycra or nylon. Those materials will trap the heat and moisture on your skin, which is a great breeding ground for bacteria that cause acne. If your exercising routine is moderate try some loose-fitting cotton, or lycracotton garments. Cotton will allow your skin to breath, and clothes that are loose are less likely to cause friction. For heavy exercising, try some new fabrics that are especially designed to remove moisture from your skin. Just remember, make sure your skin can breathe through the fabric and your clothes are not too tight.
