Exercise = Acne Clearer?

CSix Posts: 18 Joined: 2007/02/14	2007/03/07, 02:50 PM Hi, I was wondering if exercising helped clear acne, due to the fact that you sweat during your workouts. I also remembered that when your body sweats, it sweats out toxins. Does anyone know if its true that dairy products like cottage cheese cause acne? Thanks, Csix.

Maybe that's why it induces pimples? Also, does anyone know any good topical medications for EXTREMELY sensitive skin? I was prescribed a low percentage benzoyl peroxide (forgot percent), and it dried my whole face up in one day, to the point that the skin around my eyes was so dried and cracked that I had a hard time with my vision. Thanks, Csix.

Moisturizers do not give you more pimples....if your skin is really that dry then it will do the exact opposite. Your skin needs to be hydrated. Also drink tons of water.

If Milk is a necessity with your shake try low fat milk. Normal milk is very fatty and after consulting many dermatoligists and naturopaths they have all said the same thing. Water with the protein shake and a shower asap after workout

I have been working out for roughly 6 week, I can not stress enough how with the change in my diet, and my water consumption, I have experienced clear skin. Its sorta like a miracle. All throughout high school I had moderately bad acne. When I started to take out fried food, sweets, and fast foods, and replace them with veggies, fruits, and oatmeal (lol), my skin has looked so clear and nice. I wish I would have known this h.s., then I wouldn't get called acne face.
