Unfortunately, sweating can also have a negative result: acne. Popping up on faces and backs everywhere, acne is no fun. The misconception is that exercise actually causes acne. This isn&#8217;t the case; moreover, it actually charges your body in a positive way so your body can fight acne with even greater power.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about ways to fight acne, so we can exercise as much as we want without having to worry about such a pestering problem.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use salicylic acid based facial wash which will remove the upper layer of your skin freeing pores clogged with dead cells.<\/li>\n<li>Shower immediately after doing any type of exercise. The longer you let the sweat and clogged pores stand on your skin, the bigger fight you&#8217;ll have. Also, shower when you wake up as oils have accumulated from a long night of sleep.<\/li>\n<li>Use a medicated acne shampoo, but don&#8217;t scrub too hard. Scrubbing your face or back in the shower too hard can worsen acne.<\/li>\n<li>Benzyl peroxide is one of the most popular treatments for acne. It comes in washes, pads, and creams. You can use it in the morning, after a workout, and before bed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If over the counter options don&#8217;t work, visit a dermatologist. They can prescribe topical creams that include: Tazorac, Retin A, Duac, etc. or they may prescribe an oral antibiotic to help you fight the acne from the inside out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Fitzness\/218599521492381?ref=ts\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12647\" title=\"facebookButton4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/facebookButton48.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o8ztnlRQtlQ?feature=player_embedded\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reaching fitness goals requires hard work and that means regularly breaking a sweat.
