Acne and Exercixe - The Problem of Moisture

When it comes to problems of acne outbreak in regards to physical exercising, we've been repeatedly talking about the problem of sweating and corresponding bacteria built-up on the skin if we cannot ensure a more or less sufficiant ventilation.

Especially sweat based moisture is an extremely good breeding ground for all kinds of harmful bacteria.

To make a long story short, moisture is one of the key factors of avoidance when it comes to exercise related acne prevention.

And know what? Your mom was right! You really should get out of those wet clothes!

No matter which way you are exercising, be it your bycicle, the tennis court, a treadmill, trail or running path, do not sit or walk around in your sweaty clothes or wet bathing suit after finishing with your exercise.

If possible at all, take a shower immediately after exercising and slip into dry clothes even before driving homewards. If this is not possible, do at least wipe down with a towel and change into a set of dry clothes as soon as you can.

It is also better to use a clean towel for wiping sweat away from your face and rather blot gently with it than performing a wiping movement. Extensive wiping can irritate your skin, and drive make-up and other particles deeply into your pores.
