Exercising Tips for Acne Sufferers

Acne sufferers are suggested to exercise regularly as this eliminates
the symptoms that contribute towards acne. Moderate exercise is very
useful for maintaining an active body and reducing the emotional
stress. Here are some useful tips you should know.

# 1: People who have an acne problem should avoid exercising in wet
attire whether it's due to sweat or anything else for that matter.
Exercise should be performed in dry clothes.

# 2: Take bath or shower immediately after exercise with the help of a
medicated cleanser, soap or pad in order to avoid acne. Use clean
water for showering and do no apply soap or cleanser with rough hands
as it can further worsen the acne condition. If you can't shower right
away, you can still control breakouts with the help of medicated
pads.

# 3: People suffering through acne should avoid clothes made up of
lycra and nylon as these fabrics increases the production of bacteria.
They should also wear baggy and light clothes through which air can
easily pass and which causes less friction especially during exercise.
Wear clothes made up of natural fabrics as this introduces lesser
bacteria.

# 4: Wear little make-up while exercising and avoid oil-free and
"noncomedogenic" cosmetics because they may clog the pores of the
skin.

# 5: Wear sunscreen whenever you go out during the day in order to
protect your skin from ultraviolet rays. Sunscreens are only useful
for short periods of time because if left for a prolonged period they
will start clogging the pores and damage the skin.

# 6: Follow a well balanced diet along with a healthy exercise program
to remove acne from the surface of the skin. Healthy food is a key to
healthy skin which remains fresh and rejuvenated if properly taken
care of.

# 7: If you wear a helmet that keeps on sliding against your face or
you have a track suit that is tight from various places on your body
then there are high chances that you will experience acne break outs.
This can be prevented by Lining your helmet with a layer of soft
natural fabric. Also make sure your exercise equipments are clean and
dry before using them.

#8: After performing the exercise, you should wash off the face as
soon as possible especially if you have a habit of taking steam or
going to sauna at the end of your exercise because at these places
your pores will open up and get clogged with different lotions and
cosmetics giving rise to blemishes.
