How to do the best of your workout?

How do you prevent body acne when you workout (10pts best answer)?

• I hate not being able to go to the gym because of my acne. I understand that you need to shower right after working out BUT, let me give you an example of how I think it won't work. I jog on the treadmil for 30 minutues, then rest 5 minutes and stretch (The sweat WILL dry on the skin in 5 minutes). Then I do the stair climber for 10 minutes and sweat AGAIN. Then I rest again (the sweat dries on my skin again) I procede to do another 30 minutes of whatever cardio machine I choose and sweat some more. Will a shower afterwards do anything? Will it prevent my pores from being clogged by sweat even though the sweat has already dried on my skin multiple times? It's okay to just give me an educated guess or opinion.

• Answer:

  I suggest changing your workout. Maybe jog for 10 mins, then stretch, then jog for 20 mins more, then the stair climber, then whatever cardio machine for 30mins more. When you're finishing on one machine, don't suddenly go from sprinting to just getting off, cool down for a few minutes by just walking. Also, after your workout, go in the shower, and make sure that you use soap/shower gel everywhere, especially your back and face, as you sweat heavily there, and if you don't wipe off all the sweat, it will clog your pores and create spots. I suggest taking a towel into the gym, so that you can wipe the sweat off your face if you need a break. Just remember to shower THOROUGHLY, and that should prevent the acne from building up. If it's really bad, go to a dermatologist/doctor.
