Another great Home Acne Treatment is exercise. It may sound simple, and it may sound too good to be true, but exercise can actually help you clear your acne.
Although it's not proven, diet (including drinking water) and exercise do play major roles in whether or not you will have acne. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I come to realize that the better and the healthier we are as a whole, the more our acne will actually improve on its own.
Acne Companies Hide the Truth
Yes. I know what the acne companies say. They tell you that acne has nothing to do with your diet. Of course they're saying that it has nothing to do with your diet.
If they told you that it did, would you still buy their products? If they told you how to clear your acne by simply being and eating healthier would you buy their products? Side effects, monthly expenses, spending time washing your face morning and night... I'm pretty sure you'd opt out to proper diet and exercise.
Although we'd all like to go the proper diet and exercise route, it can be a challenge. Foods these days are filled with refined sugars, hydrogenated oils, saturated fats, and many other horrible things which I will talk about in later posts.

Why is exercising good for acne?
I kind of went off on a tangent, but the point is this: Exercise flushes toxins out of your body, relieves stress, and increases blood circulation. Not only is this great for your general health, but it's also great for your skin. Honestly, take a jog 20 minutes a day, every single day for a month. Continue to use your topical acne treatment with proper diet and exercise. If your acne doesn't improve, I'd be shocked.

From years of personal experience, I promise you that some people develop acne BECAUSE of exercise.
Myself, I really dislike working out, but do it to stay healthy and fit. Because I don't really "love" it, I admit I go through periods where I don't exercise at all, and then ramp it up at other times...say for a few months of daily exercise.
When I'm not exercising, I have beautifully-clear skin that people often compliment. Within a day or so of beginning an exercise regime, I start to break out. The acne lasts as long as I'm exercising regularly. The acne clears within the first week of no exercise. I can practically set my calendar by it.
And, just for the record, I have a home gym so I shower immediately following my workout.
I always make sure I have clean skin before each workout, and I wear loose fitting clothes, etc., etc. I have an extremely healthy diet (vegan), which is probably why my skin looks so glowing when I'm not exercising.
When I went online to find a solution for the exercise-caused acne, I was astounded to find so much silly nonsense claiming exercise cures/improves acne. Since I know several elite athletes, just about all of whom are the healthiest human specimens imaginable, and have the healthiest diets possible, and who still have acne (terrible acne in some cases), I'm pretty sure these claims are purely theoretical, and not the result of true scientific study. (God, I hate that about people. ...That they just keep repeating things they've heard, or read, or just believe, as though it is fact.)
I'm happy for anyone whose acne is improved via exercise. That's terrific. I just know that acne does cause or worsen acne in some people (including many elite athletes), myself included.
Thankfully, I did find a doctor-authored article about how increased blood flow and sweating causes the release of toxins deeper within the skin, rather than at the pore/hair follicle level (so not so much of this "flushing" that non-MD's claim), and how the salts in sweat can irritate existing acne, or acne-prone skin. I'd have to say, the latter sounds far more plausible to me, given my personal experience with exercise-related acne.
If nothing else, I would want readers to know that, at least in some people, the exercise is causing or exacerbating their acne, and they're not abnormal or doing something wrong. The exercise and sweating really is the cause and the only solution is to either cut back on the frequency or intensity of the exercise and/or focus more on diet, if staying slim is the goal.
Thank you for adding to the post. It's always nice to see people with a great opinion.
From personal experience, my skin has always improved from exercising. This is likely due to the fact that exercising releases harmful toxins as the body sweats.
Many people commonly have the false assumption that sweat causes acne. Thus, they wash their face more than they should after working out. It's because they over-wash their face that they get acne, not because of the exercising itself.
Again, I am no scientist. I'm just saying what I know from personal experience.
well they say that sweat causes acne so how do you asure but thankx x]
In my experience, sweating has actually improved my acne, as long as I was my face sometime after working out. I think exercise clears up acne.
i totally agree with you!!!!
