Hello, i'm new to this forum, and hopefully i'll be able to get some good answers from you. Currently I'm 20, and i'll be 21 at the end of the year. I used to have acne in my face and also chest and back, and I took the accutane treatment for almost 10 months, finally erasing it all from my body. Then, after 6 months, I started taking workout supplements like animal pak (Multivitamins) and also whey protein. After almost one or two months using that supplements, I had another acne breakout.
The BP is drying out my back SO much. I have to use a little lotion on my neck and shoulders so it won't be so terrible red all the time. I have a few (3) zits on my neck that didn't make it in the picture. (its hard to take pictures of your own back!). I have been washing my back after working out now, usually within 30 minutes. I have several scars (hyperpigmentation) right now and only a few zits left. So, I hope to be completely clear in the next month!
Pre-workout That Isn't Acne Causing?
Hi guys, I want to start taking some supplements/pre-workout for the gym… but I have heard that it can cause acne, even in people who aren't prone (I am!). If if anybody knows any solutions, let me know :).
Regimen For People That Workout?
Hey all. I'm just wondering what your regimen's are if you are someone who works out like myself? Also wondering if this is too much cleansing for combination, cystic-prone & acne-prone skin? 8:30 AM - Wash my face before work (Spectro Gel Wash, Moisturizer) 7:00 PM - Shower and wash my face again post workout (Spectro Gel Wash, Moisturizer) Midnight - Wash my face before bed (Spectro Gel Wash, Prescription Acne Stuff which is quite drying) ???? .
I know you are supposed to wash, treat and moisturize twice a day. What if you go swimming during the day or get extremely sweaty and wash up? Should you wash, treat and moisturize again? Any suggestions? What works best?
