Thread: breaking out after workouts and also never gave up coffee

been REALLY enjoying two hour long vigorous walks a day, sweat like a pig and i shower and clean my face when i get home but have noticed i have slight breakout problems now..not full on zits just tiny bumps ..i'm assuming i need a more astringent type cleaner or something??

and...never gave up the coffee. a friend of mine visited from bay area who sucks down more coffee than anyone i know so we had great fun enjoying starbucks twice a day and being super hyper freaks all over waikiki and giggling about dumb things

but..despite the island vog in the air am feeling excellent. i've walked so much my ass hurts

I used to lather up my skin with betadyne, let it sit on my skin for a couple of hideously yellow minutes and then rinse. Doesn't irritate the skin.

I'm a fan of witch hazel. Natural astringent and doesn't sting or dry my skin out too badly. If I can't get into the shower immediately after a workout, I swab this all over once my pores have closed back up...I'm a "glistener". I sweat from every pore on my body when I work out but don't necessarily roll in sweat. Doing this keeps the workout related acne under control.
