Running Causes Acne?

Wow. For some reason this idea has been popping up lately. This myth that running causes acne. And usually back acne. Let me address this as I have some experience as a runner and as one who has had his fair share of acne. I played soccer for 12 years growing up from 6 until I was 18, and I can safely say that whether it was in season or out, I had acne always. Would it worsen in season? I don’t recall this happening at all. However, I was also getting a lot of sun, especially right before school started with long soccer practices starting like 6 weeks out before school started every year in high school. But early on when I first started getting acne at age 10 or 11 as I remember, this had no bearing on acne. The only thing that made a huge difference was when we started using Its Pure Soap… this made a HUGE difference. You all need to try it!

    Naturally you can’ t expect to get rid of your acne in just a few days; natural treatments take a little time to work; but if you’ re persistent, you’ ll get skin free of pimples and blemishes without the serious side effects that you find in commercial acne medicines.

  2. Blogging Blogger Says:

    Don’t blame the acne on running :)

  3. No More Scars Says:

    Everybody skin reacts differently to the chemicals (good or bad) that make up an product. Whether it’s cheap soap or expensive creams. Finding something that works for you is important.

    Good exercise on the other hand is by and large always a good idea.

  8. Best Anti Wrinkle Cream Says:

    The notion that acne is caused by running is laughable. If a runner is suffering from back acne, they must take into consideration that their lotion, body soap, or even laundry detergent could be the culprit.

  9. Sarah Says:

    Running isn’t the cause of acne, its the sweat which open your pores that collect dirt and when they clogs up, this causes acne. I have been making home made soap for awhile now and the lye in the soap has help reduce ance but this is base only on first hand experience.

  10. best acne treatment Says:

    I strongly suggest oatmeal and honey. Get regular flavored oatmeal and microwave it, then mix in honey. Rub it on your face and leave it on for 15 mins. then rinse with cold water. i promise you’ll see immediate results. And your skin won’t be irritated or anything. Don’t use any soap or cleansers. The facial mask will do the job of cleaning your face.

    I can’t imagine that running has anything to do with the acne problem. I’m glad pure soap worked out well for you, though.

    Sweat causing acne is generally just a myth. It is usually excess oil production in the skin that leads to acne and not sweat.

  29. Acnenomore Says:

    Step 1
    Speak to your pharmacist about recommending some over the counter treatments, for your particular skin type.

    Step 2
    Follow the instructions carefully to help clear existing pimples and prevent new ones from forming.

    Step 3
    Stick with your recommended treatment. Use a gentle cleanser and mild moisturiser. Keep cosmetic use to a minimum. Avoid oil-based cosmetics, which may clog the pores.

    Step 4
    If you’re still concerned about your acne after eight weeks, make an appointment to visit your GP.
