Acne Induced By Exercise? by Sandy Alcide

Even if you don't suffer from excessive acne, your training may be adversely affecting your skin. Yes, acne can be induced by exercise.

But what causes this? Scientists are still uncertain what the exact answer is, but they do have some worthwhile theories. Your lymphatic system is controlled by movement and operates best during exercise. The lymphatic system is also known as "the drainage system of the body". This system consists of lymph nodes & vessels that carry lymph fluid around your body. This amazing circuit collects waste from tissues and returns it to the blood after it has been fully purified.

If the lymph is insufficiently activated, cells swim in their own waste which can block pores. Lymph fluid carries cells that help fight infection. When the blood cells are not able to unload their toxins via the kidneys, they go to the next best eliminative organ: your skin!

When bacteria starts to set in the pores- it causes acne. A raised heart rate brought on by exercise also activates your oil -producing sebaceous glands. Some people have over active sebacious glands from genetics and, when mixed with lymph fluid, toxins or bacteria produces blemishes induced by exercise.

This condition can creep up on us over a long period of time, which is why persons who never had acne are suddenly plagued by it, regardless of what age the exerciser is. Some persons confuse Acne Mechanica caused from actual exercise. Acne Mechanica is an acneiform eruption that has been observed after repetitive physical trauma to the skin such as rubbing, occuring from clothing (sports bras) or sports equipment (football helments and shoulder pads.) It's a type of acne which develops in reaction to heat from the "friction", not from a high inner core temperature from exercising.

Because acne induced by exercise appears on one's outer most layer, the epidermis, there are natural remedies that can be used to the exercisers' advantage.

Most acne treatments tend to dry the skin with chemicals and mass production methods. When using Motion Medica's Acne Kit containing a combination of natural ingredients to purge skin of toxins and reduce excess oil as a daily treatment has been proven to keep acne gone after healing it.

FAQs

I have highly sensitive skin and most products I used for acne caused my skin to be dry. Will this Acne Kit be right for me?

The products are all designed for sensitive skin with no harsh chemicals which leads to dryness. The botanicals are extracted using a cold pressed process thus eliminating alcohol content unlike mass production methods.

I break out on my shoulders and back. Can I use the Acne Kit for this?

Yes. The Acne Kit is not limited to your face.

Are there any known side effects from the Acne Kit?

The Camphor Treatment Stick may cause some tingling to the pimple when first applied.

My breakouts stopped since using the kit. What should I use to prevent future breakouts?

Continue with the Camphor Treatment Masque 2 times a week after cleansing with the Dermaclenz Cleanser. As your exfoliator continue with the Honey Almond Scrub 2 times a week post workout. Never allow more than 30 minutes to cleanse after exercise.

Can the kit be used by teenagers?

Yes. It is recommended for teens 13 years old and up.

I have cystic acne. Will this kit help cure it?

No. Cystic acne is an internal issue.

I have breakouts only where my sports bra straps are. Is this caused by exercise?

No. This is called Acne Mechanica, which is caused by the "friction" of the strap rubbing the skin thus irritating it causing pimples. You would only need to cleanse with the Dermaclenz Cleanser and apply the Camphor Treatment Stick only to blemishes. Also, it may be possible your sports bra has an incorrect fit which causes it to move during workout causing this friction.
