If you’re still going strong with your New Year’s Resolution to get in shape, congratulations!  You’ve probably noticed that your body is looking and feeling better, but you might have found one slight downside- your skin is breaking out more than usual.

We all know that sweat isn’t great for clear skin, and we don’t want anything to stand in the way of your dedication to your workout routine, so here are some tips for minimizing acne breakouts.

From allure.com:

“Take It All Off...
"The most common gym-related dermatoses [skin issues] I see are breakouts at the hairline, on the chest, and on the back," says Fusco. "Much of this is aggravated by excessive sweating, rubbing of material, and clogging with heavy comedogenic products. So always take your makeup off before working out." If you head to the gym right after work, throw some face wipes, like Say Yes to Cucumbers Natural Glow Facial Towelettes, in your bag.

...And Put the Right Clothes On
"Wear a sweat-absorbing cotton tank and underwear to prevent skin from being irritated by synthetic material," says Fusco. "All that irritation can lead to butt, back, and chest acne."

Pull It Back—And Go Easy on the Product
"Wear your hair back off your face in a pony or at least pulled back with a band. If possible, don't put any leave-in products on your hair before working out. At the very least, try not to apply them within two inches of the roots or hairline so that the product doesn't migrate onto your skin and cause a breakout."

Use the Right Products Post-Workout
"Wash your face after you work out with a salicylic acid–based cleanser," says Fusco. We like Best of Beauty winner L'Oréal Youth Code Foaming Gel Cleanser. "If your scalp is oily, use a product like Clear Scalp and
Hair Therapy Total Care because it conditions without leaving oily debris behind." And of course, don't forget to moisturize.”

So now, you can feel free to enjoy all the benefits of a healthy exercise routine!
