So I didn’t really talk about SWIMMING in number 4, mostly swim suits. (No, I am NOT running out of ideas because it’s 2:30 in the morning and I have to be to work at 5:45…..) But swimming is the best, especially after being out in the sun and NATURALLY tanning all day, you just jump in the pool and cool off and everything is gravy. And swimming is pretty much the best exercise you can do. It is low impact, and fun! Also chlorine, which SHOULD be in any pool you swim in, if it isn’t, pray that you don’t die, helps with acne. Okay it’s not just the acne, here’s the real reason. [...] [...] 9. So I didn’t really talk about SWIMMING in number 4, mostly swim suits.

In fact, it puts your skin at the two extremes, very oily and very dry. The chlorine in the pool dries out your skin like crazy, and then your skin, trying to keep it in balance, produces a lot of oil to make up for it which clogs your pores. ALWAYS use lotion right when you get out of the water so that it slows down the process of your body over-producing too much oil.

It's almost not there after swimming for a little while and washing my face day and night with a cleanser bar. I also use 2.5% benzoylparoxide morning and night.

Over time, it will start to react differently to certain chemicals. Rather than trying a multitude of harsh and often expensive products, why not stick with a routine that will carry through throughout the year? Really, you could do something as simple as washing your face with warm water and a washcloth in the morning to gently exfoliate...and then following with a light moisturizer. Then, perhaps, you could use a gentle cleanser at night to remove dirt, oil, and makeup...and, again, follow with a light moisturizer. As far as actually treating the acne goes, diet goes a LONG way. And natural products can be very effective too. Did you know that green tea cream has been proven to be as effective in treating acne as a 4% solution of benzoyl peroxide? Only it's far less irritating! A dab of tea tree oil to a blemish can be quite effective too. They're worth the try, since they're a hell of a lot cheaper than a lot of the crap out on the market. Drinking green tea regularly can help improve your skin too. Adding more zinc to your diet can do wonders! But really, continually drying the shi* out of your skin with harsh acne products is only going to strip it of its natural oils and send your skin into a state of shock that will make it work overtime to heal itself...only getting MORE oily and producing MORE sebum that will potentially create MORE acne. You'd be surprised how far being gentle to your skin can go...and the benefits of a better diet and physical activity. READ READ READ before you jump into something. Especially acne medications, which can have serious side effects. Look at reviews. Check out acne.org and read around the forums.

I lost a lot of weight, now i'm 105 lbs but started getting acne... I now believe that a diet effects acne. I’m a guy.. and about this time last year I was 6ft at 210 lbs, and had no acne.

It was probably a combination of things, but did you change your diet at all after you stopped swimming?
