Are you taking any diet pills, or supplements? If so, then they may contain hormones that will fool your body into thinking it is going through puberty
Reply:Don't wash your face more than twice a day, total. If you go first thing in the morning, just wash your face after. If you go mid-day, rinse your face with water. Washing your face too much can dry the skin - then it generates extra oils to combat the dryness and you get more zits.
Reply:Your body is probably producing more hormones since you started at the gym, leading to these break-outs.





I would consult a dermatologist. They have prescription strength washes that can clear up your skin.
Reply:Bring a clean towel from home, and wear it around your neck.


Or, use a hand towel, attached to waist. Use it to blot the sweat instead of your hand, which touches everything dirty in the Gym.
Reply:That happened to me too, the only thing I could say is to visit a dermatologist. Mine told me to wash with Neutrogena fresh foaming cleanser first and a prescribed topical medication after.. been clear ever since. Sometimes the skin gets dry from washing, but Cetaphil does the best job in moisturizing.
Reply:Adult onset acne is common around the age of 35. Having never even had a zit during high school and college, I developed adult acne at 35. The dermatologist said that skin changes around that age and that it was not related to anything I was doing or eating. Go see the dermatologist. Your skin is different that a teenagers and you will have to treat the acne differently.
