The best thing to do is to shower after every time you do any physical activity. the sooner the better. use face creams, I recomend noxema (use twice a day). if problem persists and you really dont want it you can always see a dermatoligist and ask for an antibiotic. they are abot 80$ but they wrok fast and they do a great job at controling he problem. also, wash your gear, especially the helmets, often to remove bacteria and dirt.

I 've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/ pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it 's at. I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life. I 'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy. Literally the best acne face wash I 've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It 's unique cause of it 's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful. You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn 't work it will still save you butt on the return policy. Well good luck and best wishes.
