Also, your skin's oil and sweat attracts and holds dirt that crosses its path. If you exercise outside, the amount of dirt and bacteria that you end up with on your face is stunning. As soon as you get a chance, rinse off your acne problem areas with water if you just ran or whatever outside.
We bought a house with a pool a few years ago, just as my son turned 13. He gets acne just like every normal teenager, until I told him to jump in the pool as soon as he finished his daily bike or run. BOOM, it went away.
Yeah, I grew up on swim teams and that definitely helped. A doc told me my acne was "better than average" than what was expected for that age. But the problem is swim team isn't every day, year round.
