Does weight lifting cause acne? This week is really reinforcement week. I want you to all know that exercise clears up acne, and share with you my post, home acne treatment! I know that exercise has a bad name for acne, but really, exercising releases toxins through sweat. These are toxins that would and could otherwise lead to breakouts.With that being said, exercise is good for acne.

Weightlifting + ^ / Testosterone = Acne

Weightlifting seems to cause an increase in testosterone levels, and an increase of testosterone can lead to acne breakouts (Acne - The Testosterone Connection). With that being said, it seems like weightlifting can cause acne.

Recommendation

Don't stop lifting. Instead, I recommend using a good acne fighting product, and using that product on a consistent basis. Back when I was lifting, I still had clear skin because of the fact that I was using Proactiv. See my Before and after Proactiv photo.
