My skin is taking a beating :-(
So I'm talking to my honey on Skype today and he notices that my skin is breaking out. Men tend to notice those sorts of things for some reason? He thinks it's from the way I wear my hair but I don't use a lot of products on my hair, I know it's from the profuse amounts of sweat attributed to working out. I have sensitive, oily skin so it's hard to prevent breakouts. When I started exercising I would barely break a sweat, now 5 minutes into my Turbo Fire routines and I'm dripping! I'm trying to find a way to soothe my skin without a harsh regimen. I'm never going to stop working out so I've got to find the right combination of products. The things that worked before aren't cutting it anymore. I guess I just have one more thing to add to my "to do" list. I can't have my honey pointing out every new blemish he notices lol! I am sharing this because things change with our bodies when we start working out, sometimes not so great things. I just have to find a way to manage all of the changes. My skin is important so I've got to take care of that too!

I wear a BondiBand when I work out. I sweat a lot (so gross) and the headband absorbs it all and doesn't bother my skin at all. They're at www.bondiband.com if you want to check them out. Just make sure you get the high wicking one if you try them, the light one doesn't absorb anything.
Thank you Stephanie! I'll go to the site and order! I also wear a womens du-rag that absorbes quite a bit but I need more!
I make sure and clean my face right after I work out. I walk with those facial wipes in my gym bag. I use the Body Shops Tea Tree Line and it fantastic!
Thanks Miss Haneefa! I know Tea Tree oil works great for oil absorption, so it makes perfect sense that those wipes would work well! Looks like I'll be making a trip to The Body Shop too!
Hope you find something that helps with your skin. I know I used to not break much of a sweat either, but now just like you it only takes a few minutes for the faucet to turn on!! LOL!!
since working out, ive switched my cleanser to cetaphil and I use Witch Hazel as a toner. Works wonders.
