Some people also speculate that exercise will help improve acne problems. It is thought that since physical activity increases blood flow, exercise can deliver more blood to the capillaries of the face and other affected areas, allowing them to function more efficiently. In addition, these people believe that because exercise makes you sweat, the pores will open up and push out the oil and bacteria that is causing the acne, as well as removing other toxins from your skin. However, studies show that exercise does not help improve acne either.

Many acne myths have been disproved over the years, and beliefs about exercise effecting acne may be the next to go. It appears at this time that exercise does little to cure or encourage acne in teens or adults. While exercising will improve your health, and people who exercise do have a tendency to feel better about themselves and who they are, it will not affect your acne problem.
