In the summer, I tend to drink more water and actually exercise. Though I find sweat gross, it helps release toxins from my body. But during the winter, I usually find myself too busy or lazy to leave the house. This means those toxins are building up in my body — with no way to get out, says Zeichner.

There are two options: 1. Go to a nearby sauna to get the job done fast, or 2. Make a conscious effort to go to the gym more often. If you chose the second option, here are a few tips to help prevent workout-induced body acne:

• Before you workout, pre-treat your face with a water-based moisturizer (like Neutrogena Oil-Free Anti-Acne Moisturizer, $5.99). It’s lighter and not as greasy as regular lotion, so it will help prevent sweat from stinging and irritating your face, says Baldwin.

• After you workout, make sure you wipe off your face immediately, since dried sweat clogs pores and leads to itchy bumps, says Wu.

• Shower right away and use an acne-treating body scrub. Avoid scented washes and deodorant soaps, which can irritate your skin, says Jaliman.

• If you can’t get to a shower, wipe off the sweatiest areas (your face, chest, and back) with a pre-moistened wipe that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, says Wu.
