Pimples on the body: why they appear
(and how to remove them if you go to the gym) 

You work out like crazy at the gym thinking you're going to start an OnlyFans account, but suddenly your butt looks like it could grate Parmesan cheese. You're past adolescence (ages ago), but the pimples on your shoulders seem determined to prove otherwise.

 

Relax, king, today we'll tell you why sports and your sex (genetics and environment) are working against you, behind your back, in the form of pimples and blackheads, and how you can get rid of them once and for all.

THE SCIENCE OF GRAIN (BAR VERSION)

Where there's hair, there's joy and the possibility of pimples. The hair follicle is the same one through which sebum (which I don't know) comes out. Sebum is a natural lubricant that protects the skin. But when there's an excess, or it mixes with too many dead skin cells and bacteria, the pore gets clogged and a pimple appears. Nothing personal, just chemistry, oil, and a bit of skin chaos.

 

And do you know what two situations don't exactly help keep body pimples away...?

Well, being a guy and playing sports. There you have it: 

1. BEING AN UNCLE

Why do men have more body pimples than women?

 

Pure genetics with testosterone involved:

  • More testosterone (natural or plugged in) = more fat (which we mentioned above). More sebum = more chance of pimples.
     
  • More body hair = more 'holes' = more chance of sweat + friction = explosive cocktail.
     
  • Do men have, on average, 10-20% more stratum corneum or layers of dead skin than women? – more chances of the hair hole getting 'blocked'.

2. SPORT:

I'm sure you already suspected that the sweat wasn't wiped away, the friction of Lycra clothing or contact with surfaces full of bacteria They weren't the best combination for your pores.

 

But what you may not know is that most post-workout supplements don't help either:

  • Whey-type protein? contain IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor), a molecule that stimulates sebum production.
     
  • Creatine? It can increase levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a more potent form of testosterone. This extra hormonal surge can stimulate the sebaceous glands.
     
  • The 'shortcuts'? ​​Ahem ahem. They are designed to directly alter the hormonal balance by triggering inflammation and sebum production.  

Oh, and farts… but well, that's another inconvenience for another post.

 

Conclusion: The gym gives you muscle... And if you go too hard, you'll get pimples too. 

SO WHAT DO WE DO TO GET RID OF THEM (AND PREVENT THEM FROM COMING BACK)?

The good news: body pimples They are not an eternal sentencebut a sign that your skin needs the right care:

1. SHOWER AFTER SWEATING: From the gym, a day of running outside the office, or a night of HIIT. And, listen up: how matters:

  • Warm water is better than boiling water.
     
  • It's best to avoid soaps with excessive sulfates that leave you drier than when you have to pay taxes.
     
  • Dry with a clean towel (yes, clean = maximum 5 uses before washing!) and without rubbing as if you were sanding a piece of furniture. 

2. CHOOSE A SOAP THAT KNOWS WHAT IT'S DOING: "All-purpose" soaps often end up being useless... for nothing. If you're dealing with breakouts, you need something that cleanses and exfoliates without disrupting your skin's balance. That's where our [product/product] comes in. Mintastic with activated carbon: 

  • Activated carbon acts like a magnet, drawing dirt, grease, and bacteria out of pores.
     
  • Centella asiatica soothes irritated skin.
     
  • Mint and spearmint are refreshing and antimicrobial.
     
  • It's 100% natural, with no parabens or drama.

Basically, it cleans like a saint and smells like sin. 

3. CLEAN CLOTHES AND FRESH AIR: Don't wear the same gym shirt twice. And if you can, choose breathable fabrics.

MAKE YOUR MUSCLES LOOK TWICE AS GOOD

Okay, woke moment: pimples don't define you, but they're not a souvenir you have to keep either. Getting rid of those red spots on your back also boosts self-esteem and looks better in mirror selfies.
 

So yes, Your jersey numbers deserve the spotlightBut it's because of the camera's close-up or whoever climbs on your back, not because of excess oil. Start by changing your soap; your skin (and anyone who touches it) will thank you.
