Wasn't sure if to post this here or in beauty. Basically after a workout I have a red sweaty face that burns. I've also had a few breakouts. I'm conscious of not using hot water and I'm using a gentle face wash in the shower as soon as I get home. But it still feels sore for hours.
The other thing is hard pimples on the top of my arms. They're very unsightly but only in that place. Could that be sweat induced also? Any advice or tips would be great.

Hi OP. Ouch, this sounds painful. Have you tried a really cold muslin cloth or similar with no product on to gently wipe your face immediately after? If you've got product on before training maybe the sweat is reacting with it? I sweat like a crazy woman and virtually have a purple face after a run and I find an ice cold face wipe (I know, v bad for the plant, I've a few packs to use up then I'm ditching them) straight from the fridge to gently wipes sweat etc off is a relief from my furnace of a face.

Not sure about your arms I'm afraid but lost of posters on this board so hopefully you'll get some suggestions soon.
