chiro2b said:acne goes like this...testosterone stimulates the sebaceous glands in our skin to produce sebum, which lubricates the hair so it can slide up and down (like when you get goose-bumps and shit)...bacteria on your skin feed on that sebum (because it's rich in lipids and they eat that shit up) and the irritation caused by the the bacteria in the hair follicle causes the inflammation (the pimple)...SO TAKE A DAMN SHOWER right after you work out...then drink your shake/eat/practice posing/shave your forearms...
that is why we only get acne where we can grow hair (no one gets pimples on their palms, right?)
It's not nearly that simple bro. That's only part of the story. I can take 50 showers a day and still break out. A lot has to do with genetic predisposition.
