Best Practices to Prevent BJJ Acne
1. Shower Immediately
Wash with warm water and gentle cleanser as soon as possible.
2. Change Out of Training Clothes
Do not sit in sweaty gear.
3. Wash Gear After Every Session
Dirty gis harbor bacteria and fungus.
4. Avoid Heavy Makeup
Makeup + sweat = clogged pores.
5. Support Immune Health
Overtraining, weight cutting, and poor sleep weaken immune defenses.
Should You Wash Your Face at the Gym?
Yes — if possible.
Even rinsing with warm water immediately after class reduces bacteria exposure time.
Does Diet Affect BJJ Acne?
It can.
High stress, extreme calorie deficits, and poor recovery may impact hormones and skin health.
