Now that you’re aware that whey protein can indeed cause acne, we’d like to share some tips for managing it more effectively. Several recommendations include the following:
Consume the recommended amount
Health experts recommend consuming no more than 1–2 scoops, or approximately 25–50 grams, of whey protein per day. Additionally, you can cap the dosage according to the directions on the label of your preferred brand and consume it post-workout. If your current diet is already protein-dense, adding whey protein on top will be excessive. This is why nutritionists can assist you in better planning your workout diet and determining whether whey protein should be included at all.
Maintain proper exercise hygiene
While whey protein has an internal effect on the skin, you can manage breakouts by practicing proper workout hygiene. Maintain breathable workout attire, change out of it immediately following your workout, and establish a skincare routine to cleanse and soothe your skin.
Continue to hydrate
Maintaining proper hydration while exercising will not only aid in performance but will also help keep your skin clear and acne-free.
Incorporate spot treatments
Avoid beginning a full-fledged acne regimen to help calm the breakouts, as this can cause your skin to dry out. Rather than that, use pimple patches or benzoyl peroxide spot treatments to treat pimples in isolation.
