Wild guess. Maybe your pores are clogged and sweating might be irritating the pores even more.

Wash your face with cleanser before and after running.

Not true. Damaging skin can give some bacteria an opportunity to reproduce more, which manifests as acne. Sometimes it also manifests as flaky skin.

Immediately after working out shower with a light salicylic acid, something like this.

I've had a lot of friends with the same problem, they must shower immediately after the gym/jogging otherwise they start to break out.

Get some Sea Breeze or Witch Hazel and apply with a cotton pad after you run.

toxins are stored in the body's fat, skin etc... your workout is pushing the toxins out. keep exercising its good for you. in the meantime use a few drops of pure tea tree oil diluted with a little water. i put 2-3 drops on my hand, get the other one slightly wet, rub my hands together and apply to my problem areas. if you do this when you feel the first signs of inflammation, it oftens kills the acne before it starts. it'll be a little stingy and gives off a smell for a 30 min or so. trader joes has the best deal i've found.

So do I still wipe my face with a dry towell when I sweat whilst running and straight after, go and have a wash?

Careful not to get the tea tree oil solution near your eyes. I've put some on over my orbitals and my eyes were tearing. I'd hate to think what it feels like to actually get some in your eyes.
