Yes it absolutely can ,it attracts dirt,in warmer months you sweat more your skin can become more oily your skin will also produce more sebum that's why a lot of people breakout in the summer

It can if you don't properly wash your face. Sweat is the excess salt and water that your body releases in order to cool you down. Leaving it on your skin can clog your pores, especially if you're more acne prone.

It's called acne mechanica. acne doesn't happen from sweat glands... however, sweat attracts dirt and other things which left in the skin can cause breakouts. Its best to rinse off and wear loose workout clothes to avoid breakouts.

Yup, you need to cleanse after or at the very least use a toner help remove bacterial, sweat and oils from the skin after workouts or being in the hot sun long enough to sweat.
1/3 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar, Witch Hazel and Distilled water
1 generous tsp of Thyme
let the thyme steep over night or just leave it in any that gets on the skin will brush right off when dry.
Store in a cool place if possible, make a half batch as see how long it takes you to use it shelf life is just over a few weeks.
