Masturbation: Acne and facial oil can be caused by nurmerous factors. This can include increased testosterone production, DHEA production, poor diet, poor GI function, or infections. Masturbation, itself, however, will not cause acne, as it will not cause increases in hormone levels for that long or to that effect.
