Try to eat more veggies and fruits. Make sure you are drinking at least 8 - 8oz glasses of water a day - if not a little more. Because you are active you body really needs to stay hydrated. The water will help you bowel movements too. Once every 2 days though can be normal for some people. If you start to feel bloated or crampy then you may need to see someone about it or ask your doctor about laxatives that would be ok for someone your age. A good one I use is by Equate which is a Wal-mart brand and they are vegetable laxatives. All natural. The reason you acne disappears after you go is because feces are toxic. If it sits in the system too long then the toxins start to emit out of your pores causing acne. Once you cleanse your body the toxins are gone. Good luck

I thought the average was twice in three days or three times in 5 days.

That's not abnormal. Everyone's different.
If you go a month without doing #2, then I would worry.

Try to eat more fruit and veggies. Also, up your fiber intake.
