Get rid of back acne

Are you suffering from Body acne? or Zits below the neckline? Body acne can appear anywhere you have pores (think face, neck, back and lower body but typically not palms or soles). Acne breakouts are common on people who have genetically oily or acneic skin, but they can also occur with use of comedogenic (pore-clogging) skin and hair care products.

Lot's of people get body acne. It is common in the winter months, when you are wearing piles of heavy clothing. And during summer or at the gym, sweat can clog skin pores and lead to breakouts all over.

Other things that can cause body acne are tight fitting clothing ( It traps sweat against the skin, leading to clogged pores and blemishes) stress and hormones. Body acne commonly pops up on the chest and back.

Here are some tips p dealing with back acne:

To zap body acne and prevent it from coming back, you can wash your body daily with a salicylic acid based cleanser. Look for this ingredient on product labels. A great product is the COSRX Salicylic Acid Cleanser.
Shower daily and be sure to shower as soon as possible anytime you have been sweating such as after playing sports, working outside or just being in the sun. After your shower, you can follow up by a body moisturizer that contains an Alpha Hydroxy acid. This will exfoliate skin and help prevent breakouts, without drying skin out.
At Nighttime you can treat body acne just like facial acne, by applying an acne zapping gel or cream at the effected parts.
Avoid scratchy, itchy or tight fabrics and choose fabrics that are breathable, like cotton. This helps keep skin free from congestion caused by trapped sweat, dead skin cells, excess oil and bacteria. Fabrics that are specifically engineered to wick moisture away from the skin are also helpful, especially during exercise.
Letting sweat linger promotes an acne-friendly environment on your skin. If you can’t shower right away, apply a product that contains Salicylic Acid to help purify and clear skin of excess oils. Existing breakouts may also benefit from a Salicylic Acid spot treatment.
Acne-prone skin tends to shed more skin cells, which can clog pores and cause acne if they aren’t removed. Exfoliate with a gentle body scrub at least once or twice a week to help prevent acne. Avoid scrubs that use nuts, pits or shells as they can create tiny abrasions in the skin.
The skin naturally moisturizes itself with sebum (oil), but when your body’s moisture levels are off balance, your skin can overproduce oil to compensate. Moisturize daily with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to help prevent this.
Your cell phone harbors more bacteria than you know! Even if you don’t hold it against your face, you touch it with your hands, which then touch your face and spread breakout-causing bacteria. Clean it daily with an anti-bacterial wipe.
Your pillowcase can collect oil, skin cells, bacteria and pore-clogging residue from hair products – all things that contribute to acne. Wash it at least once or twice a week help reduce congestion. Also, avoid using fabric softener or dryer sheets, which are often made with softening agents that can clog pores or irritate sensitive skin.

If your body acne is particularly bad and wont respond to this treatment after about a month, you will may consider seeing a dermatologist.
