Body acne

Question

So when I was younger (like 13/14) I had really bad back acne and it cleared up as I got older. I’m now 23 and I’m getting it again and have no idea why! It’s been making me really insecure and I’ve tried neutrogena and pan oxyl body acne washes and it hasn’t cleared up! Any advice or product recommendations? I’ll try literally anything please 😭

Answer

PanOxyl, the 10% benzoyl peroxide one is the one that works for me. Neutrogena has always been a horrible product for me. Another one that works well for me is The Body Shop Tea Tree line. There’s also a body lotion called TreeActive. I haven’t tried any of the other products in that line, but if they’re as good as the lotion they’re worth a try. After washing and applying the lotion, spray with Murad Clarifying Body Spray. Other than that, make sure you’re showering every day, and anytime you sweat a lot. You can even try carrying body wipes with you in case you get sweaty. Don’t use any washcloths or loofahs or sponges or anything like that when you wash The acne prone parts of your body. Make sure you’re wearing clean clothes daily, using clean towels, changing your sheets and pillowcases regularly, and drinking enough water. If none of this works for you, it may need to be treated with antibiotics, or it may be hormonal.

Answer

I'm in school to become an esthetician. They tell us to make sure you shampoo and condition your hair and rinse it out before washing your body. Due to the oils from the conditioner it could clog your pores. You can also get a back treatment that can help treat the acne on your back, it will exfoliate and a mask will be applied. Plus it's amazing! I hope this helps.

Answer

I love these for my skin. Have you changed to a different laundry soap? Possibly putting to much soap 🧼 in your laundry could make you break out. I have quit using laundry soap for my clothes.
