Are you suffering from Body acne? or Zits below the neckline?
Don't worry. You are not alone! Lot's of teen get body acne. It
is common in the winter months, when you are wearing piles of
heavy clothing.
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.
Ø 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.
Ø 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 Alfa Hydroxy acid.
This will exfoliate skin and help prevent breakouts, without
drying skin out.
Ø At Nighttime you can treat body acne just like facial acne, by
applying an acne zapping gel or cream at the effected parts.
Ø If your body acne is particularly bad and wont respond to this
treatment after about a month, you will probably need to see a
dermatologist.
