Body acne impacts many. A study shows 9.4% of people globally have it. Common as it is, acne can shake some people’s confidence.
To those with acne, I say, “Love yourself.” YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL AND ACNE IS JUST A CONDITION! NOTHING MORE.
Here are ten ways to deal with body acne. Stay positive!
Don’t let sweat dry on your skin! Shower!
When you exercise or maintain a healthy routine, you sweat a lot. Shower right after your workout to stop sweat from drying on your skin.
Exfoliate!
Include exfoliating scrubs in your skincare. They can remove dead skin cells, sweat, dirt, and other pore – clogging stuff.
Wear breathable clothes
Some fabrics and tight clothes can irritate your skin. Wear breathable ones for comfort and to avoid skin problems.
Keep hair off your back!
Long hair can carry dirt to your back. Keep it away from your back to prevent acne.
Choose skincare products carefully
Be cautious with skincare products. Check ingredients and pick those for acne – prone skin. Salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and white willow bark can help treat acne.
Stay hydrated!
Remember, well – moisturized skin is healthy. Drink more water as it helps with immune function and flushes out acne – causing bacteria.
Add anti – inflammatory and anti – oxidant foods to your diet
Eating anti – inflammatory foods can reduce acne. Berries, whole grains, beans, some nuts, and others are great for this.
Don’t pop pimples!
Avoid touching or popping pimples. It can lead to scarring or infection. If it itches a lot, see a dermatologist and get a topical spray for faster healing.
