Body acne is not always easy to treat, especially on the hard-to-reach back area, and is often more difficult to treat than facial acne because body skin is thicker. But with the right regimen, it can be successfully treated. Here are some effective tips on how to get rid of body acne:


*


Wash the acne-prone areas daily using an anti-bacterial soap like Dial庐 or a washcloth with a salicylic acid-based cleanser.





*


Follow up with a 5% to 10% benzoyl peroxide cream (the thicker skin on your body can handle it better than your face) to dry out the pimples, and then use a moisturizer with alpha hydroxyl acid to exfoliate and combat any dryness. You can also use the benzoyl peroxide to spot-treat specific pimples.





*


For unsightly places where body acne hides, aka your booty, gently use a loofah and exfoliating scrub while you鈥檙e in the shower to get rid of dead skin cells. Do not scrub the area roughly, which will only increase irritation and inflammation.





*


It鈥檚 especially important to wash acne-prone areas immediately after heavy perspiration. Take a shower as soon as you can after you鈥檙e done exercising or sweating heavily on a hot day.


*


Keep in mind that it can take up to six weeks to know whether or not your regimen is working, so don鈥檛 give up if you don鈥檛 see immediate results.





*


Try specific products for your body acne, such as Clinique鈥檚 Anti-Blemish Solutions Back and Chest Spray.





*


Don鈥檛 pick at pimples because doing so leads to further irritation and possible scarring.
