Body Care
Blemishes on the back, also called "bacne", derived from "back acne", can be very annoying. After all, who wouldn't want to be able to wear backless tops and dresses, or even just a sheer top, in the summer without worrying? The more skin we show, the more frustrating it is to have to deal with skin blemishes in the areas below the neck.
Just like on the face, blemishes on the back or shoulders are caused by excess sebum clogging the pores. In addition dead skin cells promote the multiplication of bacteria very quickly. The sebaceous glands can inflame and pimples may appear. Changes in hormonal balance, wrong diets, wrong clothes, stress, also wrong/too little body hygiene or even residues of hair care products additionally intensify the development.
However, bacne can be treated well with suitable care products.
For skin that is prone to blemishes, a regular and suitable care routine is essential, because sweat and dirt can additionally clog the pores on the back and promote the development of pimples. More and more suppliers are addressing this issue and offering specific products for the optimal care of our backsides, such as a care duo with bodywash & body lotion with salicylic acid.
When choosing cleansing and care products, always make sure that they are non-comedogenic - they contain no ingredients that settle in the pores and clog them. Depending on skin sensitivity, a mild acid peel 1-2 times a week could also help, as it removes dead skin cells without further damaging the skin and effectively prevents from new blemishes.
But to be able to alleviate the appearance in the long term, it is important to know the cause of it. With the right skin care routine as well as with a mindful and healthy lifestyle, one can actively contribute something to a smoother and more even skin appearance. But: in cases of severe acne, of course, you should consult a dermatologist.
