Body acne is a common skin condition which tends to affect teenagers in particular. Hot, humid climates can make it worse. The thicker skin on the body provides an ideal climate for bacteria (P.acnes) to proliferate leading to body acne.
This summer fight back. Help clear breakouts by increasing exfoliation and controlling the oiliness that contributes to the problem. Choose from a range of products including:
- M2 HP Skin Refinish. The combination of mandelic and malic acids is antibacterial and oil absorbing
- Neostrata Toning Solution. Salicylic acid and glycolic acid clear away dead skin cells and unclog blocked, oily pores, which lead to body acne
- Green Cream. This retinol based treatment can clear blocked pores and shrink oil glands helping to diminish breakouts.
Lastly, moisturize. Treatments for body acne may be harsh. Slathering on non-greasy moisturizers as needed will help to minimize dryness. Opt for products containing alpha hydroxy acids, which help to slough away dead skin cells while delivering soft smooth skin. Lac-Hydrin and Epilyt Lotion are two popular and effective treatments to consider.
