Blackheads and whiteheads can appear anywhere on the face, chest, back, or even lower! Blackheads occurring on the body are most common in those with genetically oily skin. However, a person using comedogenic or acnegenic lotions or body care products can experience blackheads on the body.
Here are 6 tips to help control and prevent body acne:
|
• |
|
Wear natural fibers, or fabrics specifically engineered to wick moisture away from the skin. This is especially important if you're working out. |
| |
• |
|
Experiencing acne where you carry a backpack or purse? Carry a bag with your hands instead. |
| |
• |
|
Shower as soon as possible after perspiring. If you can’t shower, carry a travel-friendly product containing Salicylic Acid to help purify and clear skin of excess oils. |
| |
• |
|
Wash the affected areas with a cleanser designed for acne-prone skin. |
| |
• |
|
After allowing the skin to dry, apply a product containing benzoyl peroxide to the affected areas. |
| |
• |
|
If you often suffer from dry skin, moisturize, using a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Excessively dry skin can lead to breakouts. |
