5 Things You Can Do To Clear Body Acne
By Acne Free | April 26, 2008
I’m seeing a lot of confusion about how to clear body, as if it’s a totally different beast then it’s red headed step brother, facial acne.
The truth is the same stuff that work on your face works for body acne. The only consideration being your clothing, and hygiene. Listen, if your walking around stewing in your own bodily secretions you’re not only making your body acne worse, but your making the people around miserable with your powerful stink. For yours, and everyone else’s sake shower and change your clothes daily.
Now that we got that out of the way lets talk about getting rid of body acne.
As I mentioned the same things that work on your face work on your body, but some techniques might need slight modification to compensate for the increased surface area you’re having to deal with. So hear my 5 tips:
- Wash With a Benzoyl Peroxide Body Bar: All this is – is a bar of soap infused with Benzoyl Peroxide. This will help eliminate acne causing bacteria. You can find this soap at most drug stores for less then $5 a bar.
- Exfoliate Your Skin: When you shower use what’s called a loofah sponge to gently remove dead skin cells from your skin. These pore clogging dead skin cells can build up on your body because they get trapt between your skin and clothing, use a loofah to wipe them away.
- Moisturize With 100% Aloe Gel: The Benzoyl Peroxide soap and exfoliating can leave you with some very dry skin, don’t slather some oil-filled-goop that’s laced with scented chemicals all over your body because you’ll only clog your pores and make your body acne worse. Instead use 100% non-scented aloe gel. You can pick up a big bottle of this stuff dirt cheap at most stores.
- Drink Water Like Your Life Depends On It (because it does): You already know you should drink water, but most people say 8 glasses a day will do ya’. I say drink about 20.
- Take Supplements: For any kind of acne I suggest vitamin b5 and fish oil.
There’s my 5 body acne tips. I hope this helps.
