Prevent & Overcome Back Acne

Overcome back acne: In the words of John Mayer, “Bad news never has good timing.” Well, the same thing can be said for back acne (aka bacne), no matter the season, bacne never has good timing. Not only can it ruin your plans for the perfect outfit (whether it’s that backless dress or the new bikini you bought) it also causes you physical discomfort. We understand, that bacne is frustrating & irritating (literally). In order to prevent & overcome back acne, we first need to understand what causes it. Similar to facial acne, the genesis of bacne is the buildup of dead skin cells, bacteria & excessive sebum. Not only is the skin on your back thicker, making it more vulnerable to clogged pores, but it also has more oil glands than other parts of the body. Hence, bacne. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back (literally).

Here are a few tips & trips to prevent & overcome back acne at home:

Avoid wearing tight clothing, especially when working out because it can lead to acne mechanica, which is sweat & oil mixed with friction causing damage to your hair follicles and making your back more susceptible to infection (aka breakouts).
Avoid fragrances whether that is laundry detergent or perfume the chemicals found in these products can cause your pores to become clogged.
Stress can heighten hormonal levels leading to acne.
Clean your sheets & towels regularly if you do not change out your towels & sheets regularly they can start to build up with dead skin cells, acne-causing bacteria & dust mites…ew.
Do not pick! Resist the urge to pick because it to inflammation & can cause hyperpigmentation.
Hair care products can contain chemicals, like sulfates and/or oils, that can irritate & clog your pores. Pro-tip: when in the shower waiting for your conditioner to do its thing, put your hair up to prevent products & overcome back acne Have contact with your back & make washing your back the last step in your routine.
Like most problems with our body changing your diet to eating more anti-inflammatory foods can reduce all forms of acne (yes, that includes bacne).
Moisturize your back to keep your skin hydrated & to regulate sebum production.
Remove Whey protein from your diet since it can cause inflammation in your body which can lead to cystic acne.
Use a back scrubber inside the shower to make sure you are gently exfoliating away any buildup of dead skin cells that can lead to clogged pores.
