Let's find out how to manage back acne together~

1. Improvement of lifestyle habits

The first step in getting rid of back acne is to improve your lifestyle habits, which are the biggest cause. You need to change your greasy diet and ensure you get enough sleep and rest. While it would be best to quit drinking and smoking before going swimming this summer, it is advisable to cut back even just a little bit.

 

2. Clean environment

Applying hair products like wax can irritate the forehead, making it prone to acne. It is best to avoid products containing irritating ingredients, and always keep items that come into direct contact with your back clean. Clean not only your clothes but also items such as bedding and chairs thoroughly.

 

3. Rinse thoroughly

You must properly rinse your back after shampooing or showering to minimize skin irritation, as product residue is often the cause of back acne. While you can rinse thoroughly with water during a shower, you may not be able to properly rinse out shampoo or conditioner that has dripped down your back when shampooing alone. When shampooing, bend your head down sufficiently, and when rinsing, be sure to rinse thoroughly all the way down to your neck.

 

4. Removal of waste products

Removing impurities is an important lifestyle habit for getting rid of back acne. You need to flush out waste through regular exercise every day. In particular, scrubbing or using exfoliating scrubs when acne appears on the back can worsen the condition. Please be careful, as severe back acne may require treatment for inflammation.

 

5. Using Body Lotion Correctly

If you have back acne, there is no need to apply body lotion unless you experience discomfort due to dryness or itching. In particular, you should avoid body lotions that contain a lot of oil.

 

6. Cleaning agent

If your back acne does not improve despite washing your back frequently, you should stop using cleansers. This is because the ingredients may not agree with you and could actually worsen the acne. In such cases, simply washing with water alone is said to be helpful.

 

7. Taking too many showers

Showering too frequently to keep your back clean can dry out your skin. Dry skin promotes sebum secretion and lowers the skin's immunity. A weakened immune system increases the risk of infection from various bacteria. Please take care to prevent your skin from becoming too dry.
