How to get rid of back acne at home

Hi lovelies!

I don't know about you guys but the weather where I live has been misbehaving these days! But let's set this bipolar weather aside for now and dig into our topic: BACNE!!!

What ?!?

Yes, I'm talking about back acne! For those of you who don't have to suffer from it, lucky you! However, it's almost impossible to find any one who was born to have a naturally perfect skin from head to toes :-s Well, I don't know about you, but not me! Our bodies are all different; some people have acne on their faces, some have on their backs, and some have on ...somewhere else :"> 

But stay calm, I share the same problem with you! I used to have severe back acne before and it became worse and worse since I didn't take care of it :( I was very shy and tried to avoid wearing any clothes that could make my back skin exposed! However, as soon as I was aware of my problem, I started to pay more attention and take care of my skin and body more seriously. 

After one month of consistently treating my back skin well, I've noticed how amazing it works and I just want to share it with you guys, whoever are suffering from the same problem as I was! My back feels much smoother now and at least 95% of my back acne has gone! I can barely feel any when touching my back. I only notice some scars that are gradually fading away as I look in the mirror and check it out, which is unbelievable! So, here is how it works :)

Always hydrate yourself with water

I know you are all bored of hearing this; however, drinking at least 8 cups of water a day really does the job! Honestly, I usually consume more than that because I like taking a water bottle with me every where I go just so I can fill it up when it runs out. Sufficient water does not only help you get rid of acne on your skin but also purifies your whole body!

Make sure your clothes are always clean

No need to explain, right? :D

Avoid contact with chemicals

A common mistake happens when we spray or use hair products on our hair while our skin is not covered. The chemicals that are in hair products are not made to give us a beautiful skin; in contrast, they make the situation become much worse. 

Use just a right amount of detergent

Trust me, surplus detergent may cause a counter effect. You want to make sure that your clothes are clean, yet minimize the amount of chemicals that might interact with your skin in all situations. For those whose skins are as sensitive as mine, try it and you'll see how it helps!

Use bathing products that are made for acne treatment

If you haven't done it, switch your body wash to something that is formulated specifically for back acne. My favorite one is from Neutrogena with pink grapefruit added. I started using it about a month ago and have just purchased it again! I'd recommend it to anyone that hasn't tried it before because it does make a huge difference on my skin <3 They're a little more pricy than normal drug store body wash; however, $7 is inexpensive for a great result!

Use clarifying body spray

If your budget allows you to go a little further, I'd highly recommend trying the Clarifying Body Spray from Murad. It's pretty expensive; however, it's so worth the money! I purchased the first one two months ago and I guess I still have half of it now; so, somewhat it's not that expensive! Also, it helps in clarifying my back skin tremendously and I use it every day right after showering. The best thing I like about it is that it's a spray so I don't have a hard time applying it on my skin. Also, I don't have to use my hands to touch on my back either because I'm always afraid that the bacteria in my hands might cause more acne.  

Personally, I don't like scrubbing my skin with lemon as many people recommend. My skin is very sensitive, so I tried doing it a couple times and usually it just made my skin condition become worse. I hope you find this post helpful, give it a try and let me know if it works for you! 

Stay beautiful everyone! <3
