- Natural remedies include topical treatments, holistic treatments and preventative measures. Natural topical treatments such as baking soda and tea tree oil are inexpensive and extremely effective in treating and preventing acne. Holistic treatments can help sooth the skin from the inside out, such as meditation or exercise. Preventative measures, like exfoliating the skin in the shower, can also greatly improve the clarity of the skin.
- Body acne can be difficult to reach, so applying natural remedies to the skin can be tricky. It can be helpful to attach a small, soft piece of cloth the end of a back scratcher and use it to apply lotions or oils to your back.
- Acne takes time to heal, so expect 2 to 3 weeks for body acne to clear using natural methods. Although it takes time, clearing your body acne using natural remedies will make your skin stay clear for a lifetime.
- Natural remedies to treat body acne can be made more effective if you get plenty of rest and stay hydrated.
- If you are using an oral acne medication, make sure to consult your doctor before stopping your medication.
