How to Avoid Bacne

It is more common than most people think and affects people of all ages. However, with consistent care and treatment, you can easily treat bacne and avoid it in the future. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Do not neglect your back in the shower. Buy a back brush to wash those hard-to-reach areas.
-
2
Buy a soap or body wash specifically made for skin acne problems and put a fair amount on the brush to scrub on your back. Avoid rubbing skin too hard.

3
Toss out your loofah or back brush after 3 or 4 months if you use one. While a loofah, brush or sponge on a handle is excellent for your back, all (especially loofahs) accumulate bacteria over time.

4
Change out of your workout clothes immediately after exercising and shower, even if you are just wearing a sports bra or special clothing that wicks away moisture.
-
5
Apply the same acne products on your back overnight that you use on your face. If it's a hard-to-reach place, ask a close friend, parent or spouse to help you. Let it dry before putting on a shirt.

Tips & Warnings
See a dermatologist if it continues to spread. It might be a sign of a bigger health problem.
If your skin begins to peel, reduce applying the medication to every other night.
