Body acne can be frustrating, but it’s manageable with consistent care and smart habits.
**1. Shower After Sweating**
“Always shower as soon as possible after working out or sweating heavily.” Sweat traps dirt and oil, clogging pores. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic body wash to clean your skin.
**2. Exfoliate and Treat Regularly**
Dead skin leads to clogged pores. Use salicylic acid or glycolic acid 2–3 times a week. For breakouts, apply benzoyl peroxide or tea tree oil to the affected areas daily—“be consistent for best results.”
**3. Choose Breathable Fabrics**
Tight clothes trap moisture and irritate the skin. “Opt for loose-fitting, moisture-wicking fabrics,” especially during workouts, and change quickly after sweating.
**4. Avoid Picking and Stay Consistent**
Don’t pick or scratch acne—it can cause scarring or infection. “Let treatments do their job.” Stick to your routine for at least 4–6 weeks to see results.
**5. When to Get Help**
“If body acne is severe or not improving… consult a dermatologist.” Prescription treatments may be more effective.
With the right habits, patience, and care, you can reduce body acne and keep your skin clearer.
