Beat body acne: 4 steps to clear skin

 

Check these out, too...

  • Your easiest morning skincare routine--found!
  • Your 5-minute nighttime skincare routine
  • Ew, I have little bumps on my arms!
  • The $1 tinted moisturizer we can't live without
  • Fast fixes: 3 products that'll fix your blemish overnight
Pimples on your back, chest and shoulders can make ya’ want to hide in long-sleeved shirts—even when the temps soar during the summer months. Here’s how to say goodbye to body acne and hello to sundresses and tank tops…

 

Choose the right body wash

An exfoliating body wash will cast away dead skin, which can trap bacteria. If your acne is mild, look for a wash with salicylic acid as the active ingredient. If your acne is more severe, look for a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide.
Our pick? Oxy Acne Solutions Hydrating Body Wash ($4, drugstores)


Moisturize

I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but applying a light moisturizer will help. When your skin is too dry, your body produces extra oil that can clog your pores.
Our pick? Burt’s Bees Natural Acne Solutions Daily Moisturizing Lotion ($11, drugstores)

 

Change your sheets

Acne causing bacteria can gather on your sheets and pillowcases if you don’t wash them often enough. Try washing them every week.

 

Don’t work out in tight clothes

Tight clothes trap bacteria against your skin, causing blemishes. Try working out in loose t-shirts instead of super-tight tanks. Also, be sure to change out of your workout clothes as soon as you are finished.

I know this isn't really on topic but lately I've been having really chapped and red mouth area and I don't know how to get rid of it.

 

Hey! apply chapstick constantly. even if you feel like it's not helping just keep applying it, and don't rub or irritate your already chapped lips. good luck!

i've had acne for over three years now, it used to be just on my fore head but now its on my shoulders, the tops of my arms, my cheeks, infront of my ears, on my nose.. i just want it to go away, my problem is i have oily skin but i also have dry skin. im not sure what to do because over the last 3 years i've tried so much stuff, eating healthy fruits and veggies that help your skin, not eating chocolate for three months, going outside less, taking showers every day, and they sometimes work for a little bit but then i get new zits and their starting to be really big and hurt, it just so hard to remember to do that stuff every day please help me!! i want to FINNALLY have a clear face!

 

Hey girly, I see that this must be pretty frustrating. Some simple acne tips: keep fingers, hair products and hair away from your face. Wash your pillow case regularly and throw out old makeup. Check this article  for when to trash old makeup http://www.girlslife.com/print/2012/10/18/Clear-skin-patrol-Time-to-toss-trashed-makeup.aspx

Wash your face everyday wish a face wash, not a body bar. I like neutrogena. And always wash makeup off before you go to bed. You already seemed to try a lot of things, so you might want to ask a parent about talking to a dermatologist (skin doctor) Your doc will be able to prescribe something for your skin or even give you free samples so you can see if a medicen works before you buy it. Good luck babe. I hope this works for you. xoxo

My aunt is getting married within a week and I got this huge, painful cold sore! and this isn't the first time, i get them alot! whats a quick and easy way to get rid of um?!? and i mean FAST!!!!

 

Hey girlie, there are a lot of over the counter medicines for cold sores. They're supposed to get rid of cold sores in a couple days. And if you get them a lot it's probably good to have something on hand.
