Beat body acne: 4 steps to clear skin

Check these out, too...

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.

MOD MOD MOD What acne products are good for combination skin?

Hey girl! A lot of brands actually have products that are specifically made for combination skin. Check your local drugstore for products by Clean & Clear or Neutrogena that are labeled "combination skin"!

I have acne scars on my chin! Is there anyway to get rid of them? I heard it was possible

Hey Chica! Try a face mask every once in a while, you can make them at home too which is a lot of fun, just do it in the bathroom because it can get messy. Try this one: tablespoon each of yogurt, oatmeal and sour cream. Then, add a few drops of lemon juice in it and apply the mixture on face and neck. Rinse it off after about 15 minutes
