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 have a party tonight and i have dozens of bug bites that are open and some aren't
but how do I either cover up or get rid of them??
By the way im pale so if that helps with covering them up...
Please help me as soon as possible thank you so muchhhSmile

 

Hey girl! Unfortunately, bug bits don't go away until they are good and ready.  Focus on covering them with clothes- wear jeans if they are on your legs or a cute sweater if they are on your torso or arms.  Good luck! xoxo

I think i might be getting my period soon. I have hair down there, and im getting healthy discharge. Im also at the age my mom got her period. Is it coming soon? In months or days

 

hey! everyone's different and this sort of thing is impossible to predict. You certainly have symptoms so it could be any time.

2 things,
1. I am starting a new school on the 23rd, and I have to learn Spanish in time for that! they even TEACH the class in Spanish! at my old school, you could pick what you learned, and i always learned french! how on earth will i master a language, in a little over two weeks?!
2. I REALLY want to start a sport at my new school! at first i would get really tired and breath weird after just like running down the street! i thought i was just out of shape so i was working out a lot but then my mom told me i have exercise end used asthma! i can even run like two feet! Help me!!

 

Hey chica! You won't have to master the language.  Your school wouldn't place you in an advanced class without any experience in the language, so don't worry about being fluent.  Instead, head to a bookstore and flip through a basic language guide for Spanish.  Get to know a couple useful phrases "How are you?" and how to say your name.  If you are really struggling in class, go to the teacher and tell him or her that you have only taken French- they may help you out by giving you extra exercises to do.  As for your other problem- I think you mean exercise induced asthma, which is when working out makes it hard for your lungs to do their job.  It's the sort of thing that you need to head to the doctor for, so talk to your mom about getting an inhaler or something to help your breathing. xoxo

i get coldsores every couple months or so and i got one yesterday and i have picture day for school in 2 days! how can i get rid of it or make it less visible? preferably at home/diy treatments! thanks!

 

Hey girlie! I don't know any at home treatments for cold sores, I just know there is medicine to speed up their healing (check at the nearest drugstore).  For now, leave it alone and don't pick at it- that'll only make it worse! xoxo

1. I ws looking in the mirror yesterday and I realizd my ribs were visible trough my skin. Is that bad?
2. I spent all of last week hanging in the pool. I think i might have gotten some chlorine "down there" Is that a problem?
3. There's a strong possibility I might have scoliosis. Are there any sports that help scoliosis feel better?

 

Hey girl!

1. It's not bad that your ribs are visible through your skin. If you're eating a healthy diet and exercising it's OK. 2. Just make sure you're cleaning your "down there" area in the shower so there's no chlorine remnants, but I'm sure it's totally fine. 3. I'm not sure that there's any sports that make scoliosis better. I think you should have a doctor check it out to see if you really do have it. Many people have less severe scoliosis that doesn't affect their lives or ability to play sports.
