Beat body acne: 4 steps to clear skin

 
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.

Hey girl!  If there's nothing wrong with the comment, we'll just post it back up.  People accidentally hit "report" way more than they actually need to report something.  Don't worry about it! xoxo

School is starting in about 20 days and I have really bad acne. I have tried everything. I have used over the counter salicylic acid and benzyl peroxide stuff but nothing works. Its not just bad looking but it hurts alot too, like i cant mwrinkle my face or talk without hurting. Is there any thing I can do? I want to look and feel better by school. Also I have a pimple in my nose. How do i get rid of it?

 

Hey girl! If your acne is super painful (including the pimple on your nose), it's time to start talking to your parents about seeing a dermatologist.  They can prescribe you stuff that can help your skin.  You might also want to try products like AcneFree or ProActiv, which are both strong ance fighters.  xoxo

If you’re on a diet and you’re really, really craving something, go ahead and eat it. You’ll be able to reinforce your diet longer if you don’t view it as oppressive.
