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.

I have stretch marks around my hips. They're pinkish-red in color. DOes this mean anything? Also my friend has some on her thighs, that are close to purple. Is this bad? Thanks




Hey girlie,

Nope, not bad at all! Stretch marks are totally normal - and you have them because your body has grown fast in a short amount of time. (Hello, growth spurts!) Check out this article for more info <3

I really need tampons. I do a lot of sports and pads are uncomfortable and make.me stressabout leaking. My mom always says no though... she says just get ones that are bigger and learn to put them on. And when you have swim just sit out. Well sitting out is embarrassing because there are boys there. She seems pretty firm even when I ask like an adult. She says your sisters didn't.wear them until they were 16 and they were athletic to. And of course my sister backs her up because she doesnt want better for.meFrown help!!!

 

Hey girl! I'm sure your mom and sister are just trying to help.  Explain to them that sitting out isn't really an option for you and even though your sisters waited, you think you're ready.  If she stays firm about it, you'll have to either wait until she's okay with it or buy tampons on your own and use them when you have practice.  xoxo
