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!
Okay so I naturally have dry skin ever since I can remember. I use lotions that have really improved my skin. But an area I can't exactly reach is my scalp/: It's dry but it's not terrible like how most people automatically would think it is. Yes, I've tried a bunch of different shampoos (including a ton of Head and Shoulders!) %or a few years now but they are barely affective. What should I do?

Hey girlie! Just like you use a moisturizer on your face, you should use one on your scalp. Get a hair treatment like Coconut oil (you can get it at health food stores) and massage it into your scalp half an hour before you wash your hair. Then, once your in the shower, make sure you get it all out of your hair with shampoo (so it doesn't look greasy). xoxo

i have some advice for anyone struggling with acne. (i know i do.)
lately i've discovered that vitamin d is a good cure for acne. so things like milk, sunlight, and even supplements like i'm taking can help acne. it's worked for me, and i thought i should pass it along. hope it helps anyone who reads this.
