Though we often think of acne breakouts as a facial issue, for those who struggle with blemishes on other parts of their body, such as backs, neck, thighs, or buttocks, they know all too well how frustrating this can be. Regardless of where a blemish occurs, the same solutions that apply for breakouts occurring on your face apply from the neck down, too:
- Do not use bar soap or cleansers–the ingredients in bar cleansers can clog pores
- Do not use abrasive body scrubs (acne cannot be scrubbed away)
- Use a gentle cleanser that’s water soluble
- Apply a well formulated exfoliant with salicylic acid to acne and breakout-prone areas
- Follow the exfoliant with a topical disinfectant that contains benzoyl peroxide
