Skincare Beauty Tip

Back breakouts



Back breakoutsIf you tend to get acne on your back in the summer, try using your facial sunscreen on your back instead of your regular body product.

Facial sunscreens are lighter, less irritating, and less likely to clog pores compared to heavier body sunscreens.

its wrong to not use sunscreen. you have to use sunscreen daily before 1/2 hr whenever you going out. but yes if you have a problem of ache you shd go for check - up or you should you synscreen which is for oily skin.

i say that u should buy a Neutrogena soap bar and use it when you shower to ensure that ur body is pimple free. that's what i've been using and mi skin is pretty clear.

Sounds like an allergy. Are you using anything new on your skin? laundry detergent or lotion or body wash?

i have!all you do is use facial creams on your arms such as a toner a cleanser and a moistouriser there not as strong as body products&also open the pores cleans them owt and closes them so more dirt cant get them in i got rid of them in like 2 to 3 weeks!

I have neutrogena body clear body wash. I've used both the one with and without the microbeads. I would put it on a loofah and wash my back with it. Right now I just use tea tree oil soap on a loofah to scrub my whole body and I havent seen a pimple in ages

hey guys, well i had a few pimples on my back but everytime i got in the shower i would get a really hard hairbrush and scrub really hard all over my back in the affected areas- it unblocked all my clogged pores (that lead up to pimples)- and it helped heaps. i did it around every second day- so try it and tell me how it works..it worked for me!

i have REALLY bad acne on my back winter and summer. its probably because i do school sports (and exercise, of course) and i'm always sweaty afterwards. do ya'll know some home-remidies or something? :(
(no idea spelling that word...)
