Acne Body Wash:
You can’t use the same acne cleanser that you use on your face as an acne body wash...
could you imagine how many of those little bottles or tubes you need to use as a body acne wash? You'd need a to get a second job to pay for the stuff.
There are products and treatments out there that are specific to treating body acne or bacne.
body acne'what a pain' more of an embarrassment than pain I guess.
Even though we had a great in ground swimming pool while growing up I didn't use it most of the tie because I had back acne. Sometimes if it was really hot I would go swimming with a tee shirt on to hide my body acne.
Have you ever avoided swimming in public because of body acne? So you know where I'm coming from right?
Get this though, know that you're not alone. So many many people have acne on their bodies some in more embarrassing places than their backs. Second, be happy because there are lots of ways you can get rid of bacne. We have plenty of sponsor's links right on this web site some that even offer free trials.
Find the right solution for YOU and viola' you'll be taking your shirt off in public in no time!
One of cheapest products that I learned can help body acne is dishwashing soap. Okay, stop laughing... it's true. I've learned that quite a few people are using dishwashing soap as a body acne treatment.
Specifically the dishwashing soap that says that it's is antibacterial.
Think about it... kitchens are full of bacteria and germs... which we all try to avoid by using a good dishwashing soap. Studies have shown that blemishes occur from bacteria that our skin is exposed to so why not clean it like we do our dishes!
So why does it work for some folks?
Most dishwashing soaps include a chemical called Triclosan....which is an antibiotic! Give it a try. Now if you feel strange bringing a bottle of liquid dawn in the shower with you, stick with a liquid soap for your acne skin care anyway.
A bar of soap itself can be fuel for bacteria but the real culprit is the residue that a bar of soap leaves behind. The residue left on your skin is conductive to bacterial growth which we now know leads to.... yup, acne.
So that's why you see so many over the counter acne products that come in liquid form. So pass on the bar and bring on the liquids when it comes to a good acne wash.
Still not convinced enough to try a simple solution? Another anti-bacterial solution... Benzoyl Peroxide.
Benzoyl Peroxide is the active ingredient in a number of successful acne products. It's a chemical that is used for it's anti-bacterial effects' see a trend happening here. Some of the most effective types of treatment for body acne is one that will wash away the bacteria on your skin. Another quality of Benzoyl Peroxide is that it will dry the surface of the skin and wash oil and debris away.
Two things to note when considering products with Benzoyl Peroxide; some people are sensitive to the stuff, it can make your skin red and even burn. Be sure to test a small amount before using it all over. Second, it can bleach your clothes. If your putting some on your back or butt, let it dry before putting your clothes on. A good time to apply the treatment is after you get out of the shower.
Now that you understand the importance of bacterial cleanser for your skin, you’ll probably approach buying a acne body wash with a new mindset.
