🧴 1. Cleanse Regularly (Use the Right Wash)
Use a gentle exfoliating body wash with ingredients like: Salicylic acid (BHA): helps dissolve oil and unclog pores. Benzoyl peroxide: kills acne-causing bacteria. Glycolic acid (AHA): removes dead skin buildup. Examples: CeraVe SA Body Wash Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash PanOxyl 4–10% Benzoyl Peroxide Wash
🕒 How often: once daily (or twice if your skin isn’t too sensitive).
🧽 2. Exfoliate Gently (2–3 times a week)
Use a chemical exfoliant (like a body lotion with AHAs or BHAs) instead of harsh scrubs. Avoid rough loofahs or scrubbing too hard — they can irritate and worsen acne.
Good options:
Paula’s Choice BHA Body Lotion The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (on a cotton pad, lightly swipe your back)
🚿 3. Shower After Sweating
Always shower after workouts or sweating — bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments. Change sweaty clothes promptly.
👕 4. Wear Clean, Breathable Clothing
Choose loose, cotton or moisture-wicking fabrics. Avoid tight-fitting clothes and backpacks that trap sweat and oil.
💊 5. Spot Treatments
Apply directly to affected areas:
Salicylic acid gel (2%) Retinoid cream (like adapalene 0.1%) — helps prevent clogged pores and renews skin.
Use at night and follow with a light, oil-free moisturizer.
