How to Get Rid of Body Acne
Out of all the types of acne, body
acne can cause acne sufferers the most heartbreak and embarrassment. It is not
uncommon for people with breakouts on their backs and chests to shy away from
public outings. If you have suffered from body acne, you've probably thought
twice about wearing a strapless dress to a school dance or going shirtless at
the pool. You probably constantly fear that people will notice your acne.
It really doesn't seem fair does
it? As if suffering from acne on your face isn't enough, you also have
breakouts on your back and chest? Skintherapy Skincare and Acne Clinic understands and we want to help you
clear your body acne! We want you to be happy and confident in your own skin
and we have the knowledge on body acne, as well as a successful technique in
clearing breakouts to promise real results. Please read below to see a little
bit about how we help clear client’s skin
when they are suffering from body acne.
What is the first step in
clearing your skin?
Like all acne, understanding the
type of acne that you have on your body is the key to treating it. This is why
it is just as important to work with an Acne Specialist while treating your
body acne as it is when treating the acne on your face.
Once we understand the type of
acne you are suffering from, we start a program of the right amount of
exfoliation and topical antibacterial action to begin the process of preventing
the formation of micro acne lesions.
If you have red body acne that is
painful and pustular, we will start you on a program of less aggressive
exfoliation and more aggressive antibacterial work.
If your body acne is more timid
with a non-inflamed, bumpy texture and lots of build up and blackheads - you
need to be on a program of high exfoliation and less antibacterial work.
Different variations of our scrubs, benzoyl peroxide creams, mandelic serums
and other alpha-hydroxy acids are going to
kick your body acne to the curb. You just need to make sure to use them in the
right way, every morning and evening.
Some extra tips and habits to
help clear body acne.
1.
Make sure you are
washing your shirts and sheets in acne safe detergent like Cheer -Free, Arm and Hammer Free. Detergents that are fragrance free are best.
2.
Wear breathable
fabrics. You want airflow to your problem areas and as little sweat as
possible. (This is especially important while you are sleeping.)
3.
Stay away from whey
or soy protein. We often see inflamed body acne in relation to frequent use of
whey or soy protein shakes and/or steroid use in body builders or athletes.
These products act like hormones in the body and if taken in excess can trigger
acne flare-ups.
Should you be coming in for
professional treatment when fighting your body acne?
Absolutely! We usually see the
best results in our clients after three months of consecutive professional
treatment and consistent use of our topical products. Extractions will absolutely
help clear your body acne!
Remember, body acne can be successfully
cleared by taking the correct steps and using the right products on your chest
or back acne. Come see us at Skintherapy Skincare and Acne Clinic in Salt Lake
City, Utah.
