How to get rid of body acne?
For some people, acne also manifests itself on the body and this can become a real complex and a daily ordeal.
It is mainly caused by the same factors as facial acne, and may also be genetically predisposed.
A period of particularly high hormonal activity such as adolescence, genetic predisposition, an unsuitable routine, pollution... These are all causes that can lead to an over-production of sebum. This excess sebum will block the pores and thus create inflammation in the form of comedones, papules or pustules. This is acne.
But if we observe it mainly on our face,it can also appear everywhere where sebaceous glands are present. Among the areas affected are the back, arms, legs and butt.
In addition, unlike the face, these areas of the body may be more subject to perspiration and friction. These are important factors in the proliferation of pimples, as the skin will find it difficult to breathe and the irritation will accelerate the appearance of inflammation.
Another factor to consider is the products applied to our skin. Certain products such as shower gels, shampoos and conditioners can be particularly prone to clogging pores if they are not rinsed thoroughly.
✅ We should therefore remember to rinse our skin well, especially the back, and to dry ourselves well to avoid residues of such products.
What routine should be adapted to body acne?
In order to solve this problem, you need a suitable routine that will not clog the pores.
To limit the appearance of pimples, you can applyFesse Time. Originally designed for small pimples on the butt, it is also perfectly suited to problems on the arms, back, legs and décolleté. Its lactic acid content, which allows for a very gentle chemical peel, accelerates cell renewal.
It is also perfectly suited to the problem of keratosis pilaris. Different from acne, it manifests itself by an excess of keratin production in the hair follicles and appears as small pimples giving a "chicken skin" or "strawberry legs" appearance. A moisturiser such as Fesse Time, which has a light peeling action, will help to reduce the appearance of acne.
🧼 You can totally divert the use of Clean that faceour gentle cleanser designed by Valentine to treat facial imperfections and which will also be very effective on the body.
❌ You are also advised toavoid scrubs with too large grains, which could irritate and cause further inflammation.
💧 On a daily basis, we think about moisturising our body with a low fat formula to let the skin breathe: I'm not a mermaid has a gel-cream texture that moisturises without a greasy or sticky finish. A supple and well-moisturized skin is a healthier skin and less prone to acne (like for the face ;-).
🩺 Finally, if the pimples still persist, it may be that your acne cannot be treated without thehelp of a doctor and that it is, for example, severe acne. In this case, do not hesitate to consult a health professional. He or she will be able to offer you suitable solutions, such as formulas based on benzoyl peroxide.
