Acne Treatment

Back Acne Treatment

Back acne treatment is prevalent and often harder than facial acne. The back is made up of thousands of sebaceous glands that produce excess levels of oil making this area more susceptible to the formation of cysts and nodules.

A common problem with treating back acne is the difficulty in reaching areas where the pimples may form. As with the face, harsh acne agents are not recommended since they can dry and irritate the skin. Instead, Witch Hazel can be used to enhance your daily cleaning routine since it also reduces inflammation and its astringent properties help skin tissue regenerate.

One of the most simple back acne treatments is using an acne cleanser on a daily basis. When washing use a loofah or exfoliant to help remove any dead skin cells, as these can clog up your pores, resulting in blemishes. Don't be too harsh though, as you don't want to aggravate the skin. When using a specific acne treatment cleanser, try to use it only on the affected areas otherwise you'll unnecessarily dry out your skin.
