Body Acne Article
Just wrote another skin care article. This one is about back and body acne - the causes, how it differs from facial acne, and how to treat it effectively. For those of you who have already visited our guide to getting rid of back and body acne on the site (under the clear skin guides link on the front page), there will not be that much new information, but it’s all nicely packed in there for people that have never strolled by here, and maybe a few of them will pay a visit after they read it.
One of the great benefits of vitamin B5 acne treatment is simply that it treats acne all over your body at once. Even if you do manage to find a topical acne product that works for your skin, hardly anyone can go through the trouble of treating an area such as their back with a cleanser, toner, and lotion (multiple times a day!). And even if they could, the thicker skin on your back and shoulders is going to be much more resistant to these treatments. They have acne body sprays and washes now, but I’ve yet to see anything that offers a real benefit above your average, normal body wash - and the most effective topical treatment, benzoyl peroxide, is simply not a viable alternative since it would bleach all your clothes!
Without a doubt, internal treatments are the way to go for treating and preventing back and body acne. Just make sure that you’re exfoliating properly to get rid of your current spots as fast as possible, because pimples can stay in the thick skin of your back for quite a long time if you don’t do anything about it; and as effective as B5 is, it helps more with prevention than with killing off current blemishes, so get yourself a good back scrubber if you need one.
