Hair and Beauty Tips

We typically don’t worry as much about back acne as we do about facial acne. Throw on a shirt and your problem is solved! Until summer rolls around and it is pool and beach time. It is then that back acne can cause the same uncomfortable feelings as facial acne. Let’s take a look at what causes back acne and a few simple steps you can take to prevent it.

The causes of back acne - or “bacne” - are pretty much similar to
what causes pimples to emerge on other parts of the body. The back is
filled with sebaceous glands, which secrete a kind of oil called sebum.
If excessive amounts of this oil are produced and not removed
immediately, the pores and the hair follicles on a person’s back will
become clogged, which then encourages bacteria to attack and inflame
skin tissue. Back acne is the result of this.

There are steps you can take to prevent back acne. These include making sure that your back is kept clean and free of dead cells. Exfoliation and bathing regularly are also important. Try your best to keep your skin free from sweat. We don’t hesistate to wipe sweat from our face, however we often don’t think of doing so to our back, or chaning a shirt soaked in sweat as soon as possible.
