Don’t Back Out with Bacne. Try these 5 tips from Gail

Bacne that doesn’t go away? Most of us are no strangers to back acne and the struggles that come with it. Bacne is often a nasty combo of whiteheads, blackheads, and even papules that are practically hard to get rid of. But don’t worry because your best friend in beauty and skin care, Gail, is here is to help out. 

Let’s finally zap out those zits and say hello to clear skin with these surely effective tips from Gail. 

1. Check your body soap

Bacne, like the usual acne in any part of your body, is not just because you have oily skin. Acne is caused by bacteria—and your soap may be to blame. Switch to a gentle body wash or soap that has anti-bacterial formula. Also, always make sure to wash and dry your back area properly. 

2. Apply toner on your back, too.

Usually, since your back is hard to reach, it gets neglected when it comes to skincare. But as important as applying your facial post-shower toner, you also need to apply toner on your back too. Look for a toner that contains lavender, which will dry up your zits and provide extra moisture. 

Gail’s personal recommendation is Eminence Lime Refresh Tonique which is rich in vitamin C. This is a spray bottle that you can easily apply to your back or you may also use cotton pads.

3. Avoid Over Exfoliating

While it’s okay to gently exfoliate your body twice a week (not consecutively, of course) overscrubbing will just irritate your skin, and will cause you to break out more.

4. Change your linens and sheets regularly

Aside from regular bathing, maintaining a clean pillowcase, bedsheets, and blankets will also help you a lot in getting rid of bacne. When left unwashed your sheets become a playground for bacteria. It would be ideal to change your sheets once every two weeks (or once a week if you sweat a lot), and use a fragrance-free detergent when washing them.

5. Last but not the least, get back facials.

Yes, you heard it right. If there are facials, there are also back facials which are equally important. If zits are becoming a problem that you absolutely cannot bare your back anymore, get it treated at least once a month.

This back treatment is great for those who are experiencing back blemishes or just needing a great back exfoliation.
