WHY AM I GETTING ACNE ON MY BODY? DECODING BODY ACNE 101

While acne is a skin issue that we have all experienced at some point in our lives, it may leave us feeling uncomfortable sometimes. This is not just limited to our faces, but can also

be present in other regions of our bodies such as the back, chest, arms, and other locations.

We will try to conceal it or cover it with clothes, but that doesn't fix the problem! We are here to guide you and hold your hand every step of the way to solve this problem. Continue reading to find out!What Are the Causes of Body Acne? How Is It Different From Facial Acne?

The primary cause of any type of acne is dirt and oil clogging the pores. Body acne can be triggered by the same factors that trigger facial acne.

Overactive oil glands, excess dead skin cells, and acne-causing bacteria can lead to breakouts anywhere on the body.1

Because the skin on our bodies is thicker than the skin on our faces, it is more difficult to cure body acne. It will be easier to find a solution if you understand the root cause of any issue.

Some of the most common reasons are listed below:

1. HORMONES

Even minor changes in your hormonal system can have a significant impact on your skin. Your body changes throughout puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy. The arms and back have hyperactive pores, causing thicker, oilier sweat, which can be the first cause of acne.

2. CLOTHING

Tight-fitting clothing and sweaty workout clothes can trap oil and dirt in the skin and create friction. This compromises the skin's barrier, allowing germs to enter and causing irritation, which leads to acne.

3. ENVIRONMENT

Those who live in humid climates with high levels of pollution are more prone to body acne.

City people are subjected to dust, pollution, and debris, which settles on the skin and clogs the pores.

During the winter, your skin may become dry and flaky, prompting your body to create extra oil. This can trap dead skin cells, causing them to cling together in the pores.

4. DANDRUFF

Dandruff is caused by Oleic acid, which is created by bacteria that feed on the oils produced by your scalp. This causes dead skin cells to collect and fall to the surface of your back as hardened flakes. Though acne and dandruff develop for different reasons, it is common for many people to have both issues at the same time.

AVOID THESE THINGS TO PREVENT ACNE ON YOUR BODY

Picking, popping, or squeezing can create scars that will not fade for the rest of your life. Instead, use topical treatments like Salicylic Acid or Glycolic Acid, which chemically exfoliate the skin. This will help to clean up congested pores, giving you clearer, more vibrant skin.

Spot treatments and formulas like Retinol and Benzoyl peroxide work best 15 minutes after washing your body. This will minimize the sensitivity of your skin and allow you to regulate the pH levels.

When we shower, we overlook certain parts of the back because they are difficult to reach. As a result, residues of body wash or hair products may accumulate on the skin's surface.

Excess dirt and residue can be cleaned using a body sponge or back scrub.

Using sunscreen helps to strengthen our skin barriers and prevent inflammation.

Tips to prevent body acne

1. CLEAN YOUR BODY REGULARLY

2. USING A BODY SCRUB

3. DO NOT SKIP MOISTURISER

4. OPT FOR SPOT TREATMENT

5. REVAMP YOUR WARDROBE

6. KEEP YOUR HAIR OFF YOUR BACK

BODY ACNE SPRAYS

Acne sprays have been developed to erase or decrease the symptoms of stubborn acne! They help to prevent acne outbreaks in hard-to-reach places by gently exfoliating to remove dead skin cells as well as pore-clogging dirt and oil. Choose cruelty-free acne sprays with a quick-drying product.

SALICYLIC ACID 2% ACNE BODY SPRAY - BACK AND BODY ACNE MIST is an easy to use body spray with 2% Salicylic Acid, Green Tea Extract,Olive Leaf Extract, Panthenol.

Salicylic acid gently exfoliates and unclogs pores with its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

This acne spray with a combination of bioactives also helps reduce red spots and inflammation, as well as calming sensitive skin.

Summary

Back acne is quite common. Showering after a workout is helpful for treating back acne since it is often caused by friction or sweating. Avoid using harsh scrubs. Instead, gently wash the affected area with an acne-specific cleanser. In addition, you can use acne body sprays or spot treatments with salicylic acid or glycolic acid.

SALICYLIC ACID VS. BENZOYL PEROXIDE: WHICH IS BETTER FOR ACNE?

The moment you start searching for skincare products for acne-prone skin, you get overwhelmed with the choices. But then you get burdened with questions like, "are all the products worth it?" Or, are you choosing the right product according to your skin type? And so on.

We have come up with answers that will solve all your queries and let you understand the most effective ingredient used for treating acne and its after-effects.

In this context, salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are the most popular ingredients used for fighting acne. They are easily available over the counter and provide promising results in clearing mild acne while preventing future breakouts.

The Benefits of Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide

There are several benefits associated with the use of these ingredients.

Primarily, these ingredients help exfoliate your skin by removing dead skin cells that cause acne by clogging your skin pores.

Furthermore, salicylic acid works best for whiteheads and blackheads and prevents future comedones' formation.

In contrast, benzoyl peroxide works best on red, pus-filled acne, also called pustules. These ingredients not only remove excess oil and dead cells, but also kill the acne-causing bacteria that lie beneath your skin.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH INGREDIENT IS BEST FOR YOUR SKIN?

Both these ingredients provide positive results in treating acne. However, you’ll need to consider a few factors before claiming one of them to be the best. So, before you choose any of these ingredients for your skin problem, keep the following factors in mind.

TYPE OF ACNE

If you have blackheads or whiteheads, salicylic acid would be best suited. On the other hand, benzoyl peroxide is best for treating mild and severe acne types like mild pustules or pus-filled acne.

SEVERITY OF BREAKOUT

BOTH THESE INGREDIENTS ARE USED FOR MILD ACNE, AND IT MIGHT TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO SEE THE RESULTS. IT MAY TAKE SIX WEEKS TO SEE THE NOTICEABLE RESULTS.

ACTIVITY LEVEL

If you remain over-active throughout the day and sweat a lot, you should use salicylic acid. This is because benzoyl peroxide might start bleeding with sweat and stain your clothes in the middle of the day.

OVERALL, SKIN HEALTH

If you have sensitive skin and are allergic to new products, you should choose salicylic acid as it is milder than its counterpart. As a result, it won’t aggravate the skin issues you are already facing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c90pd4e6HE4

UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS

If you are suffering from any underlying disease, like kidney or liver disease, you should consult your doctor before using them. Although these items are available over the counter, you should not just buy and use them, especially when battling other medical conditions.

HOW TO USE : SALICYLIC ACID AND BENZOYL PEROXIDE

SALICYLIC ACID

Most salicylic acid creams, astringents, washes, and other over-the-counter products have concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 5%.You could choose a product in different concentrations depending on your skin condition. Furthermore, because of its gentle nature, you can use salicylic acid two times a day or even one more time during the mid-day.

BENZOYL PEROXIDE

If you are new to benzoyl peroxide, you should start with a 2.5 percent concentration and then move up to 5 percent. Since you are new and you don’t know how your skin would react to this ingredient, you should first begin by applying it once a day.

You can start with a gentle wash, and once you complete the first six weeks, you can move ahead to using a gel-based version for enhanced results. However, if you aren’t able to see any noticeable results in six weeks, you should switch to a product with a 10% concentration.

PRO-TIP

Never use benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid in every product in your skincare routine. For instance, if your cream has one of these ingredients, make sure your face wash, toner, etc., does not include it. If you include these ingredients in large quantities, your skin may get dry and flaky, worsening the condition even more.

Also, always wear your sunscreen because sun damage can worsen your acne.

Therefore, salicylic acid is mild and can suit all skin types. Therefore, you can choose the salicylic acid face wash for acne anytime and apply it continuously for six weeks. Salicylic acid face wash works wonders, even for sensitive skin, and doesn't cause any skin irritation.

HOW TO DEAL WITH PERIOD ACNE

Something that most women can relate to is that during their menstrual cycle, we have to deal with a mix of moods, crave food, and get irritated by the slightest of matters. Furthermore, we have acne that pops up the moment your period is on its way.

Is there something hidden behind pimples that suddenly pop up during my period? Let's delve further.

Just before your period starts, the levels of oestrogen and progesterone hormones drop. The testosterone hormones, which are always constant, show a higher number as the rest of the female sex hormones tend to fall. This causes more sebum production and clogged pores, leading to a rise in inflammation. This process leads to acne.

Skincare Products That Help Combat Period Acne

Benzoyl Peroxide:

Benzoyl peroxide is especially effective for inflammatory acne, characterized by red bumps containing pus (pustules, papules, cysts, and nodules) rather than whiteheads and blackheads. Benzoyl peroxide treats and prevents acne by killing bacteria beneath the skin and aiding the pores in shedding dead skin cells and excess oil.

Numerous acne treatment products contain benzoyl peroxide. Choosing the best one for your skincare according to your needs and preferences is critical just like choosing between lotions, gels, or facewash having the right concentration.

Choose the concentration based on your skin type. On the safer side, always start with a lower concentration so that even if your skin is sensitive, it won't be affected.

Some people can tolerate benzoyl peroxide products with a high percentage of benzoyl peroxide (up to 10%) on their skin. Others could probably prefer proportion.

The concentration to use is also determined by where the benzoyl peroxide is applied. The face is more sensitive and many people use a lower concentration (around 4%), whereas the chest and back are more resilient and can tolerate a greater concentration.

Salicylic Acid:

Acne is primarily caused by excessive sebum production. Therefore, excessive sebum production in your skin can clog your pores and aggravate acne.

As a skincare treatment, salicylic acid reduces and controls sebum production. Excess sebum production is caused by dehydrated and flaking skin as a way of compensating for a lack of hydration. This happens when you use harsh face washes that remove all the oil and leave the skin extremely dry.

Azelaic Acid:

Azelaic acid has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to treat skin conditions such as acne and rosacea. It is a chemical exfoliant that works similarly to other highly regarded chemical exfoliants such as glycolic acid. It eliminates the top layer of dead skin cells, boosting cell turnover and preventing blocked pores.

It also enhances skin health and decreases the likelihood of acne formation noticeably.

This acid also conceals keratin. Keratin is a protein that is found in the skin, hair, and nails. It protects the skin and is ultimately beneficial; however, when too much keratin is formed, it piles up on the skin and blocks pores, leading to breakouts.

Retinoids:

Much in the same way, topical retinoids help reduce sebum secretion. One needs to take care of the concentration in which they use retinoids, as higher concentrations result in heavy peeling and redness. When you start using retinoids on your skin, you may experience temporary redness or peeling, and your acne may worsen. The period of adjustment, known as retinization, is perfectly normal. While this may appear to be a drawback, it is only temporary until your skin adjusts to it.

The key is to incorporate retinoids into your routine gradually. Begin by using it 2-3 times per week until your skin develops a tolerance. It is best to apply retinoid at night, regardless of the type. Wear sunscreen during the day because your skin will be more sun-sensitive.

Should You Take Care of Your Diet During Your Period?

Although skincare works great during periods, nothing could be as potent as having it function from within.

There is a conflict if chocolate is good or bad during the period. Doctors say that pure dark chocolate is rich in polyphenols that nourish the body during periods of weakness as compared to chocolates that are saturated with sugar and cause acne. Dark chocolates with a cocoa content of at least 65 percent are usually what you're looking for. Sugar prevents all white blood cells from working against bacteria for at least two hours, during which time the bacteria that cause acne on the skin multiply rapidly.

While on your period, significantly reduce your consumption of alcoholic beverages. The loss of blood at this time lowers your blood pressure, making you more susceptible to the side effects of alcohol. It also worsens fatigue and increases menstrual flow.

The natural sugars found in melons and figs may satisfy cravings for something sweet. Furthermore, these fruits are high in vitamins that can help with bloating. Watermelon has high water content and can help keep your body and skin hydrated, reducing clogged pores.

We can understand the pain that every woman goes through during her period. Here are some tips from us to have a better period in your next cycle.
