Bacne---seeking Tips and Ideas!

I would go to a dermatologist for sure, it's good to develop an overall skin, hair, nails plan now for the next year (even if you are happy with skin/hair/nails, there is always room for improvement and better to be healthy and happy than stressed as the wedding gets closer). I would switch to a gentle cleansing body wash in the mean time, and make sure to shower at least once a day but also quickly after anything that causes you to sweat (working out, gardening, super hot outside, etc.) so the sweat doesn't just sit on your back. Also shower after you put lotion on your back (massage or whatever) so it doesn't clog up pores. Buying a back brush or body scrubber is great too, it will help exfoliate your back. Wear cotton, breathable clothing. Drink lots of water. Wash pajamas, towels & sheets regularly.

This could be a hormonal imbalance. i live by these supplements called Balance by Alani Nu. It clears up acne (all kinds) and regulates your hormones in your body. It was a saving grace for me!

Hey there! I’ve actually started having the same issue starting a few weeks before I actually got engaged up until now. My back has significantly cleaned up a lot since I’ve been forcing myself to drink water. I was freaking out because when I had went dress shopping I was worried because my dress is pretty much backless and I didn’t want to feel self conscious on my wedding day. Water is the answer. If it doesn’t clear up after a week or so then I would definitely see a dermatologist! Good luck 😘

I highly recommend Paula's Choice Acne Body Spray. It's super effective, but I also love it because you can spray it from literally any angle and the pump will still work.

Panoxy and bio oil worked wonders on my back

My dermatologist suggested using a salicylic acid scrub (doesn't matter the concentration) on my back and chest (NOT on my face!!). It can be a bit drying, so my skin sometimes feels taut, but I haven't had any acne there since!! I would NEVER use the stuff on my face though... I did once on accident and it burned like crazy.

If you like natural stuff I would try 100% African black soap. It works great for acne.
