Acne is not only found on the face; it also appears to be common on the back. Genetics, hormones, and the most common cause of back acne is clogging of skin pores by dead skin cells or particles from the environment.

Get Rid of Back Acne

1. Wear Lose Clothing
Don't wear clothes that are too tight, making it hard for your skin to breathe. Especially in a sweaty state, loose clothing can minimize the effects of irritation on the skin and the buildup of bacteria on the skin.

2. Tie Up Your Hair
For women, long hair that covers the back can cover the back skin and trap dirt and dust. When this left unchecked, it can be the cause of back acne, especially if your hair is dirty. For that reason, put your hair in a ponytail and don't forget to wash your hair enough to keep your hair clean.

3. Shower Immediately After Exercising
After finishing a workout, don’t wait for hours until your sweat dries to take a shower. This habit can cause bacteria and sweat to accumulate in your pores, which is a major cause of back acne! Another tip: after cleansing your skin, you can exfoliate. Regular exfoliation can prevent and eliminate back or body acne. Gentle exfoliation can also help make your skin cleaner and brighter by removing the buildup of dead skin cells.

4. Use Specially Formulated Soap
Using specially formulated soaps or special ingredients will definitely help eradicate inflamed back acne. Try using Zen Antibacterial Soap. The natural ingredients of Japanese Red Shiso in it is an excellent combination for skin prone to irritation, itching, and is very good for treating back and body acne. For exfoliation, Zen also has a very suitable variant, namely Zen Antibacterial Red Shiso and Sea Salt. The content of sea salt (sodium, magnesium, minerals) in it helps remove dead skin cells, dust, and pollution which helps reduce the cause of back acne.
