In this article we will discuss what’s causing clogging, blackheads and acne breakouts on the body and tips to help you clear the acne fast. It is very important to address the problem quickly before the acne can cause sca rring on the skin.

 

What Causes Body Acne?

 

Some people with oily skin can get blocked pores which leads to clogging and blackheads. If you have an area that is rough and bumpy with clogging and blackheads this area is more prone to breakouts. The clogged pores can erupt under the skin causing skin infection which leads to the acne pimples.  The other type of pimples people can get are deep, cystic, painful lesions that appear almost over night and take a long time to clear. These type of lesions are usually the result of some internal imbalance. It can be due to stress or hormones or food intolerances to dairy or gluten.

 

What is the best body wash for acne on the back and the chest?

 

If you suffer with clogging, blackheads, infected pimples, or deep cystic lesions, one of the best products you can use in the shower to help to treat and get rid of acne fast is the Sothys Glysalac skin prep.  This Cleanser has a combination of glycolic and salicylic acid which help to remove the clogging from the pores and reduce inflammation associated with acne. It is essentially an exfoliating antibacterial anti-inflammatory cleanser which you can use on your face or even on your body. Apply a small amount directly on dry skin to affected areas of the body. Leave to work for five minutes before stepping in the shower and rinsing off. If you use conditioners in your hair, these can be responsible for some of the clogging on your skin. After rinsing the hair conditioner from your hair, cleanse your skin again with the Sothys Glysalac skin prep to remove the conditioner from the skin.

To clear acne on your body you need to treat the existing clogging blackheads and pimples as well as prevent the breakouts from coming back.

Take Charge of Your Skin Health

 

If you suffer from cystic acne try and find out what’s causing it and keep a diary. Monitor your mood and the food you eat to see which ones trigger the breakouts. Hormonal cycles, times of stress and foods that contain dairy and gluten may be some of the culprits. Find out which of these is causing a breakout and try to limit or eliminate them.

 

If it is a hormonal cycle perhaps you need to speak to your naturopath to help balance your hormones naturally. If it is stress that’s causing you to breakout, you need to adopt stress management techniques such as meditation, exercise, more sleep, and recreational activities that help you relax.

 

Dairy is the most prevalent cause of acne, so try to eliminate it from your diet. There are many yummy alternatives to dairy such as coconut yoghurt, almond milk, and coconut ice cream. Gluten can affect the gut which can then, in turn, affect the skin and cause breakouts. There are many great gluten-free foods available in your supermarket.
