At some point in our lives, we have experienced having acne, and it’s the worst! Getting rid of acne is another story because there’s a lot of trial and error with acne treatments that work for our skin. My acne horror story was when I got an allergy from a facial I availed in one of the facial centers in the mall. It’s really horrifying for me because I had clear skin since adolescent years and suddenly had acne at my early 20s. I tried various over-the-counter products and my last resort was to consult another dermatologist at an expensive clinic. She gave me a beauty kit along with regular facials and voila, clear skin again. But I have to shell out a significant amount of money before achieving results. Later on, I found out from an officemate who’s also having break outs that she’s using Proactiv to solve her skin problem. She’s very proud to say that Proactiv is very popular among Hollywood celebrities like Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, Avril Lavigne, etc…

I took note of Proactiv and has been under my radar just in case I experience breakouts again. While browsing through Watsons, I just noticed that there’s a New Proactiv available at Watsons. The New Proactiv now contains advanced microcrystal benzoyl peroxide, which is designed to work faster and gentler.

I’m blessed with clear skin even on my puberty days, on my face that is. But as the cliche goes, nobody’s perfect and so is my skin. I had back acne or bacne since high school days. Hence, wearing backless gowns during prom nights is a no-no for me because I’m too conscious with the pimple marks at my back. Years passed and I just carried on with wearing clothes hiding my back, even my swimsuits must be closed at the back part.

how to treat back acne/bacne

Few years ago, I tried several options on how to treat back acne or bacne. I read that scrubbing and exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells and oil build-up at the back. Well, I always use a sponge lily or a loofah when I take a bath so exfoliating is really part of my regimen. I listed other things on how I tackled my bacne problem.

How to treat back acne/bacne:

1. Try having a back facial at a facial salon or spa. Years ago, I tried this service at Forever Flawless and it involves pricking. It hurts but back cleaning helped in drying up the pimples on my back.
2. Back peeling will remove the skin’s outer layer and diminish pimple marks. I also had this service at Forever Flawless, the burning sensation of back peeling made me uncomfortable but the new skin is really a fresh start in maintaining a pimple-free back. The downside of this process is the maintenance phase, you have to repeat the process monthly or whenever necessary.
3. Dry your hair thoroughly after shower and don’t let the excess water drip at your back. This can clog your pores and may result to pimples.
4. Switch to organic shampoo and conditioner. Or you might want to try other brands and hair products. You might be allergic to certain ingredients on your hair products that cause back acne.

I tried all these four ways on treating my bacne but the most successful tip so far is changing my commercial shampoo to organic one, I use Human Heart Nature shampoo and conditioner and zits on my back disappeared. I used Pantene before by the way. So before undergoing expensive treatments for your back acne, try the most simple and inexpensive step first.
