What causes back acne, or backne? 

• Hormones

• Sweats

• Genetics

• Reactions to certain medicines

Putting aside genetics, bacne generally forms when there‘s a high concentration of oil-glands that would eventually form little red bumps on your back. If you’re facing a similar problem, don't despair. A change in lifestyle or body products can easily combat backne. 

1. When You Shower, Cleanse Your Body Last.

If you cleanse your body first before washing your hair, the remnants of the shampoo and other hair products could still linger on your skin which would eventually cause backne.

2. Use A Gentle Exfoliating Scrub

Find products that contain AHA or BHA, top chemical exfoliation ingredients that will help to eradicate backne while also ensuring that your back remains scar-free. 

3. Use Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is one of the best topical treatments for backne. Just rub it all over your back and let it sit for five to ten minutes before showering it off. 

4. Shower Immediately After A Workout

If you exercise regularly, it's better to get rid of all that sweat immediately after your session. Trapped sweat could seep into pores, and the next thing you know— you've got backne. 

4. Use Chandrika Ayurvedic Soap 

This RM2 soap from Shopee is apparently very effective in treating back acne, according to online reviews. Some even mentioned that it calms down their eczema and other skin allergies. Worth a try, no?
