It\u2019s also tricky to treat, since the causes of body acne can be different than facial acne. Plus, you may be experiencing a different type of acne on your body, which requires a separate playbook.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling with body acne, NYC-based cosmetic dermatologist<a href=\"https:\/\/www.michelegreenmd.com\/\"> Mic<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michelegreenmd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">h<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michelegreenmd.com\/\">ele Green, MD<\/a>, is here to show us how to handle it if and when it rises to the surface. Below, you\u2019ll learn what causes body acne and how to get rid of body acne.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-causes-body-acne\">What Causes Body Acne?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>While acne is most common on the face, it can also appear on other parts of the body, including the back, chest, shoulders,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/butt-care-anal-health\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> and butt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>As Dr. Green explains, \u201cThe area of the body affected by acne is determined by the location of your sebaceous glands,\u201d which are responsible for producing sebum.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Sebum is the wax-like substance responsible for keeping your skin moisturized\u2014yet it&#8217;s also a major cause of breakouts. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/double-cleansing-benefits\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">If you produce too much sebum<\/a>, your pores become clogged with bacteria and excess dead skin cells, resulting in pimples,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>While genetic factors play a role as well, Dr. Green says that certain daily habits and lifestyle conditions can also cause or aggravate body acne, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/foods-to-avoid-for-clear-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diet<\/a><\/li><li>Stress<\/li><li>Hygiene<\/li><li>Clothing choices<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Additionally,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/vitamins-for-hormonal-imbalance\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> hormonal fluctuations<\/a> are often at play when it comes to flare-ups on both your body and face. (If you\u2019re wondering what causes body acne in adults, hormones play a huge role.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"a88b76\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #a88b76;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/body-acne-treatments-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Woman washing her back in the shower with the best body acne treatments\" class=\"wp-image-25626 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-rid-of-body-acne\">How to Get Rid of Body Acne<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how to treat body acne, we have answers. One or all of the above factors could be contributing to your body acne, but \u00a0If you\u2019re not able to pinpoint an exact cause, it&#8217;s best to address it with a holistic plan. (Or make an appointment with a dermatologist, as you might be dealing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/fungal-acne\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">fungal acne<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, Dr. Green says that the five tips and body acne treatments below can help manage those breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-create-a-consistent-body-care-routine\">1. Create a Consistent Body Care Routine<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Just as you should wash your face daily, the same is true of your body. Dr. Green says that creating a targeted body care routine (similar to a facial skincare routine) can help. Sadly, applying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-use-retinol\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">retinol<\/a> or an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/overnight-beauty-treatments\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">overnight beauty treatment<\/a> once won\u2019t transform your skin. That\u2019s because products often need time to cause change. It can take a few weeks to see actual results from your skincare routine (more if you\u2019re using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-use-retinol\/\">retinol<\/a>), which is why it\u2019s so important to stick with it. Think of it like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/12-3-30-workout\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">working out<\/a>: You\u2019re only going to see real changes if you stay consistent with your workouts over a longer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/this-is-what-your-period-is-saying-about-your-health\/\">period<\/a> of time.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-use-the-right-ingredients-to-clear-skin\">2. Use the Right Ingredients to Clear Skin<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>When building your routine, you\u2019ll want to implement the best treatments and ingredients for body acne.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou should cleanse your skin using a non-comedogenic cleanser containing glycolic acid or salicylic acid,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cAfter cleansing, towel-dry your body with a clean towel and apply a moisturizer containing salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or glycolic acid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Beyond those three powerhouse ingredients, she says that antibacterials like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/plant-based-skincare-swaps\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> tea tree oil<\/a> and topical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/zinc-benefits\/\">zinc<\/a> can also help.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Adding an exfoliant into the routine once or twice a week can also help. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/physical-vs-chemical-exfoliation\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">Using an exfoliant regularly<\/a> will keep the skin healthy and unclog the pores, [reducing] the formation of whiteheads, blackheads, and pustules on the body,\u201d she shares.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Invest in a body acne wash (like a benzoyl peroxide-based formula) to help fight breakout-causing bacteria and keep your skin clear. Additionally, adding a retinol to your routine can seriously improve your acne\u2014it just takes about six weeks to see results, so stick with it!<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-supplement-your-skincare-routine\">3. Supplement Your Skincare Routine<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you need extra support, consider adding a supplement to your body care routine. Taking a supplement like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/2\/daily-cleanse\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM Nutrition\u2019s Daily Cleanse<\/a> can help support clearer skin from the inside out. The supplement is made with 14 different natural detoxifiers (such as chlorella and spirulina), which help eliminate impurities and support overall skin health.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-adjust-your-diet\">4. Adjust Your Diet<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>While topicals are helpful in treating body acne, what\u2019s on the inside can help too. Your diet could potentially be causing your body acne flare-ups. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/dairy-and-acne\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">Dairy has been linked to acne<\/a>, for example.) But other items like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-causes-acne\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> sugary foods and whey protein powders<\/a> are also known to cause breakouts. Try reducing your intake of these kinds of foods and see if your body acne improves.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-keep-your-hair-clean\">5. Keep Your Hair Clean<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>While there\u2019s still an ongoing debate about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-often-should-you-wash-your-hair\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">how often you should wash your hair<\/a>, cleansing it regularly can help you avoid body breakouts. If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-grow-hair-faster\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">long hair<\/a> or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-make-your-hair-less-greasy\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> particularly greasy hair<\/a>, Dr. Green says that it may be one of the main causes of your body acne. How does that work? When you wear your hair down, grease and product buildup can sit on skin, clog pores, and cause breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>As such, be sure to wash hair frequently and keep it off your back if you suspect it could be a triggering factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6f6559\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6f6559;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/What-causes-body-acne-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Man running on street sweating through his shirt\" class=\"wp-image-25625 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-rinse-off-after-sweating\">6. Rinse Off After Sweating<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Whether you just finished a hardcore workout or you simply sweat on a warm day, washing your body immediately can help prevent body acne. Just as leftover<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/causes-of-body-odor\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> remnants of sweat<\/a> on your face can lead to facial breakouts, the same goes for your body, too. Rinse your body off as soon as possible (and use a body acne-fighting body wash) to keep those breakouts at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-change-out-of-your-sweaty-clothes-asap\">7. Change Out of Your Sweaty Clothes ASAP<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Do you suffer from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/does-sweat-cause-acne\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">post-workout b<\/a>reakouts? Just as it\u2019s important to rinse off, it\u2019s also important to change out of your sweaty clothes. That\u2019s because fabric holds all that acne-causing sweat against your pores\u2014pressing it further into your pores.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Because of this, Dr. Green says that it\u2019s important to shed your sweaty clothes soon after a completed workout or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/benefits-of-hiking\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> outdoor adventure<\/a>. Naturally, the same goes for breaking a sweat on hot days.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-wear-breathable-fabric\">8. Wear Breathable Fabric<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>We understand\u2014leggings are tight tanks are comfy clothes that work in or out of the gym (WFH uniform, anyone?). But Dr. Green recommends wearing looser, more breathable clothing in everyday life if body acne is a concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>That way sweat, dirt, and bacteria will be less likely to get trapped in your waistband, bra strap, or wherever else your body acne breakouts typically bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-consult-a-dermatologist\">9. Consult a Dermatologist<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If the tips above don&#8217;t work as well as you&#8217;d hoped, Dr. Green advises consulting your dermatologist about additional treatment options. (In fact, she says getting a derm\u2019s opinion from the start can expedite the clearing process.)\u201cYour dermatologist can run specific tests to determine the root cause of your acne,\u201d she explains. From there, there&#8217;s a range of topical and oral options available. Lastly, for females, there are also other treatment options specifically geared for hormonal flare-ups, including but not limited to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/different-types-of-birth-control\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> birth control pills<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dealing with bacne or buttne?
