Pimples can be a challenge to treat. Unfortunately, getting pimples isn’t limited to your teen years or your face. Breakouts can happen anytime and can attack any part of your body including your back. Backless outfits are in all the rave during summer, but who wants to show off their back if it’s covered in zits?
Fortunately, there are a few smart ways to prevent and to zap them goodbye. Keep reading to find out just how to clear blemishes up.
Rinse-Off ASAP
Letting the sweat and dirt sit on your skin after a vigorous workout may be a huge contributor to backne. The sooner you shower after exercising, the better it is for your skin. If you can't shower right away, it is wise to change out of the sweaty sportswear into clean, dry comfort wear to minimise the chances of breaking out.
Needless to say, never ever wear sweaty workout clothes without washing as the bacteria will cause an uproar when in contact with your skin.

Rock a Ponytail
Long hair that is styled with mousse, gel, hair oil and hairspray can contribute dirt and oil when in contact with your skin at the back. Tie your tresses up into a ponytail or bun when you are exercising.
Wash your hair regularly, and never allow shampoo and condition to run down your back as the ingredients found in them can cause clogged pores and subsequently acne.
Scope Out Your Scalp
Your scalp may not have breakouts but it can still have an overgrowth microscopically of yeast and bacteria that can travel down your neck when you are sweating. The upper back is one of the most common areas for bacne and most likely to be exposed. Use an anti-dandruff shampoo like Avalon Organics Anti-Dandruff Shampoo which contains bacteria-fighting properties that will leave your scalp and back squeaky clean.

Scrub Your Back Regularly
If you want to maintain the health of your back, start with a good cleanse and then a weekly gentle scrub to plunge out accumulated dirt, oil and clear clogged pores. Choose a gentle exfoliating scrub like Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash Pink Grapefruit that contains salicylic acid to remove extra dirt, dead skin and oils from your skin without over-drying.
Set Up Appointment With a Derm
Everyone has different skin type and habit, so if the 4 techniques don't work for it, it may be time for you to visit the derm to get your backne sorted out.
