Although hormones and genetic factors also play a role with the emergence of this problem, but some of these steps you can try to overcome acne on the back during exercise.
If you are active enough to exercise often, you certainly know that acne is the same thing as muscle, which can easily increase. Hehehe ... Who here is experiencing this problem too? It's our fate! It's okay, so I want to discuss it here.
Bacne popular designation, aka back acne aka acne on the back, is a lump that feels pain when you wear clothes like a tight tank top or a swimsuit. Especially for acne-prone skin owners , you must be used to face facial, chest or back breaks at the same time. Although hormones and genetic factors also play a role with the emergence of this problem, but some of these steps you can try to overcome acne on the back during exercise.
What causes back acne?
Before discussing it more deeply, let us first study, why does this bacne appear? According to Joshua Zeichner, a certified dermatologist in New York City, the factors that cause acne on the back appear to be just like acne on the face. It can be caused by skin cells that clog the skin follicles so that they accumulate oil and bacterial growth. Collectively this can cause inflammation in the pores, or what we call pimples.
Well, worse, a sweaty workout session can make this happen. Sweat is not directly related to acne, you know. Especially if you sweat excessively, this can trap dirt and oils that cause inflammation and acne. Already like that, its position that is difficult to reach using your hands makes you even more lazy, right?
Tricks to prevent back acne
Choose the right sports clothes
Look for sports clothing material that is easy to absorb sweat and can lock in moisture for a long time, such as dry fit material which is quite popular among sports jersey materials because of its high absorption ability.
Take off your sports clothes immediately after you finish exercising
Sweat and bacteria can clog pores and make you more prone to breakouts. Not only during exercise, even if you wear a heavy backpack and sweat when wearing it, your back can be prone to breakouts. Well, use clothes that are easy to absorb sweat.
Take a shower immediately after exercise
Why? Because a quick shower helps you get rid of sweat, dirt, and oils from the skin. If your sports facilities don't provide a bathroom, calm down, you can use a wet towel to rinse your sweaty skin.
Try cleansers that contain salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that can help remove excess oil and exfoliate dead cells from the surface of the skin and keep your skin pores clean. Many brands offer cleansers that are specifically designed for the whole body. In addition, you may also need to invest in a bath sponge that is designed with a long handle to be able to scrub areas that are difficult to reach.
Use products with benzoyl peroxide
If your skin becomes red, blotchy, use products containing benzoyl peroxide which can reduce levels of bacteria that cause acne, treat acne and prevent the development of new zits. The products I recommend are: Peter Thomas Roth Acne Face and Body Scrub and Neutrogena Body Clear Acne Body Wash.
Check with a dermatologist immediately
Acne on the back can leave permanent scarring, you know. Therefore, immediately visit a dermatologist if this problem does not stop and you get effective treatment if treatment at home does not work.
May the acne on your back be resolved quickly!
