Here are some steps you can take to get rid of persistent body acne and prevent them for appearing again in near future.
Monsoon is often blamed for bringing in various skin and hair-related challenges. While getting acne on face is quite common, many people spot bumps and lumps on their entire body amid changing weather conditions. When you are dealing with a new set of skincare problems, it is crucial not to judge your worth according to these issues. It is important to be comfortable in your own skin and enjoy your being.
Having said that, body acne has become a common skincare concern and it can be hard to handle if you don’t use the right medications to treat it. Moreover, using the wrong formulations can also sometimes make the condition worse, causing it to break out on newer parts of your body. To help give you a run-down on tackling your body acne, Malini Adapureddy, Founder of Deconstruct, is here to offer the steps you could take to get rid of persistent body acne and prevent them from appearing again in the future.

Get to know your acne
One of the biggest factors hindering your ability to effectively treat acne is the knowledge of what kind of acne is on your body. Acne comes in all shapes and forms and can be stubborn or easy to deal with. With the varying nature of acne, it is important to first properly identify the location, with the back, thighs, and hands being common areas. The next step would be to identify its type based on its appearance. Identifying whether the acne on your body is appearing in the form of pimples or in the form of small boils can further help you figure out the best course of treatment to tackle the problem effectively.
Don't stress, express
Stress is one of the biggest contributors to acne, and the fast-paced lives that we lead can further enhance the appearance of acne in the body. One of the easiest ways to take care of acne in the long term is to reduce the amount of stress, mainly by engaging in de-stressing activities. At the end of a stressful day, engaging in such activities will help you tackle several health issues, including body acne. Remember, you are not alone, and it is always good to express yourself with friends or loved ones -- and it can help with your body acne too!
Lather up the love
Using the right kind of products is one of the most essential ways to tackle body care concerns, especially since using the wrong products can often lead to breakouts. Using the right ingredients will not only help you reduce the appearance of acne, but can also prevent newer acne from appearing. Using an exfoliating body wash with AHA + BHA, which is fragrance-free and silicon free is the best approach to take when trying to deal with body acne. Exfoliating Body Washes with 11 per cent AHA + 2 per cent BHA is an excellent choice for those who want to use a gentle exfoliating cleanser to unclog pores and reduce the production of sebum on the skin.
Moisturise right
One of the biggest misconceptions for those who get regular body acne is that you shouldn`t moisturise as that can block your pores and increase the acne appearance. This notion is only half true since the impact of a moisturiser largely depends on the kind of product that you are using. Using a moisturiser with ingredients such as Dioic Acid and Cocoa Butter can help soothe the skin, and help reduce the appearance of acne, dark spots and discoloration without causing any damage. It is always important to be informed about the kind of ingredients you are using, and to read the ingredients on the products that you are purchasing to know what you are putting on your body, and how they can help you.
You are what you eat
We have all heard our elders telling us not to eat certain foods because they cause pimples and acne and they are absolutely right. The kind of food you eat can directly affect the appearance of pimples on your body and eating right can significantly reduce their appearance, when done in conjunction with all of the steps mentioned above. Eating a healthy and balanced diet of greens, protein and vitamins can provide your body with the nourishment that it needs and can help clear up your skin from within. Avoid foods that are deep fried or rich in fats and sugar, and watch your skin go from pimple prone to one with a glow!
