Women frequently wear clothes that are cut low in the back. With the influence of the lingerie look this summer, clothes with deeply cut back lines are in vogue and so the back is a part that requires more attention.
The back is a part of the body that produces much sebum. Therefore it is the part of body where acne appears most easily. Acne mostly appears on the opposite side of the chest and up from there, a part that is usually exposed when sporting the lingerie look.
The condition is frequently aggravated by other physical stimulus such as air pollution, ultraviolet rays, and perspiration. Also, during times like the rainy season, when the weather is hot and humid, acne forms very easily and skin trouble occurs because sebum secretion becomes more active.
In addition, the back is a place that is difficult to reach alone, thus it is not cleansed thoroughly while taking a shower or bath and skin care is neglected. While sleeping, perspiration gathers there and it is also a place that meets a lot of friction with the bed covers, other elements that exacerbate the condition.
The neck and chest is a place where the skin structure is especially delicate and so usually suppurating acne appears there, leaving blackish red pigmentation that does not disappear easily, causing more distress. These days, they are often caused by lack of deep cleansing after using color-toning cosmetics on chest and back when going out.
Above all, the skin structure in the back area is thick, so it is good to cleanse it with warm water and then use a stronger type of soap. Use a long towel or scrubbing brush, and also try a deep cleanser once or twice a week, like the kind used for the face. Thoroughly apply body moisturizer after taking a shower or bath; a gel type is recommended. Stay away from strong scented colognes or greasy body creams, and women should be sure to take off their brassieres before going to bed.
Also, make sure to frequently wash bed sheets and pajamas to maintain a clean environment for the skin. Tight nylon textiles are not good for the body, so another way to prevent back acne is to be sure to wear cotton clothing where the clothing and back area meet.
