This post is not about something pleasant in fact it can be rather unsightly and annoying,
yup I'm talking about Backne those pesky blemishes which are often painful and appear
on the back and shoulder areas.
Of course not everyone will suffer from Backne and if yours is pretty serious then a visit to your doctor
is your best bet but if like myself you are prone to the odd breakout, typically I suffer the most in the colder
months as very little skin gets to see any natural light through fear of frostbite...brr!
Recently I have been using Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Oil Skin Wash, which can be used
all over including the face as it is gentle with a skin friendly pH balance, so the skin is not stripped of its
natural moisture levels which is important regardless of where on the body you use it.
Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Oil Skin Wash is a light foaming wash that is coupled with natural Tea Tree Oil, which is a natural antiseptic so it helps to kill any bacteria on the skin, remove excess oil
and as we all know Tea Tree Oil is a great natural blemish buster.
I simply use this in place of a regular shower gel and ensure that I use it at least once a day on my problem
areas, I find it dries out any blemishes on my body and they disappear quicker than when they are left to
their own devices not to mention by using this I have noticed it prevents future blemishes appearing,
which is always a winning trait in my book.
You didn't hear this from me but this is what most Clarins counters use to deep cleanse their make-up brushes, i've yet to try it for this purpose but if it's good enough for Clarins it's good enough for me.

I use my Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, it is anti-bac so is very good for acne. Backne is such a taboo for women, sadly people who suffer from it cannot talk openly about it. It is different differently compared to facial acne, when it is still the same thing! Makes getting support for it hard! Thank you for writing this post!

Huh, I've started using a Body Shop tea tree oil body wash as I have breakouts on my shoulders. I might give this a try if the one I've got doesn't work out.
ReplyDeleteI think people can be very straight forward about acne on the face, but I was always ashamed as a teen about my back/shoulder acne as I thought it was totally abnormal. Wish I'd had these products back then!

Great post - wish there was information like this when I was a teenager because I had terrible backne, which was very painful and left scars when it eventually cleared up. There was a Neutrogena cleanser you used to be able to get that was great for back acne, but I think they've discontinued it. You're just right though, if your acne is serious or starting to scar definitely go see your GP because there's so really good treatments out there now. I had terrible acne in my teens but looking at my skin now you'd think I'd been blessed with clear skin for my whole life!

I hate the pesky spots i occasionally get on my back :( I think i have a spray bottle i purchased from boots which is meant to be for the chest and back~ Can't really remember what brand it is but it works and reduces the amount of pimples i get. Thanks for sharing this product, although i have significantly less now...maybe i've grown out of it and my oily skin is slowly turning into dry! xxx
ReplyDeleteI never used to suffer from Backacne until i turned 30. Very strange age to start with an acne problem in that area i feel. And to make matters worse, they're cystic rather than (sorry i'm being yuck) popping zits.
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in using some of this for sure.
Sorry for being gross.

Tea tree oil is one og my go-to ingredients to fight acne and spots!
ReplyDeleteFrom my own experience, for bacne... leaving them alone, warm compresses, and patience, I would think it might be helpful. Also, a good OTC treatment system can do wonders if you find the right one for your skin type. See some good reviews and comparisons on them @ http://dermahealthreview.com/blog
