What is body acne?

Body acne is acne that forms on your chest, back, butt, or arms, or anywhere else on your body that is not your face. I’ve dealt with it personally, and I have to just say ewww, it’s yucky.

Body acne is often worse than face acne, because the acne nodes are usually bigger, deeper, and more painful. Body acne also usually takes longer to go away.

In this article I will show you 3 home remedies for acne and tell you if they work.

Home remedy #1

Toothpaste. This is the silliest of all the home remedies that I will be talking about today, but some people swear that toothpaste really works to get rid of body acne.

If you apply toothpaste directly to the acne nodule, it won’t hurt, but in my experience it doesn’t help either. It just doesn’t have enough active ingredients to do much good. So as a home remedy for acne on your body, I would probably avoid this one.

Home remedy #2

The next home remedy has a funny name, witch hazel. Witch hazel is actually a natural astringent, and you can find it at any drug store for just a few dollars.

To apply witch hazel, just use a cotton ball and apply it directly to the pimple. Witch hazel is very soothing, and will reduce the redness of the acne. I recommend this home remedy for mild acne.

Home remedy #3

What you want is a body wash or solution that contatins Salicylic Acid. Salicylic acid is one of the best ingredients on the market today for clearing acne and keeping it from coming back. It’s a true way to cure body acneIf you can get it in a boody wash, it is even easier to use for body acne.

Salicylic Acid is an amazing acne fighting ingrediant, especially when combined with Citric Acid. When you put these two ingredients together they pack a powerful 1-2 punch, and clear up acne fast.

This body acne home remedy is a little pricier than others at about $20 a month, but it gives you some of the best weapons to get rid of body acne and keep it from coming back.
