My Acne Remedies

Here is a great remedy for body acne (pimples on your back and buttocks). After showering and cleansing with an acne body wash, dissolve a good quantity of salt in some warm water. Brush or otherwise apply this saltwater to all areas with body acne. Let the saltwater dry on your skin before dressing.

Body acne is due in part to the presence of a warm, moist environment that occurs when your body sweats and can't immediately evaporate due to the covering of clothes. This promotes the activity of bacteria that infect and inflame your pores and cause zits and pimples in these areas. With the dried saltwater, whenever these areas produce moisture from sweating, the salt dissolves into the moisture and causes high salinity which is not hospitable to these kinds of bacteria. Thus, they cannot thrive and so your body acne is reduced!
