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. (more...)

I've had horrible acne all my life on my whole body. It's not just painful physically but emotionally and socially as well. Like most acne sufferers I've tried many, many remedies, some of which worked a little, and some of which worked not at all. I can't remember how I heard this, but at one point I was told to try washing my skin with Head and Shoulders shampoo. (more...)

As an adolescent I had fairly bad body acne on my back. Now, as an adult, it seems to have migrated down to my buttocks and thighs, although it's not nearly as bad. There's one thing I've noticed that helps with this.

After showering (during which you of course washed your acne-prone areas) I towel dry thoroughly, but then I air dry for several minutes before dressing. This way when I put my clothes on my skin is completely dry. I'm not sure why, but dressing while still damp seems for me at least to aggravate my body acne. Hope this helps!
