❌ Body acne isn't a hygiene problem. And scrubbing harder isn't the answer. ❌
If you deal with breakouts on your back, chest, shoulders, or other areas of the body, you may have tried stronger body washes, more exfoliation, or scrubbing your skin harder.
But acne isn't caused by being "dirty."
Body acne can develop when excess oil, dead skin cells, bacteria, and inflammation contribute to clogged pores. Hormones and other factors can also play a role.
Over-cleansing or aggressive scrubbing can irritate the skin and make it harder for your skin barrier to stay balanced.
The goal isn't to scrub your skin into submission.
It's to treat body acne like acne.
That means understanding what's contributing to your breakouts and choosing the right combination of skincare and professional treatment for your skin.
A skin consultation allows us to evaluate your concerns and create a personalized acne treatment plan rather than relying on trial and error.
