The hot and humid climate in Singapore can often lead to body acne. By choosing the right skincare products, keeping your skin dry, and maintaining regular bathing habits, you can effectively combat breakouts and restore smooth skin.
Here are the 5 tips to get rid of body acne.
1. Stick to liquid cleansers
Swap the bar soap for a men’s body wash. Bar soap can actually dry your skin out, which results in your body producing extra oil to compensate. This abundance of oil can clog your pores and cause men’s body acne breakouts if you’re not careful. A gentle liquid body wash cleanser for men ensures you treat your skin with the delicacy it deserves.
2. Pay more attention to grooming
If you go months without a haircut, stop. Long, sweaty hair can cause back acne and neck acne if it constantly brushes up against your skin. If you don’t want to say goodbye to your long locks, consider finding a way to keep it off your back when you’re working out. Also, use a men’s shampoo with salicylic acid to promote a clear scalp.
3. Hit the showers
Whether you’re sweaty from the heat, exercise or some other factor, make sure you wash up and change clothes as soon as possible. Keeping your sweaty clothing on can attract bacteria, dirt and other debris that may clog pores and make back acne and chest acne worse.
4. Use acne products with benzoyl peroxide
Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most effective ingredients for fighting men’s body acne and back acne. A men’s acne spot cream can help you with individual pimples. If you’re always on the go, consider using men’s acne pads. They contain another dermatologist-recommended – salicylic acid – that can help with men’s body acne breakouts.
5. Choose fabrics wisely
Cotton is notorious for trapping sweat that can clog pores and lead to body acne breakouts. So if you sweat a lot or exercise often, consider using other skin-friendly fabrics. A lot of workout clothes now feature sweat-wicking technology, which keeps sweat away from your body and may reduce the risk of body acne breakouts.
