Acne Body Wash That Really Works
Acne Body Wash That Really Works
by Dave Poon
One gets when his sebaceous glands and hair follicles get inflamed. The inflammation causes pimples, whiteheads, blackheads and pustules to appear, commonly on the face, particularly the cheeks and the forehead. But can also appear on the neck, back, chest, shoulders and even in odd locations in your body like your buttocks.
Body
When inflammation shows up mostly on your chest, on your back and other parts of your body, yours is called body acne. I know it could be very upsetting to have those ugly pimples all over your body but at least they dont show upon your pretty face--that could be more distressful and humiliating, too. But dont you worry because just like other forms of acne, it wont last and a simple body wash can help you prevent further inflammation on your skin.
Body may be light, moderate or severe. The latter is characterized by large and even painful lesions. In such cases, the doctor may recommend topical drugs instead of an body wash but for light and moderate cases of acne, a regular body wash would be enough. In a matter of weeks or a couple of months, your body may already be totally free of or at least, suffering from lesser unsightly pimples, papules and pustules.
Acne Body Wash - How it Works
Like other kinds of acne, the real cause of body is not yet known although scientists say its due to some hormones and other factors like stress. It has been proven though that certain things trigger and may further cause irritation on the skin. A regular body wash prevents the latter to happen. Although it may not totally prevent the cause of acne, it prevents body from getting worse and thus, it helps you get rid of body faster.
Among the things that trigger body are perspiration and clothing or anything held closely against the body like a backpack. As you perspire, sweat is trapped against your skin and gets mixed with oil, especially when you are wearing tight clothes. This would clog the pores of your skin and cause the pimples to appear. Continuously wearing
tight clothes could irritate the skin even further.
Active Ingredient of Body Wash
Your body skin is thicker than your facial skin. Moreover, the clothes that you wear tend to create friction against your skin. For these reasons, you need a special kind of body wash, moreover, treatment. You need body wash in particular.
What makes this body wash different then? Since an body wash is no ordinary body wash, it comes with special ingredients. It may either have salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide. These active ingredients are used to clean the body more efficiently and unclog the pores. In this way it prevents inflammation of the oil glands and the hair follicles.
After Body Wash
Especially for moderate to severe cases of body acne, it would be best to use other treatment aside from the body wash. A special benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid pad may be used in wiping affected areas of the body after wahsing. Also, you may need to apply special kind of moisturizer and topical retinoid like Retin-A. In some severe cases, the doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to prevent infection.
