With our hot and humid climate, it’s common to wear lighter clothing like flowy dresses and cami tops to stay cool.

Keep reading to learn how to clear bacne and feel confident in your skin year-round.
What is Bacne?
Bacne refers to acne that occurs on the back and shoulders, often resembling pimples, blackheads, and scars. Though it may be uncomfortable, bacne is quite common and treatable with the right skincare routine.
What Causes Bacne?
Similar to facial acne, bacne is caused by a combination of excess oil production, dead skin cells, and bacteria clogging the pores. Sweat, tight clothing, and hair products can also contribute to the formation of bacne.
How to Get Rid of Bacne
1. Cleanse with CareSimilar to facial acne, bacne is caused by a combination of excess oil production, dead skin cells, and bacteria clogging the pores. Sweat, tight clothing, and hair products can also contribute to the formation of bacne.
2. Exfoliate RegularlyThe skin on your back and shoulders is more resilient compared to your face, so using a physical exfoliator once or twice a week can help. This will remove dead skin cells that may contribute to clogged pores. Opt for a natural body exfoliator like Organic Lab’s Smoothing Body Exfoliating Gel, which gently polishes away impurities, promoting smoother, clearer skin

4. Choose Loose ClothingTight clothing can trap sweat and bacteria, creating the perfect environment for bacne. Wearing loose, breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo can help regulate your body temperature and keep your back dry.
5. Opt for Natural Body Care ProductsAvoid using harsh chemicals on your back. Natural body care products are less likely to irritate the skin and can help in clearing bacne. For instance, L'erbolario Ambraliquida Soap is free of harmful additives and rich in plant-based ingredients that nurture the skin, making it a gentle and effective solution for back acne.
Tip: Avoid popping or picking at bacne, as this can lead to scarring and further breakouts.
